Dick Butkus - R.I.P.

Those Miller Lite ads should be in the Hall of Fame of genius marketing. Turn a diet beer no one would touch to a "light beat that was less filling" (so guys could drink MORE!). It started the entire trend of light beers which are now the dominant selling style of beer in America...

 

Are you blind...in that video the only cover I saw had Paulina Porizkova.

 

I saw that last year or so. He joined Twitter as well. If you're on there look up his account. There's some pretty awesome stuff. About what you'd expect 78 year old Dick Butkus to say write on a cell phone in an app I am not sure he really even understands. National treasure lost.

 

I think I am going to start drinking beer out of goblets now.

 

Gotta love him handing dude the ball. He’s a smartass too.

 

It did kinda look like him but I think it's maybe Cal Ripken? I'm 99% sure it's a Baltimore Oriole.

 

I use to live getting my issue of Soorts Ilustrated. I think it’s the only magazine I ever subscribed to. I use to bring the paper to work with me every morning. Reading print is weird now.

 

Butkus and Ray Nitschke defined the position for me in my youth. Loved to watch them destroy RBs.

 

Yeah, those two and Concrete Charlie pretty much defined that position in that era.
