The Newest Chrysler Commercial with Ndamukong Suh Will Give You Chills (Again)

Written by Rob Rogacki on .

Chrysler is absolutely killing it with this "Imported from Detroit" campaign. Here's their newest spot, featuring 2011 NFL Defensive Player of the Year (yup, you read that right) Ndamukong Suh.

Verbatim:

Humble beginnings are true beginnings. They're character-building beginnings. They're "hard work ethic" beginnings. They're "appreciate what you've earned" beginnings. They are the purest way to gauge success, maybe the only way to gauge success. But the most powerful thing about humble beginnings is that they are humbling. Show where you're going without forgetting where you're from.

So Detroit, which commercial is better? The Super Bowl ad with Eminem or this one? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

Curing Your Sunday Night Depression Makes a Return with Olivia Wilde

Written by Rob Rogacki on .

Sunday Night Depression (SND) is a very serious cognitive disorder affecting many Americans, one that can have a significant negative impact on the end of your weekend. We've provided small doses of an anti-debreastant cure before, but, like Dr. House (more on him later), we're here to help no matter how much we make fun of you in the process.

Tonight is especially important to be on the lookout for signs of SND. Between coming down off the high of Justin Verlander's no-hitter and the Wings facing elimination in Game 5, things could look fairly bleak in the D tomorrow morning.

Speaking of Dr. House, this week's remedy comes from Olivia Wilde, a.k.a. "Thirteen" or "Dr. Hadley" (starting in Season 4, of course). A doctor that looks like this should be able to cure just about anything that ails you.

Here's a quick brain teaser to start your day: how many "that's what she said" jokes can you get out of Danica Patrick in this clip? [via Deadspin]

  • U.S. soccer player Charlie Davies returned from an 18 months hiatus after his horrific car crash to score 2 goals for D.C. United on Saturday night. It's a great story, and hopefully just the beginning for Davies and the U.S. as he continues to recover.

Greg Gumbel Lives In the Past, Still Thinks He Works for ESPN

Written by Rob Rogacki on .

Despite what Greg Gumbel wants you to think, the Michigan-Duke Uncle Tom Grudge Match that is tipping off in about 10 minutes is on CBS, not ESPN.

Greg Gumbel hasn't worked at ESPN since the '80s, but we'll give him the benefit of the doubt. In fact, the entire CBS crew could use a wake-up call.

This Pink-Shirted Nets Fan Is Winning More Than Charlie Sheen

Written by Rob Rogacki on .

Times have been hard on New Jersey Nets fans lately, but between new mob boss owner Mikhail Prokhorov and new point guard Deron Williams, things seem to be looking up in Newark... well, until people realize that they're in Newark, that is.

Thankfully, this happy guy still hasn't realized that sorrowful fact yet, and is having a blast in the time being.

And the gif... [via @jose3030, if the image itself didn't make it obvious enough]

Happy pink-shirted Nets fan

MLB 2K11 Is Pretty Awesome (And No, They Aren't Sponsoring Us)

Written by Rob Rogacki on .

I'm going to be starting a new feature here at D4L. Every time I play a new video game (which is almost never), I'm going to put up a comprehensive review rambling thoughts on what I think about the game. Since I have some down time over the next few days, I picked up MLB 2K11 at the last video rental store on earth.

MLB 2K11

The first thing that caught my eye when the game loaded up was the "MLB Today" feature, giving me an option to play any of today's Spring Training games. Naturally, I picked the Tigers, who were conveniently matched up against the Washington Nationals. I was slightly disappointed that the game didn't have today's pitching matchups or lineups, but I was going to start Justin Verlander anyway so this doesn't really matter. I'd assume that the game will update this for the regular season.

Monday 'Bracket Day' Links - Princeton's Buzzer Beater Over Harvard, Tom Brady's Awful Dancing, NCAA Tournament Bracket Reactions, & Bill Walton's Guinness Commercial

Let's go dancing, y'all. [via Mock Session]

Tom Brady Dancing

  • First, a serious note: our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in Japan and those affected by the earthquake and tsunami. Don from With Malice (a site you should be reading already) lives in southern Japan and has been providing updates both on his site and on Twitter.

  • Want to maximize your Gus Johnson exposure this weekend? Check out Awful Announcing for the full announcing schedule for this week's games.
  • As annoying/entertaining (depending on your opinion) as he can be when announcing (un-bee-LEEEEEEEEE-vable!), this Guinness commercial makes Bill Walton look like a straight bad ass.

  • I couldn't believe this when I read about it a few days ago, but Chuck Norris is 71 (!!!) now. And yes, he could still easily kick your ass.

Andrei Kirilenko Can't Make a Layup But He Can Make His Coach Sad

Written by Rob Rogacki on .

Andrei Kirilenko proved that height isn't everything in basketball at the tail end of the Utah Jazz's 103-101 loss to the Denver Knicks Nuggets last night.

If missing that isn't enough, look how sad Kirilenko made his coach, Tyrone Corbin. Poor guy.
