Budweiser

The Wizard is going to try working some magic in Washington D.C. It has been announced that Ozzie Smith is partnering with Budweiser in an attempt to get Major League Baseball's Opening Day designated as a national holiday.

Super Bowl XLVIII will go down as one of the most uneventful Super Bowls of all time. The halftime show with Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers had more energy than the players did for sure. Even the flyover of military helicopters was late. Perhaps Governor Chris Christie shut down a flying lane.

When you think of beer drinking you think of St. Louis, the home of Budweiser; Milwaukee, the home of Miller Beer; and the Rocky Mountain region, the home of Coors Beer. So when I read that none of those towns, or the states they are in, were tops in beer consumption per capita I was a little surprised, to say the least.

I admit I watch very little television except for news and sports, but I have been noticing some cleaver TV commercials that are currently being aired. There are also some really bad ones as well.

Last year my wife and I watched the Super Bowl with 300 friends. Actually we sat on the couch with our laptops commenting on the commercials through Facebook, so it was like watching with 300 friends. I assumed we would be doing the same this year. Didn't happen.

I just read where next season NBA players will wear advertising on their jerseys. It is a prelude to other teams and leagues doing that as well. It is not a new thought since NASCAR has been doing this for years now.
