November 12, 2009Joe Greene to Receive Award (VIDEO)
Mean Joe Greene will finally receive an award for his classic coke commercial, awarded to him before the Steelers game this Sunday. Joe Greene will receive a Clio award, the award given each year to the best commercials and advertisements, for his role in one of the most famous TV ads ever, his legendary Coca-Cola ad where a young boy gives him a bottle of Coke, and then he tosses the kid his football jersey (whichc would now be a pretty sweet throwback jersey). The Clio was actually awarded 30 years ago when the ad first hit TV sets, but somehow Joe Greene never got his award, so the Clios are taking this opportunity to make things right on the thirtieth anniversary.

I have always thought that, that was one of the best commercials of all times. There should be more like that one. Congrats, Mr. Greene. Posted by: Sherman Carliles at November 12, 2009 5:19 PM A most deserving award, a little late, congradulation Mr. Greene. I met you at the DFW airport and you took time to talk with me. You really are the person you are in the commerical. Thank you Mr. Greene...Putz Posted by: Daputz at November 12, 2009 5:50 PM it would be really nice if the young boy would be on hand to see mr. greene as he is handed his award for the best commercial ever... i remember it well Posted by: Anonymous at November 12, 2009 6:02 PM The commercials shows how mean we really are. Everybody deep inside has that warn and fuzzy feeling. I've loved this commerical from first I saw it, 30 years ago. Posted by: Eddie Keith at November 12, 2009 6:13 PM You have to find the boy, too! Get busy... Posted by: Anonymous at November 12, 2009 6:34 PM You have to find the boy, too! Get busy... Posted by: RLA at November 12, 2009 6:35 PM Joe- This ranks right up there with " Brian's Song !!! Both of which caused me to shed a tear!!! Great Job !! Greater Role model !!!!!! Posted by: Robert M. Ballock at November 12, 2009 6:37 PM I am 69 years old & also saw original commercial it touched me then & still does. MR. GREEN you deserve to be called a hero,there is always someone watching. Posted by: charles penick at November 12, 2009 6:52 PM I am 72 & no longer an NFL fan, but that commercial shall be forever imbedded in my memory. Some of the beer com's of that era were nearly as entertaining but the Joe Greene/Coke com. stands out! Where has the imagination of the ad people gone???? Posted by: Roy Burger at November 12, 2009 8:22 PM I am 72 & no longer an NFL fan, but that commercial shall be forever imbedded in my memory. There were other great comm's from that era--namely some of the Lite beer commercials--but none matched the Joe Greene/Coke comm. Where have all those brilliant ad people gone??? Posted by: Roy Burger at November 12, 2009 8:30 PM I think you should find the boy...it wouldn't be the same without him standing next to MR. Greene.. the best commercial ever.. i remember it well... awsome man..pittsburgh,pa Posted by: Anonymous at November 12, 2009 10:25 PM This commercial has been one of my all time favorites. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could find the young actor who helped to pull it off and make it so memorable after all these years?
