Congrats to Joe Pytka who is about to be inducted into the Art Directors Club HOF. Well deserved. Just found this article about him. Check out the spot right under Madonna.

Joe never liked the “Nothing But Net” spot. Not until it was finished…and won the best Super Bowl ad of the year, that is. What he hated most about the spot was Michael Jordan’s wardrobe. I’ve got to admit it does suck. But, in the contract, MJ had could wear whatever he wanted. So he chose a piece of the Michael Jordan line of sportswear. What a shock! It obviously did not stand the test of time, or taste.
Looking forward to seeing Joe and Tara and Vincent and, hopefully, Austin on Thursday night. Hopefully, we’ll be drinking Nothing But Cristal.
