New England Patriots fans won't have the opportunity to watch their team play in Super Bowl LIV on Feb. 2, but they will see a Boston sports legend on their televisions.
Former Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz is going to star in Hyundai's Super Bowl commercial. In the ad, Ortiz works on his Boston accent, and that, of course, means dropping his "R's".
