So, this is the sort of thing we’ve been working on while I’m in Dallas with the Captain Morgan people. In this video, Brent Celek talks to the Captain about the medical condition that forced him to do the Captain Morgan pose after scoring a touchdown in a game against the Cowboys. I think it turned out well; despite the inherent evils of advertising,
this video actually made me laugh. (Gratuitous Simpons quote that comes to mind every time I say something nice about Captain Morgan: “What a brave corporate logo!”)
Anyway, regardless of your feelings about spiced rum or advertising or lack of hilarious groin shots, there is a little slice of magnanimity here: the One Million Poses campaign donates $1 to a charity called the First Mate fund every time someone submits a picture of the Captain’s pose to their Facebook page.
We’ll have a couple more of these videos before the Super Bowl begins. I promise to do my best to make them modestly entertaining if you go easy on the angry torch- and pitchfork-waving.


Impressive. Celek went more than a full minute without dropping anything.

CC; I’m sure that Cap’n dude is fun to hang out with and what not, but it just seems, well, with his job, free booze, bar closing time, etc. that he is not entirely parasite free. imjusayin.
Is Captain Morgan played by Tommy Gunn?
Marissa?
What did I miss? I thought Drew used to be in advertising? Is CC writing these?
Where’s Marissa?
Another TE with a big penis?

I don’t like to play favorites.
LATER
I don’t care for Brent.
Dude, you shoulda iced that Bro.
Not to be too literal here, but isn’t Celek raising the other leg in the picture?
All this time I thought he was imitating and dog by a hydrant (hydrant = defense). I should have known; EVERYTHING in the NFL is sponsored.
Who is sponsoring Favre’s junk? The Mini?
I think I do that in yoga…it’s called “tree pose”
I’m so proud of Scott Weiland for landing that Captain Morgan job. Atta boy.
Brent is an angel, he had a rough time this season thanks to a terrible oline and a QB who thought check down meant run like hell or get sacked.
You all shut it. He’s brilliant.
So we saw this I think three times this year.
If we saw it every time he had to be kept back for extra blockers, different story.
I am aware of this condition. Mystery Science Theater 3000 detailed this in “The Giant Gila Monster” experiment. You can find a quick view on the Ray Kellogg “Leg Up” blocking motion in the YOUTUBE video “A Leg Up”.
