Bobby Hurley Dove commercial
Bobby Hurley is in a Dove commercial and I couldn't help but think there were possibly some shots at the Fab5 doc in it, though most likely accidentally.
Anyone else see the commercial?
He's talking throughout the commercial about what he had to overcome and what made him a winner and then at the end he says "I'm Bobby Hurley, and I'm comfortable in my own skin."
If i'm not mistaken there was something in the doc referencing Webber "never being comfortable in his own skin"
Could be a total coincidence. I found it amusing either way.
Oh yeah, and F U you little prick.
I saw this too. This is Doves marketing slogan. Very ironic about the release date of his commercial.
No amount of Dove can get that rat weasel clean.
I love Bobby Hurley. C'mon fellas. You can admit it. Hate Laettner. Hate Grant HIll. Hate Thomas Hill. But can't hate on Bobby.

I hate Bobby Hurley. There. That wasn't so bad. Very cathartic, in fact.
Seriously. I was at the Duke-UM game @ Crisler during the Fab Five's frosh year. The atmosphere was beyond electric. And the Dookies were beyond spiteful. Never had I hated a team more than that Duke squad. And Hurley was the ringleader.
I will never use Dove (never have, and now I never will).

I hated Hurley when he was at Duke, but I stopped after he suffered that awful motorcycle accident that pretty much ended his career. You don't want to see that happen to anyone.
March 15th, 2011 at 11:30 PM ^
Yeah, totally forgot about the horrible accident. How 'bout if I mature a little and say that I hated him on the court while at Duke? Like the Fab Five documentary made painfully clear, everyone thought Duke was soft...a bunch of pampered prima-donnas. But I have to begrudgingly give him kudos for being a tough little bastard on the court.
I'm still not buying Dove, though. :)
Wouldn't have been nearly as awful if he had been wearing his seatbelt.

You should be pleased with yourself.

I hated Duke with a passion and have to say Bobby Hurley more so than anybody. I played PG my whole life and still hated this ugly weasel dick master splinter fuck. 'Overrated Pussy' was a close 2nd.
I'll give him credit that he was a tough son of a bitch & had skills, but doesn't mean I can't hate him.
For the record, if Jalen went to Duke he would have had his job before end of his Freshman year

Your embedding skills and subject line skills are better than mine.

just remember to swith to the plain text editor below the comment box and copy the embed code, not the url next time.
I have nothing for the subject line, it's just talent

I do all that and then I press preview and I use Chrome and it always goes to a server error page so I can't see what I'm submitting and I get nervous because I think oh no what if i'm just posting a reply full of code I'm going to look like an idiot and be ridiculed in front of all my online friends so I generally just post the youtube link since it goes to a lightbox thing anyway and I avoid posting images altogether which really sucks because I feel like I have some damn good images to contribute but I might as well hold back until the easier style comes back and is Tracy Wolfson 4'10" or what?
March 15th, 2011 at 10:47 PM ^
I use Chrome as well and rarely have an issue, especially with copy and pasting a embed.
There are not any issues I am aware of that has hindered the posting of pictures. Just drop the url into the proper box under the image tab...
Come on, try it, give us a good image

I didn't really see it as a dig on the Fab 5. I hated Hurley when he was at NC too. But now he's an old person, and I'm shooting for old person status too. I generally stop hating players when they get to the pros, unless they're especially douchey.
The only thing in the universe whiter than Hurley is Dove soap. Coincidence? I think not.
March 15th, 2011 at 10:10 PM ^
Unless he filmed the commercial within the last 48 hours, it's just a coincidence he said that.

on March 11th...

Magic Johnson and John Tompson III say the same catch phrase in their Dove commercials, "I'm comfortable in my own skin." I really doubt Dove came up with this elaborate scheme to take a shot at the fab five.

I have a crystal clear memory of that. After the game and more than 2 hours of the typical fawning over Hurley and Duke they asked Krzyzewski
what Bobby said before he had to leave the bench. Krzyzewski, in all of his pale splendor, repeats Bobby's words (as I remember them) "coach, I have to go the locker room, I have diarrhea." It still makes me laugh. The interviewer so much wanted to hear something else, like both of his ankles were broken and he got that.

pooper.

I don't think it has anything to do with it. I don't hate the guy I'm indifferent towards him. I've met his kid so I don't want to randomly hate their dad. But I do agree with the Fab Five.
March 15th, 2011 at 11:55 PM ^
just like I do anything related to Duke (and Notre Dame and TUOS).
March 16th, 2011 at 12:29 AM ^
I doubt the ad had anything to do with taking a jab at the fab 5. You are just looking into to it too much. I doubt Hurley sits around trying to come up with way to take shots at the fab 5. He's moved on I'm sure.
March 16th, 2011 at 12:56 AM ^
I'm just going to pretend it was a jab at the Fab Five so I can continue to justify my hatred for that little prick
I'm already sick of all of them. I'm looking forward to not having to watch that network anymore.
Bobby Hurley was on the Dan Patrick radio show earlier this week (at least, that's when I heard it). Patrick was asking him all sorts of questions about the Fab Five documentary and Hurley had quite a bit to say actually. Among other things, he said they didn't recruit Jalen Rose b/c he would've been stuck on the bench anyway. Said they would've loved to have Webber. I can't blame the guy for standing up and talking some smack but I hated him while he was at Duke also. I do feel bad about his accident and what he probably went through, but he's on his feet and assistant coaching so good for him I guess.
