And now, part 2 of Larry the Lawyer’s search for a catchphrase…
The search for a catchphrase continues in this installment of Larry the Lawyers (a Matthew Dukes Production)…
We have managed to get our hands on the newest Advil commercial. You may have seen ones with Nolan Ryan talking about his sore joints, or just random folks telling you how Advil has changed their lives. This one is no different. While the voice-over is not on this clip yet, we have the transcript.
The guy talking is the one in the back who enters the commercial around the 27-second mark.
“Used to be, I couldn’t even make it through half of the first set at a music festival. I’d have to sit down, then my sore knees would still be killing me in the morning. Then my doctor suggested I try Advil. And he was right. Now, when I want to go dance at a music festival, I just take two Advil, wrap my knees in bandages, and I can make it the whole day through, and I never have to stop dancing. Thanks, Advil.”
We can be heroes, just for one day…
Then the next day, you wake up and remember you play for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The story out of Miami is that Florida International is threatening to pull its men’s basketball team out of the Coaches vs. Cancer pre-season tourney since it will be playing North Carolina instead of Ohio State.
In doing his best Wayne’s World impression, Gazelle Group president Rick Giles said, “I would be stunned if Isiah Thomas’ first act as a head coach was to break a contract.”
Hold on, we assume the reporter quoting Giles stopped the recorder before Giles finished his quote. There is no doubt his actual line was, “I would be stunned if Isiah Thomas’ first act as a head coach was to break a contract. NOT.”
After signing pitching phenom Stephen Strasburg to a record rookie contract, the Washington Nationals are offering 2,000 $1 tickets for the Nats game on Friday where Strasburg will be introduced in a pre-game press conference.
Upon reading this article on Yahoo, Nats’ owner Ted Lerner yelled, “No, no, no, I said to sell 15,000,000 tickets at $1 each, not 2,000!”
We think that after the “Natinals” incident, Lerner should have known that if he wanted it done right, he should have done it himself.
Word from ESPN is that John Smoltz is leaning toward signing with the St. Louis Cardinals for the stretch run. Upon hearing this news, mob scenes of celebration broke out in Chicago and Milwaukee.
“I will give up part of my paycheck to help make this happen,” Prince Fielder told our inside source.
In his 8 starts with Boston, Smoltz did not make it past 6 innings in any game and gave up 5 or more runs in 6 of the 8 starts. The Hall of Famer’s e.r.a. this season only looks good when compared to that of Chien-Ming Wang.
This is the “Catchphrase Edition,” according to the author.
