Back in the day, Miller Lite hit upon a winning formula. They ran a series of television commercials featuring retired superstars from various sports. The spots had a class reunion vibe to them and featured icons like Bubba Smith, Dick Butkus, Ray Nitschke, Ben Davidson, John Madden, Boog Powell, Joe Frazier, Billy Martin and George Steinbrenner, among others. They were funny in their day. You can still catch them on YouTube and get a gander at the rug Boog Powell was wearing. In a few of the spots, a middle aged, balding man also appeared. I remember asking my father who that guy was.
