Arthur Blank's Gatorade bath

[HolyDuckett!]

Too bad it wasn't the jacket he was wearing Monday night. Last time I saw someone wearing something that ugly the dude was offering me a paper towel after I took a leak.

Saw this on another site when the commercial came out. It's a review of the commercial ... heres the Arthur part.

"Some teamwork begins, and it's nice, but the real highlight of the entire piece is Arthur Blank apparently bobbing his head to either the Dead Kennedys or Twista. A man doesn't stack paper like Mr. Blank does unless he thinks one step ahead at all times, and that includes both dancing on a bus and founding Home Depot. Arthur Blank dances faster than you because GET MONEY."

I am sure Blank would but a special 10,000$ suit every year if it would mean he would get the soaking for the same reason every year.

If you read his lips he said, "OH, shit!" but you could tell he wasn't mad about it, he was just happy for the cause.

If that was Al Davis Turner and Roddy would've been cut instantly.

Well Don Banks of SI has a stick up his ass about them drenching him.


Really, a Gatorade bath for Falcons owner Arthur Blank after Atlanta trounces Carolina and locks up the NFC's No. 1 seed? Even if it was water and not the sticky stuff, do you think the man brought a second suit to the Georgia Dome anticipating a celebratory drenching? Knowing Blank, he might have.

But didn't A.B. kind of learn a lesson of sorts a few years back about the danger of appearing a little too chummy with the players he employs (see Vick, Michael, with Blank pushing him around in wheelchair)? Maybe we should make a new rule: Owners don't get the Gatorade bucket treatment, unless they're trying to give someone the same thing.

That was one of the coolest things I've ever seen hahahaha. What other owners are cool enough to take that? Jones isn't, Kraft isn't, and all the others stay in their boxes and out of sight. Mr. Blank is the GOAT owner

that's because it probably would have given him a stroke

That suit is so nice the water seemed to roll right off of it. Must be pure Sharkskin....
