“Everything you always wanted in a beer…and less.”

Happy Mother’s Day! Let’s celebrate by knocking back two frosty, sports-oriented commercials for Miller Lite beer.

First, we have a February, 1977 spot with Pro Football Hall of Famer, Deacon Jones (d. June 03, 2013). Jones was best known for his defensive end work with the L.A. Rams and San Diego Chargers. Second, we check in with legendary Boston Celtics coach and president, Red Auerbach in a spot from February ’79.
