“Have You Called Your Mama Today?”

Happy Mother’s Day! Thanks to Mr. College Football, Tony Barnhart, we have this great video of the late Alabama football coach Paul “Bear” Bryant doing an ad for South Central Bell. He talks about taking time for family and has this great line, “Have you called your mama today? I sure wish I could call mine.” After seeing it, I picked up my phone and called my mom. I was going to so anyway, but the ad made me do it earlier.

So to all the moms including mine and my sisters who brought two nieces and a nephew into my life, Happy Mother’s Day. And here’s the ad produced by the legendary Birmingham agency, Luckie & Co.
