Ad Crazy

I think we can all agree that the best ads on television over the last decade have been for Nike and ESPN's "Sportscenter." Nike's clips are always eye-catching, clever mini-films. Sportscenter ads are consistently hilarious and they make great use of athletes, who normally stink up the screen when forced to be actors.

So my idea is this: Nike and ESPN should release DVDs of all their ads. Wouldn't it be great to have a copy of classic commercials like Spike Lee's "Mars Blackmon," Charles Barkley's "I am not a role model" and the March Madness "Bracketville" spots all on a single disc? You could probably fit 300 ads on one disc, and since they're all just sitting in a vault somewhere, why not? There are enough sports nuts out there to make this idea profitable. Anybody have the phone numbers for Chris Berman and Phil Knight?
