No, Tom Brady’s car accident this morning had nothing to do with drinking (unless we’re talking about drinking handsome juice – up top, ladies!) but I was still slightly thrown off when I watched ESPN.com’s report on the incident and it was sponsored by Coors Light.
Watch for yourself in ESPN’s Fun Size embed:
A Coors Light ad plays, then a 5-second “This report brought to you by Coors Light” trailer plays, then the video plays, then if you want to watch the next video, another Coors Light ad plays. It’s kind of funny that any company is sponsoring news about an athlete’s car crash, let alone a product that shares such a tumultuous relationship with automobiles.
At least Coors can be proud of the ground-breaking ESPN reporting, which includes the highly informative quote from Tom Brady’s father, “I understand he’s fine, but I haven’t talked to him,” and an interview with a pedestrian who says “He seemed fine.”
