Rario's Sponsor

Everything in sports now is sponsored by something.  Comerica Park.  AT&T Trivia question.  Miller Lite Cold Blast.  Bell Tire Pitch by Pitch.  If you're a devote reader, you already know about JV's commercial ventures and if you watch even one Tiger game on FSN, you already know that Rod has done a couple Ace Hardware commercials.  But so far, no one has come forward to sponsor the broadcasting team of Rario.  Well, I have a suggestion.  Last night while falling asleep to the Dan Patrick Show, I saw an infomercial for SlimT.
Basically, it's a girdle (or spanx) for men.  I mean, women have been doing this for hundreds of years, so really it's about time.  I also wasn't surprised that I hadn't seen this infomercial until I was watching late night sports TV.  I definitely never saw this commercial on the Hallmark Channel.

I will just put this little disclaimer.  Don't give up guys!  Keep doing those sit ups!  However, since women do the same thing, I guess I can't complain.  Just be aware that at some point, your clothes will come off in front of the ladies.  Just saying.  It'd be creepy to keep the SlimT on all the time.

If you haven't put two and two together by now, let me do the math for you.  SlimT is the natural sponsor for Rario.  They are OBSESSED with their weight and what they eat.  In fact, I feel like they could incorporate it right into the broadcast.  For example:

Mario: And a pop up to the 2nd baseman and Raburn is retired.
Rod: I see another trip down I75 in his future.
Mario: Right you are.  You know, Toledo has a really delicious restaurant with authentic Ohio food.
Rod: Really?!  I'll have to hit that up with my Road Dawg the next time we are down there.
Mario:  I could go.
Rod: No no, John Keating is the man.
Mario: Good point. Well, I do have something you and Keating could use after that Ohio soul food meal.
Rod: What's that partner?
Mario: It's the SlimT, for looking good when you don't have time to hit the gym like you should.  Guaranteed to drop two pants sizes, instantly!  Who doesn't need that?
Rod: Tom Brookens.  That man is fit.
Mario: No doubt.  In fact, I think I'll go online and order one now.
Rod: Oh I'm already wearing one.
Mario: You are?
Rod: Without question.  Take a look.
Mario: Looking good.
Rod: Oh for sure.  SlimT, man up and get one.  And now let's throw it back to the Call Sam Studios to check out C-Mo in his SlimT.


Now that's a piece of cheese.
