What the hell?



What the hell is this nonsense? What kind of crack addled mind would come up with this shit?

Now obviously this is all pre-snap visualization of what LT wishes he would do. Again, obviously, he is a phenomenal athlete, but against the Bears D? Give me a fucking break. The Bears defense will have to account for him on every down, to not do so would be insane. But to think for a second that LT would be able to impose his will on this team to the extent that he does in the commercial goes beyond mere insanity, that's a death wish. I guarantee come game day, LT will be on the ground with a Bear on top of him reminding him of this commercial, and I don't think they're going to be complimenting him.

A couple of other things that bug me about this commercial. Where the hell is the Chicago counterpart? Did Nike somehow forget that Chicago is a bigger market than San Diego? (Don't get started on the whole, "LA is right there without a football team." Listen to me people, LA sports fans are the worse fans in the world. If San Diego was smart, they wouldn't allow LA "fans" to root for them. Remember, these are the same people that started the wave.) Why go and piss off a huge segment of fans by shitting on their team?

Second, what the hell is Tommie Harris doing in this commercial? At the very least, I think you fire your agent over something like this. To his credit though, Tommie did have this to say:
“It was good being out there, but I wasn’t too enthused with the role they had me playing,” Harris said. “I was getting run over. Well, not me actually, but they had LaDainian looking like a superstar, which he is, but not against our defense.”
Hopefully he got a few licks in during filming, but seriously, have some pride man. Show some loyalty. I don't think you'd ever see Steve McMichael embarass himself like that in a commercial. Hmm...maybe that wasn't the best example.

I have no comments on the ridiculous LT commercial but the muffin thong rules.
