The Norton Furniture guy was in a freaking Super Bowl commercial

(h/t Cleveland Scene)

Gold. Solid bars of pure gold.

I don’t know if it’s just me or what but I feel like I haven’t seen one of these puppies in quite some time. After going to school in New York for four years and living in North Carolina for one, I had almost forgotten about the 30 second installments of sensual raspiness that Norton Furniture treats Northeastern Ohioans. Mark got himself back on my radar last night in a BIG way. His advocacy of Taco Bell’s new Quesalupa was the only Super Bowl commercial that got the rewind button some action at our party (Mashable explains their whole marketing campaign here. Spoiler alert, it’s genius.)

So in honor of your boy finally getting his cup of coffee in the advertising big leagues, we’ve power ranked his top 5 performances of all time.

5. “The Candidate

4. “Super Hero”

3. “Let the man live!”

2. “Frog on a couch and guy with hedge clippers”

1. “Labor”

Joey Bosa has a message for Jim Harbaugh… “Sorry”

“Hey Jim, Joey here. #97 if you forgot…”

Sorry for stomping you 42-13 in the Big House. Sorry for such a rude introduction to your Ohio State-Michigan coaching rivalry. Sorry for eating Jake Rudock for lunch time after time off the edge and intercepting his backup with one hand. Sorry for 4 straight victories over Michigan. Sorry I’ll be the number one pick in the draft.”

“I’m not that sorry, really”

*chugs Gatorade*

If you remember a few months ago Joey also posted this Instagram picture of him and Jake Rudock (former high school teammates) with the caption “Sorry Jake.”

I think “Sorry” may be becoming the new ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He also got to hang with Adriana Lima. Nice couple of days for #97, I’d say.
