Mean Mugging? Pelicans' Cousins, Dolphins' Suh Star In Comedic Foot Locker Spot

Pelicans C DeMarcus Cousins and Dolphins DT Ndamukong Suh star in a new commercial for Foot Locker that makes "fun of the perception that they are mean, dirty players," according to David Harten of the Louisville COURIER-JOURNAL. Cousins "doesn't have the nicest reputation around the NBA," and Suh has also "had similar issues on the gridiron." In the spot, Cousins and Suh "walk through a parking garage, airing their grievances about what people think of them, while unknowingly, and accidentally, not helping their cases with those around them." Harten: "At least you can start to add 'funny' to the list of things you can say about Boogie" (Louisville COURIER-JOURNAL, 8/10). In Miami, Adam Beasley writes Suh showed he is "not above having a bit of fun at his own expense." Beasley: "It's hilarious. Seriously" (MIAMI HERALD, 8/10).
