Whatever you say Kenny

Jack Curry of the New York Times profiles Cleveland outfielder Kenny Lofton and asks him about the frequently-aired DHL commercial which shows Lofton moving all around the country.

Lofton says:

“I looked at it as they’re just showing this guy has been all over the place,” Lofton said. “The worst part about it, I mean, not the worst part about it. But the bad thing, or not the bad thing, but it’s true. That’s what makes it not a bad thing. I mean, shoot, I’ve been all over the dang place.”

Sounds like he's kinda-sorta mad, but not really.

"The worst part about it, I mean, not the worst part about it. But the bad thing, or not the bad thing, but it's true. That's what makes it not a bad thing."

I am so confused.

When I first saw the commercial, I thought "Gee, Kenny Lofton is a saavy guy. He got a commercial endorsement for himself even though he isn't a marquee player, and it's a clever commercial, too."

I'm kind of disappointed.

Apparently, Lofton has his own production company (i remember seeing a piece about it on DodgersONDEMAND last year).

I think the "worst/bad" part about the ad is that he winds up in Japan. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but didnt Grabowski wind up in Japan? ;D

Just incoherent, that's all.
