C.J. Lee Spotted in Commercial - Life After Basketball
If anyone was watching ESPN in Michigan tonight, C.J. Lee was featured in a "Rick Snyder for Governor" commercial as the 2010 Ann Arbor SPARK Manager. He was not mentioned as a former Michigan basketball player (only as the SPARK Manager). He was always a dedicated student and earned his Master's degree from the Ford School of Public Policy.
Anyway, leaving the politics of it aside, it's always good to see former athletes making progress and using their Michigan education and leadership from athletics to accomplish great things outside of sports. Take note recruits, there really is a "Michigan Difference".
SPARK profile of C.J. Lee can be found here.

I knew CJ while he was at school here, and knew that he always took academics seriously. That's why he walked away from a scholarship at Manhattan to walk on here.
I'm very happy for CJ. Hopefully his career at Spark will flourish, or he will be able to gain a job in a potential Snyder administration (this is in no way a political endorsement or statement0. He's got a great attitude and is a great person to be around.

I saw this, too. It was real short. About the time I thought, "Hey, isn't that..." ... it was over.

True Story:
I was looking through a book about Christian history, and came across a picture of a bunch of prisoners in black and white stripes... as I was about to turn the page my Dad happened to catch a glance at the page. He pointed to one of the prisoners and said "That's you're great grandfather"...
Turns out he was arrested for poligamy

I'll need this in a larger, downloadable form for my desktop.

Is it just me, or can anybody else who's been involved in a pregnancy relate? Spotting has an entirely different meaning to me, now.

Yikes, I just researched that on the Google Machine. I am changing title now.

...spotting on the Google Machine. That's just freaking hilarious. I am literally laughing out loud.

Hey, I'm a young guy, I try and block that stuff out of my mind. They didn't teach us that stuff in college. And apparently I blocked out whatever I may have heard about it from high school health class.

It happens so fast it's almost subliminal.

That is really an odd add. Usually when ads bring in "cameo" appearances, they have multiple or they bring them in, in the middle of the commercial. That was just an odd way to end the commercial for me. And it was quick.

That is one of the creepiest political ads I've ever seen. Almost reminds me of this:
