Budweiser Super Bowl commercial stars young Clydesdale foal
In a new Budweiser Clydesdales Super Bowl commercial, a foal finds a way to help after being left behind by the rest of the Clydesdales.
John Kaczmarek's business, Carleton Hotel Bar, can be seen in the 2025 Budweiser Super Bowl commercial.
Kaczmarek is excited about the national exposure for his business and the town of Carleton.
Surrounded by family and friends, it's a sure bet John Kaczmarek will be watching 2025's Super Bowl LIX.
While rooting for his favorite football team, Kaczmarek will be watching for this year's Budweiser Super Bowl commercial. His business, Carleton Hotel Bar in Carleton, Michigan, will be making an appearance in this year's Budweiser commercial, called 'First Delivery."
Located at 927 Monroe St., the modest business informed the community on its Facebook page, posting 'The hotel made it in the Budweiser Super Bowl commercial.'
For more than 17 years, Kaczmarek has owned the neighborhood bar known for its burgers and steaks. Patrons gather to watch sports on TV, play pool and sing karaoke. It offers dine-in specials like every Tuesday features a classic burger and fries and music bingo is every Sunday from 6-8 p.m. except Super Bowl Sunday when they will be hosting a watch party beginning at 6 p.m.
Super Bowl LIX: Merchandise and ticket scams may be out there, AG warns
'I found out from one of my customers,' Kaczmarek said. 'There's a place where you can go and get drone coverage for free. If you go to that website they show different pictures of Carleton. One coming one way and one coming the other way. It just happened that Budweiser picked that one up out of all the places.'
The Carleton resident said that same footage found on Shutterstock.com is used in a Trump ad.
'Shutterstock has all this footage of an early morning aerial view on Monroe Street,' he said. 'And that's what they both used.'
Being in the national spotlight, even for a brief moment, is exciting to Kaczmarek.
'But I'm more excited for Carleton,' he said. 'I love the advertising for Carleton.'
According to the marketing department at Budweiser USA, the commercial was directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker and Emmy Award-winning commercial director Henry Alex Rubin and created by FCB New York.

Deion Sanders Shoe Style Through the Years [PHOTOS]
In 2023, Deion Sanders, along with Allen Iverson and Derek Jeter, were the first trio of athletes to be inducted into The GQ Sports Style Hall of Fame—and for good reason. Sanders has been the definition of flashy and cool, bringing a blend of flyness, style and confidence that had yet to be seen in the NFL. From the dollar sign earrings the football star wore during Draft Day in 1989 to his own signature Nike sneaker in 1993, Sanders' influence on football expanded way beyond the field. His sense of style also shined through during games and inspired other players, while his penchant for sparkling jewelry—from stacked gold chains and bracelets to diamond rings—was passed down across the league and continues to be on full display with present day athletes. Sanders played in the NFL for 14 seasons, as well as an additional nine seasons of Major League Baseball with several teams. He won two Super Bowl titles and made one World Series appearance in 1992, making him the only athlete to play in a Super Bowl and a World Series. When he was playing both football and baseball for the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta Braves in 1992, Sanders also signed his first contract with Nike. He released his first signature sneaker—the Air Diamond Turf—the following year. The sneakers and cleats continue to be fan favorites and lauded as one of the best as far as design and style among athletes. He parted ways with Nike at one point and signed with Under Armour in 2009, before reuniting with Nike in 2023 when he became the University of Colorado's football head coach.

Yet he still carries a sense of flair, coolness and sophistication, and that same confidence that made him an overnight star all those years ago. Now that his son Shedeur Sanders has been drafted into the NFL, all eyes are on the Sanders family. Take a look back at some of Sanders' best red carpet moments, his best designer footwear choices and some of his most standout coaching looks over the years.

Patrick Mahomes Left Speechless by $275 Million Announcement
Patrick Mahomes Left Speechless by $275 Million Announcement originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is best known for being one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, and is in hot pursuit of adding to his collection of three Super Bowl titles. Advertisement While football is his main focus, Mahomes has also been involved in a handful of business ventures off the field. Whether it is donating $5 million to his alma mater Texas Tech, for the program's South End Zone project, or buying a stake in multiple professional sports teams, Mahomes has been quite active when it comes to his off-field ventures. On Tuesday, one of the investments that he and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, made in the National Women's Soccer League's Kansas City Current, saw a major development. As revealed by Forbes, the club is now valued at $275 million, the second-highest valuation throughout the NWSL. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Miron-Imagn Images The Mahomes couple first got involved with the club, which is currently atop the NWSL table with a record of 8-0-2, back in 2023, according to The Athletic. Advertisement The move made him the first active NFL player to have equity in an NWSL club, with his ownership group also featuring two-time Super Bowl-winning defensive lineman Chris Long. Following the revelation of the news, Mahomes took to Instagram to spread the word of the club's tremendous accomplishment. Patrick Mahomes reacts to Forbes' valuation of the Kansas City In addition to having the second-highest valuation in the league, the Current also generated the highest revenue in the NSWL, according to Forbes. With the Chiefs frequently in contention, the Royals in the mix in the American League Wild Card race and the Current leading the way in the NWSL, it seems like the perfect time to be a Kansas City Fan to say the least.

Rock and Roll Yard Sale finds new home in Providence's West End
PROVIDENCE (WPRI) — Providence's beloved Rock and Roll Yard Sale, an open-air market and neighborhood block party, will return this Saturday in the city's West End. The event will be held from noon to 5 p.m. on West Fountain Street, with new sponsors Moniker Brewery and the West Broadway Neighborhood Association. It will feature live music, food, vintage dealers, records, and other interesting creations from local makers. 'It should be fun. It's a unique event,' Jennifer Daltry told 12 News. 'There are a lot of events that are either vintage focused or makers focused, and ours kind of has a good mix of all of it.' Organizers Chris and Jennifer Daltry, who own the online retail shop What Cheer? Records + Vintage, have been putting on the event since 2003. 'We were just thinking about how there really isn't anything like this in Providence, and maybe we could create something like this,' Jennifer Daltry said. PVDFest returns Sept. 5-6: Here's what's in store Over the past 22 years, they've seen the event go from humble beginnings at AS220 to its most recent incarnation on Westminster Street that annually drew thousands to downtown Providence. Earlier this year, the Rock and Roll Yard Sale appeared to be in jeopardy after the couple learned that the event's main sponsor no longer wanted to support it. They credit a social media post highlighting their dilemma with bringing them both a new sponsor and a new neighborhood to embrace. 'People reached out, including Moniker,' Jennifer Daltry said. 'We started to have meetings with Moniker. They brought in West Broadway Neighborhood Association, and it grew from there.' 'It's been a really good collaboration this time around with the West Broadway Neighborhood Association stepping in to help out and create kind of a neighborhood party,' Chris Daltry said. 'It feels like a good fit.' You can find more information about the Rock and Roll Yard Sale both on Facebook and Instagram. Download the and apps to get breaking news and weather alerts.
