Priceless Pep Talks and Marketing Genius.

Hello readers. Grlfrnd has been away for awhile because she isn’t working full time. She made a decision back in early December to make herself happy and get out of her job. What does not make Grlfrnd happy is the fact that football season will be over in two weeks. At least there is one of my teams in the SuperBowl. GO GIANTS!!! Boo Tom Brady and the evil Patriots. Admittedly they have had a great season.

Grlfrnd has throughly enjoyed the Priceless Pep Talk commercials with Peyton Manning. Why? They are funny. Sunday’s debut of the end of football season struck a cord with Grlfrnd. After football there isn’t much for me in terms of sports. Grlfrnd has limited sports to choose from:

• Indy Racing League
• Conclusion of College Basketball….MARCH MADNESS (Is there a better reason to spend four straight days in a bar watching multiple games at once?)
• 2008 Summer Olympics

A real favorite of the peptalks is “Rock Hard Abs.” Peyton does a great job of being real and his advice could not be any better. “If you’re over the age of 21 or not a professional athlete, buy some bigger shirts.” Grlfrnd once wrote about how much she despises skinny jeans on men. Not only the skinny jeans, but the tight shirts that usually go along with the skinny jeans. Finally add the gut or muffin top and you have completed the look. This advice applies to both men and women. Women are the biggest offenders usually without the skinny jeans. BUY A BIGGER SHIRT or something that fits better. Thank you Peyton for saying the things that many of us would like to say to people. Too bad more of us don’t get paid the money you do for this advice.

There are currently ten of these commercials to entertain you. MasterCard® has created a variety of priceless moments over the last couple of years. The marketing department must be full of creative geniuses. Unlike the current Southwest commercials that annoy the crap out of Grlfrnd, these are well developed and thought out. Southwest increases productivity, ha! Maybe once you fight off other flyers for a decent seat after standing in your correct corral.

Peyton you should make a pep talk for your little brother Eli over the next two weeks. Grlfrnd looks forward to seeing these commercials on Sunday. Will they continue after the season? If not Grlfrnd will be even more bummed, beatings of LWN may occur.

What is left? Baseball? NBA? Grlfrnd can’t really knock the NHL, but it’s a really long season. Peyton you were right again, after football there is nothing.
