This is Sportscenter

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

I’m not one to give love to commercials.  I hate commercials.  Even if there’s an obvious need for commercials (how else would our favorite shows stay on tv?)…I still despise them.  And with tivos and the emergence of hulu.com as well as other sites - the commercial can almost be ignored now.

BUT - I love commercials by ESPN.  In particular, I love the “This is Sportscenter” commercials.  I like them so much that I made my own in high school.  I’m hoping to dig that up sometime this week and put it up for the world to see.  But not now.

The marketing campaign for Sportscenter borders on genius.  So for the next few days I will post my favorite Sportscenter commercials and then, hopefully, post my own.  This should keep me busy since there is no LOST this week.

Let me know which are you favorites…

The New Kid - 1997
Obviously based on the parody of a young kid leaving college to early or jumping to the pros from high school.

The Closer - Year Unknown
Parody on baseball’s closer

George Muresan Dancing - 1997
7′ 7″ people dancing is always funny

WHAT I WOULDN’T GIVE TO SIT AROUND ALL DAY AND COME UP WITH BRILLIANT IDEAS LIKE THIS!!!
