When TV cut back a little early to and Dr. during the Wizards-Cavaliers game yesterday, they caught Eagle, clearly lacking conversation from Dr.
Jack, making sure to give himself up to the commercial break dance party.
Our favorite part is, after Eagle does his little head-bob, he puts his hand on his chest, as if to say, "Heavens, mercy me, I must say, I quite almost lost it there!" Let yourself go, Ian Eagle; let yourself go.

A boardroom somewhere in corporate America: "Gentlemen, who better to sell our balls than ? And to add color, let's show him brandishing a beer and driving haphazardly in a golf cart!" (Murmurs of agreement).

A television commercial featuring golfer John Daly singing in a honky-tonk bar amid reveling beer drinkers and later shown grabbing a beer from a friend while driving a golf cart has been rejected by CBS. "It did not meet the standards of the CBS network," spokeswoman LeslieAnn Wade said Tuesday. "Any implied or direct reference to excessive consumption of alcohol would not meet network guidelines.And yet the network continues to employ Charlie Sheen. Hmm."
The commercial, which has run on the Golf Channel, is for Maxfli golf balls, which are manufactured by TaylorMade-Adidas Golf.
It's a curious decision to employ Daly in the ads, when there are so many straight-laced, successful alternatives from which to choose. Oh yeah: Those guys are extremely boring. Who are we to judge?
Perhaps next we'll see Marcus Vick eating a Big Mac in a Rawlings ad.
(UPDATE: A "tipster" -- who might or might not work for HarperCollins and occasionally write for this Web site -- informs us that "this trend will continue. Daly has a new book coming out later this year entitled Until then, you can belly up to the paperback of his autobiography which was just released last week.
