Re: Worst (Best) athlete commercials
 

Jordan has a few good ones, but I really liked this one. Let Your Game Speak

Re: Worst (Best) athlete commercials
 

I liked that new Roger Clemens/dropped calls one.

Re: Worst (Best) athlete commercials
 

Andy Pettitte is dumb.

Re: Worst (Best) athlete commercials
 

"Chicks Dig the Long Ball" - probably the best of all time. I actually forgot how funny this was until I looked it up.

I really don't like Clemens or those Cingular ads ("The person on the other end isn't responding? THEY MUST HATE ME!!") at all, but great commercial.

Love Little Penny

Also, Jordan and Bird, nothing but net. Anything with Barkley, esp Right Guard commercials. Jean Van de Velde replaying 18 at Carnoustie with just a putter "I can make a 6, I can make a 6, I made a 6!"

Re: Worst (Best) athlete commercials
 

ESPN has a lot heres the Ortiz/Posada: ESPN

Re: Worst (Best) athlete commercials
 

Ortiz/Ehrlacher vs the Asian guys badminton Vitamin Water commercial is hilarious.

Also Ortiz spitting into his hand and then shaking hands with the joe average family at the ESPN offices is good.

yeah that was the first one that wasn't horrible

Re: Worst (Best) athlete commercials
 

Anyone have a link to the Roger Clemens dropped calls commercial?

I think that Jordan "Let Your Game Speak" is just so awesome.

There are a couple things in it that are hilarious now that weren't before.

"how long are they going to worship this guy?"

and the Billboard of McGwire that says "It really is the shoes"

Re: Worst (Best) athlete commercials
 

A ton of the ESPN commercials are hilarious imo.

Re: Worst (Best) athlete commercials
 

This is the best. Ever. [/thread]

Sorry, the sound quality is horrible -- just turn it up.

(RIP Iron Head)

Re: Worst (Best) athlete commercials
 

The SportsCenter commercials are great.

But none of them beat Manning's commercials. The guy is such a goober.

"Let's go insurances adjusters! Let's go!"

Re: Worst (Best) athlete commercials
 

This has got to be the best ever: Mean Joe Greene

I also loved the Air Jordan XII commercial.

This Tiger Woods commercial is still amazing too.

"Cut that meat!" is still my favorite Peyton Manning commercial.

Too many SportsCenter commercials to pick a favorite... maybe the Y2K glitch. "Follow me to freedom!"

Nike really had a thing for the overdramatic

I think this thread, but his return, has forced my hand into buying an old pair of Penny's

Re: Worst (Best) athlete commercials
 

These have always been my favorite, but I'm a sucker for anything Ghita does.

Re: Worst (Best) athlete commercials
 

The ESPN Y2K was definately one of the best.

Re: Worst (Best) athlete commercials
 

How about some love for the old Lite Beer from Miller commercials. Tastes great vs. less filling

Re: Worst (Best) athlete commercials
 

I'm a homer, obviously, but I think the Twins' marketing department is just hilarious.

Haha, I wish my Angels had local ads like that (at least there aren't that I know of).... the Santana/Cuddyer/Rincon was eh, but the Santana/Nathan one was hilarious.

couldn't find the oakland A's commercials i was looking for but i found these.

1981 Oakland A's Billy Ball commercial

Tim Hudson & Paul Konerko ESPN commercial

Re: Worst (Best) athlete commercials
 

Okay, this is random, but in watching that San Fran clip, I was given a link to this guy's video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8TjQt3_wMI&NR=1

I always wondered what the people were like that actually chill in McCovey Cove waiting for balls. This guy is really, really into it.

Then this is even more sad;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCGyg...ed&search=

"I am so excited, I'm gonna call my mom right now!"

Re: Worst (Best) athlete commercials
 

those are a bit disturbing

The first one was pretty good. The second one was lame.

Re: Worst (Best) athlete commercials
 

George Seifert, blaming it on the Bossa Nova. (can't find a link, this aired in the 90s back when the NFL started playing exhibition games in Japan. They had a bunch of players and coaches performing lousy karaoke in front of unimpressed Japanese people)

And coming up, a "Did You Know"...about sports.

I loved this commercial too. But, IIRC, they made another "Chicks dig the longball" commercial where a bunch of pitchers started to catch on, and the one part that I distinctly remember from that one was Randy Johnson giving it a shot at the end. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I am thinking of the same commercial series, right?

It's a shame they flopped so badly at the olympics.


And yes, the golden era of SC commercials was nothing short of awesome.
