A Humble Hollywood Executive.

Tom Werner! I haven't flipped on NESN in awhile and in all likelihood won't turn it on again until February but have I got a pitch for you!

You should create a travel show starring David Ortiz (after he retires, of course) wherein he traipses all over the world in his over-the-top glory. He could go all sorts of new and interesting places and meet new and interesting people, sort of an Amazing Race but more authentic and without the race. Expensive? Absolutely. But, I would watch every episode.

Call me. We'll have coffee.

I'd be fascinated to know what the Italians make of David Ortiz. Everything about the way David presents himself screams American stereotype: he's loud, he's wearing a t-shirt and a baseball cap (luckily, they wouldn't know that it's got his own picture on it), he's a giant man, and he's got diamonds in his ears. But he's black. They're probably terrified of him, undoubtedly a drug dealer on vacation. I bet even the pickpockets stay away.
