Re: Awesome Courtney Upshaw Commercial
Who the hell cares, the commercial was cool as shit and Upshaw is a beast who if he continues to improve will be another in a long line of steals that Ozzie has performed at draft time.

I agree. In time will go down as a very good draft pick.

@HoustonRaven @334Upshaw41 That's called 'movie magic' ... or commercial magic in this case. But the car wasn't stripped. Promise.

If the No1 draft pick rookie gets injured on a commercial the team would go crazy, it's surely in his contract not to anything that jeopardising his ability to play ball.
Bingo.

Anytime Courtney moves the car on his own it is either pushing it over in a way that even a smallish woman could (from it's side to it's back for example.)
So yea... simple camera trickery.
Double bingo.

Particularly as the Toyota in Upshaw's commercial would almost certainly have a lower center of gravity and therefore be harder to tip over. Thanks for the video though.
HR, I stand corrected.
Re: Awesome Courtney Upshaw Commercial
I thought I'd throw this back to the top with how well our Rookie has been doing. Hopefully he can keep it up and not hit any wall.
Re: Awesome Courtney Upshaw Commercial
I know a guy that can actually lift the back of a car off the ground. He is a roided out powerlifter though. lol

Nice to see the kid getting some ad $ whatever the case.
