Nike Commercial

The undisputed greatest commercial of all time has just been released by Nike. I'm sure that anyone reading this has lots of time on their hands, and probably watches lots of television like myself, so you probably have already seen this commercial. But, just in case you aren't a sports fan, you can watch the commercial right here:

Just check out the TV ad, it's sick. I don't think I will ever buy any of the specific products that they are hawking in this ad, but still, I love watching it. The athletes that they use in this ad are amazing, they use Brian Urlacher of the Chicago Bears of the NFL, Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers of the NFL, LaDainian Tomilnson of the San Diego Chargers of the NFL, Tori Hunter of the Minnesota Twins of MLB, Mariano Rivera of the New York Yankees of MLB, Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals of MLB. Now these specific athletes aren't my favorites, as a matter of fact I hate the Yankees and Mariano Rivera, but this commercial supersedes this hatred and manifests in LOVE. Nike out did themselves in this ad and I commend them. Actually, I only like two of the players in the ad, Albert Pujols and Brian Urlacher, the thing about those two is they are just quiet players who go about their business and do it in a dominating fashion. Pujols is the best all around right handed hitter in baseball and Urlacher is the best player on an awful team, as a middle linebacker, Urlacher is able to take over any football game and is in on almost every tackle on the defensive side of the ball. Those two players personify what sports should be all about, dominance without a brash ego overtaking their legacy. I salute those two players specifically, and all of the athletes in this ad, because in all reality, these players stay out of the headlines by keeping their mouths shut, and just going out on the field and performing.

I really dont see what the big deal with the commerical is. I think a better commerical is when this lady is beating a car with a stick non-stop and then is says mother nature can be rough on your car. That makes sense for car wax to protect against mother nature. Its funny because jokes are funny. Having a baseball player turn into a yak or a gazelle (I have trouble with them) isnt too impressive.

I respectfully disagree, I'm sure you understand why, well, mostly because I wrote the original post

Lol.... But dude, I gotta disagree too... First off that commercial was fucking scary. If I had a dream like that I'd probably wake up and realize that I had just shit myself. But then again, maybe that makes it great. I dunno, all I know is that most my nightmares aren't that scary.
