Reds flame-throwing reliever Aroldis Chapman is from Cuba. Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday. That still didn’t stop Pepto Bismol from having Chapman film a Cinco de Mayo commercial for them. Check it out: I guess their message is not to …
This Danilo Gallinari take a sheet video is awesome for several reasons. One, it’s short and sweet, which is perfect for our fledgling attention spans. Two, it immediately grabs your attention with the “take a sheet” because that …
Kobe Bryant sure has come a long way since the days of Eagle, Colorado when he became an untouchable figure in the world of endorsement deals. Since then, he’s left Adidas for Nike and developed an entire Black Mamba brand, even starring in a …
As someone who calls Sandy Koufax my brother, I don’t understand what the fuss was about this commercial. In fact, I found it to be quite humorous. But apparently many Catholics complained about this proposed Doritos ad that could have run …
Oh, MLB. You never cease to amaze me. And you didn’t disappoint with your new ad featuring Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg. The new ad shows clips of MLB greats Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson and Nolan Ryan. You know, three pitching …
I guess when you have a $50 million P.R. budget to make things right for one of the biggest offshore oil spills the world has seen, you can afford a 60 second commercial during the NBA Finals on ABC. Whether or not BP was running the commercial to …
Guitar Hero has outdone itself once again. First they had the rockin commercial with Alex Rodriguez, Kobe Bryant, Michael Phelps, and Tony Hawk. And this time, as if the timing couldn’t be any better, they unveiled another star-studded …
I’ve been down with the Easterns Motors commercials since way back in the day, like dang, two freaking years ago when LBS was just in its infancy. I guess one of the benefits of satellite TV is getting to see all the local commercials outside …
It’s crazy the way things work. Just two nights ago I was having a conversation regarding LeBron James’ physique and athletic ability. Knowing that he was an All-State wide receiver in high school, I said LeBron would be an All-Pro if he …
One of the biggest gripes against Peyton Manning is that he’s the face of the NFL and overexposed. Honestly, you can watch football all day Sunday and see more of Peyton in commercials than of him on the field. Weird he finds that much time on …
There’s no doubt you can put a few athletes and big names together in a commercial and have it be a success. That by no means is a rule as we’ve come to find out. Take for instance this highly anticipated, online-only commercial for …
I’d read a lot about an upcoming commercial promoting the video game Guitar Hero that featured star athletes Alex Rodriguez, Kobe Bryant, Michael Phelps, and Tony Hawk, but I’d never actually seen it until now. And let me say, it’s …
I don’t know about you, but I certainly am getting sick of seeing those split-face commercials promoting the NBA playoffs. Something about there can only be one winner. Right? Well we all know that Baron Davis didn’t make his way into the …
In case you haven’t seen it yet (don’t worry, only about 97 million have), Reebok released a commercial immediately after the Giants won the Super Bowl starring the ’72 Dolphins. It was a great commercial showing the Dolphins …
Since he’s out for the season with knee surgery, he sure has a lot of time on his hands and ESPN the Magazine decided to wrangle the budding star for a commercial shoot promoting his appearance on the magazine’s cover recently. Though the …
I’m not exactly sure what it is. Maybe it’s for the same reason people like seeing footage of their favorite athletes playing ball in the backyard when they were kids. Maybe it’s the way it tells the journey through the basketball …
