Mike Lowell Does Some Home Shopping
Jonathan Papelbon, Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz have all done their part and made the rounds in the Sox post-victory media maelstrom… and tonight it was Mike Lowell’s turn to take one for the team. Like Papelbon and Doug Mirabelli on QVC this past Wednesday, Mike appeared on the Home Shopping Network earlier this evening to hawk some Sox World Champions merchandise.
Surely this eclipses the MVP Award, the champagne celebrations and the victory parade through Boston as the highlight of Mike’s post-World Series activities.
To his credit, and unlike Papelbon and Mirabelli, Mike manages to keep a straight face and not dissolve into giggles when the outrageous prices of the merchandise are announced. And in the fifteen minutes of discussion with the HSN host, you really get to hear a lot from Lowell about the World Series, and his thoughts on his teammates and the MVP award.
Here’s the first video- the second half is after the jump.
And the second part:
Big thanks to Sarah Beth for alerting me to Mike’s appearance on TV, and even bigger thanks to Piney for the video heads-up!
I have just found out that Lowell and Papelbon have the same agent(Seth Levinson). Apparently, Levinson must have friends who work for these networks and feels bad for them, so he puts these guys on.
Lowell had a definite “Get me the fuck out of here” face on
It would be absolutely hilarious to see Josh Beckett on one of these stations. Guaranteed that within 10 minutes, he will have dropped the f-bomb and/or punched the host in the mouth.
