Cotton Fitzsimmons Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 While Ye Ole Cotton was working at his trade today, an idea for a new commercial occurred to him. It would be sponsored by Under Armor and it would also be socially motivated in an effort to keep the Bills in Buffalo. There would be a lot of thunder and lightning crashing about... it would be rainy like a son of a beach. Then the camera would focus to midfield at the Ralph... right dead center of the logo. There would be a group of Bills greats huddled around... Bruce, Kelly, Thurman, Andre, Tasker, Sestak, Kemp... and then Ye Ole' Cotton would be standing there sporting his sweater vest, arms raised to the heavens, and yelling "WE MUST PROTECT THIS HOOOOOUUUUUSSSSSE!!!!!" Just as Ye Ole' Cotton yells the tag line, camera zooms in on Tasker and he's pounding his fist going "yeah... YEAH!" in strong agreement with Ye Ole' Cotton. Right at that moment a football falls out of the sky and rolls to the feet of Ye Ole' Cotton. He picks it up, and with a white hot fury, charges for the goal line... but it's not that easy... for this 50 yard dash to pay dirt is lined with the greatest players the game has known. Cotton busts to the 45 and does a spin move on Butkus, alluding the first tackle. Then he sprints to the 38 and jukes Singletary. He trots to the 25 and hurdles Merriman (not that I think he's one of the greatest ever, but what commercial like this doesn't have Mr. Lights Out in it?)... just as Ye Ole' Cotton hurdles Merriman the camera zooms in on his wingtips and he's flying through the air. Then he gets down to the 5 and finds a trio of Mortensen, Wilfork, and Ted Rogers forming a seemingly larger than life wall, and they all chuckle in unison with an evil laugh. Just then, the play by play man calls out "looks like the jig is up!" So Ye Ole' Cotton drops his shoulder and knocks the terrible trio on their respective cans and charges into the endzone. Then the commercial fades out into a montage of Bills greatest moments, culminating with #5 hoisting the Lombardi Trophy (we obviously shot this commercial after we win it all), and the words appear "...A salute to the greatest fans in the world..."

Cotton Fitzsimmons Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 Wow you need some serious therapy. Humorous idiocies notwithstanding, the core concept is pretty good actually, could be an emotionally stirring presentation. Sweater vests, wingtips, Ye Ole Cotton being in the commercial, etc. is just for laughs. A little comic relief on the eve of gameday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Fitzsimmons Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 Ok... so Ye Ole Cotton's first idea for a save our Bills commercial flopped. But, as always I went back into the lab with a pen and a pad, and fixed it. It was a simple tweak at that, and I think now you all can appreciate the change. When it fades into the montage and "A salute to the greatest fans in the world..." we'll lay a track for "Talkin Proud" And just so we can capture the traditional "round" feel that Talkin Proud must be presented in, we'll get the members here at TSW to get together and record it. Mods will take the first leg, all pro's will take the second, rookies third, UDFA's will bring up the rear. Buffalo's got a spirit, talkin proud! TALKIN PROUD! Listen up, can you hear it, TALKIN PROUD! TALKIN PROUD! We're up and WALKIN' PROUD WALKIN' PROUD! etc. etc. we all know the cut So what do ya say? Are we all up for this task? Certainly it would keep the team in the Queen City where it belongs. It worked then and it'll work now in conjunction with Ye Ole Cotton's idea for the visuals on the commercial.
