Sunday afternoon's matchup between the Penguins and Capitals at the Verizon Center had one interesting spectator in the front row. The GEICO Cavemen was taking in the action and, according to Ted Starkey, was downstairs surrounded by attractive females after the game. Ah yes, it's good to be a celebrity spokesman, er, spokesperson... I mean, spokescaveman... Whatever.
There is only one thing for us to do with this photo -- caption it. Give it your best shot. I'll start us off ... "Upon being discovered in the forests of West Virginia after a decade away from civilization, the Capitals decided the least they could do for Al Iafrate was to give him a brand new jersey and front row seats."
He'll put you in the wall, wreck your cart at the supermarket, and wreck your motorized boat. And he's easily one of the most-recognized drivers on NASCAR TV right now.
Yes, I'm talking about GEICO's newest pitch man who doesn't pitch the product at all, Lauren Wallace. First, for a video refresher:
I know that Lauren Wallace has made his way into my Top-5 driver list (who couldn't resist cheering for a driver that says "Lauren Wallace is made of lightning!") but unfortunately the Richmond Times-Dispatch has revealed that Lauren is just an actor. Sigh.
The toughest, coolest, most ruthlessly ambitious driver in motorsports was born in Richmond, resides in Chicago, doesn't have a driver's license and is more familiar with the nuances of Hamlet than those of Denny Hamlin.
