Arnold Palmer Commercial

This not an April 1st moment. The commercial for xarelto, with Mr. Palmer, caught my attention. Does anybody know, if he is undergoing a health problem?

It's a blood thinner. Kevin Nealon and the race car guy are also in the commercial.

Arnie is old. He's had a few medical issues - including a mild heart attack or something like that a year or two or three ago, IIRC. Was taken to the hospital.

The race car driver, Brian Vickers, is currently banned from NASCAR while he's on blood thinners because they worry he could bleed out in case there's a crash. I hope the kid made some good bank with the endorsement.

Why does he even have to appear on ad?   Isn't he super rich and old enough to retire for good?    I'd use that time (in studio, filming an ad) to spend more time with loved ones, and/or doing something in his bucket list.  But that's just me.

Yes, you're right, it most definitely is you .

Also, it's time to retire the phrase "bucket list."  The film with of the same name was so dreadful that every time I read the words I want to strangle a kitten.

And now for the worst post in the history of the internet:

Let's think outside the box and come up with a new phrase for bucket list.  That term has jumped the shark.  It'd be a win-win for everyone.

Arnie certainly does not need the money, but it is possible that his endorsement is genuine if it helped him out.
