Ryan Braun Is Living the Good Life

There are a lot of reasons for men to be jealous of Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun. First and foremost, there's the fact that he gets to play the game of baseball for a living while the rest of us can only watch it or play it on our XBox. Then there's the fact he gets paid money to do it, and a lot at that seeing as how he signed that eight year $45 million extension earlier this season.



As if those weren't enough, here's the final nail in the coffin. While we spend our days off from work doing running errands or watching crappy reality television, Ryan gets to spend his shooting commercials with Marisa Miller. God I hate Ryan Braun.
On a sun-dappled Friday on the baseball field behind Brookfield East High School, Braun took on what even he admitted beforehand might be a more daunting task: trading lines with supermodel and magazine cover girl Marisa Miller in a viral video for a new Remington men's hair-care product.

"Aren't you baseball all-star Ryan Braun?" Miller said to Braun as cameras rolled and a large crowd of technicians, actors, aides, associates, gofers, spectators and hangers-on stood by quietly from a safe distance.

"Aren't you supermodel Marisa Miller?" Braun answered smartly as he stood next to a fence holding the leash on his dog.
Wow, with that kind of writing this commercial has already wrapped up all the trophies on the Commerical Award Show circuit.

Seriously, though, I have to give Ryan some credit. He was at least able to say his line where as had I been the one Marisa was talking to, I wouldn't have been able to form a coherent sentence (and if you read me regularly, you're probably wondering how that's any different than any other time).

"Aren't you FanHouse blogger Tom Fornelli?"

"I like broccoli."

Then I would probably pee my pants. Hey, it worked on my last girlfriend.

If you're wondering where you can find the commercial once it's had the finishing touches put on it, it won't be on your television set. Nope, this is a viral video that's being made specifically for YouTube, so even if you don't live in Milwaukee, you'll be able to see it.

Now if you don't mind me, I'm going to go use my new Remington razor and shave while pretending to talk to Marisa Miller in my mirror. The life of a blogger sure is exciting.
