I need someone to explain to me what’s going on. Awhile back, Deion showed up on my television pitching something called Drivers Select. Deion stated in the commercial that he was rolling with Drivers Select, and he promised to take my credit from sub prime to prime time in no time. I thought it was a little sad that Deion, with whom I often play basketball, had sunk so low that he was having to wear an orange suit on TV and sell cars to people who couldn’t afford them. But the rent don’t pay itself. Man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do. And so forth.
But then this Sunday I was watching my favorite urban dance TV show, Dance Club 21, and I was a bit stunned to learn that it has been renamed Drivers Select Dance Club 21. And then, last night, I saw another Drivers Select commercial, this one featuring not only Deion but Jason Terry and most of the Mavericks, including, if I’m not mistaken, Jose Barea and Pops Mensah-Bonsu. (I guess this is what happens when you don’t have cable.)
So seems to me this Drivers Select outfit is not to be taken lightly. Here’s what I need to know: 1) Should I upgrade to a Hummer? 2) Where can I buy an orange suit? 3) Why do they keep returning the audition tapes I send to Drivers Select Dance Club 21?
