One advertisement pertaining to sports that I have seen recently that has caught my eye is the Derrick Rose ADIDAS commercial. The main idea of the ad is "The Return" because of the way that Derrick Rose ended his season last year because of a knee injury. There are several images and short clips of Rose becoming stronger and getting back to peak fitness and also how the fans of Chicago are awaiting his return with baited breath. With the background inspirational music it makes me although I am not a dire hard basketball fan want to watch him and see "The Return."
One ad that I absolutely hate is by none other than Tim Tebow. He has a Gatorade commercial where he is doing a voice over of himself working out saying things like "They said I couldn't be a high school quarterback." Yeah, that never happened. He only was Florida's Mr. Football, was a two time winner of the player of the year, won a state title, and was a high school all american. Next he says "They said I couldn't be a college quarterback." Idiot. He was only the highest ranked quarterback in his recruiting class and got playing time as a quarterback in his first season. Then he finishes with "They said I couldn't be an NFL quarterback." This time Tim they were right.

Step Brothers

Step Brothers is a cinematic masterpiece. With its complex themes and undertones Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly complement one another perfectly. Alright, maybe not. The main point of the movie was just to watch the progression of these two step brothers who are now 35 and still act as if they are 11. They can only function with the help of their parents but when they are kicked out of the house they have to fend for themselves and grow up. The plot of the movie is not the most important part because most of the meat of the movie is the conversations and physical altercations that Ferrell and Reilly get into. Step Brothers is a stereotypical story of how two underdogs rise to the occasion to marginally improve their lives. The progression of the characters and all the havoc they cause in that process is the main reason why I and so many others enjoyed this movie.
