New Nike commercial

[Texanne]

At least I think it's new, and I'd like to see it again. But I don't have the technology to capture it and of course I don't know when they're going to show it again. I've only seen it once -- this morning on ESPNews.

It's the ad that chronicles the lives of LaDanian Tomlinson and Troy Polamalu and features the "showdown in the graveyard" music from GBU. It was absolutly beautiful.

Is there anyplace that I can see this ad again, or do I have to just wait for it to run again?

Thank you. I am still backward when it comes to the you tube phenomenon.

 

[unpaintedhuffhines]

well, you go to youtube, type in NIke commercial, ladanian and it's there

it's really not that difficult

 

[HornBud]

unpainted, could break that down into not so technical terms, I'm having a hard time figuring out what you said.

 

[UTxOrange]

Get your metal horns up! m/
Another cool version...

 

[Texanne]

HornBud, there's no need for such sarcasm.

That is a very cool commercial. Nike is pretty good about that.

 

[Ampoliros]

Yeah, nike always has some pretty amazing commercials. The youtube link says this one was directed by david fincher. The only issue I see with it, is that you don't really grasp it's greatness until you've seen it a few times.

I really like the concept, though. All the years of playing and training, leading up to an epic collision that was fated to happen eventually.

... and the original scene from the movie: The Link

It's almost like they have a large budget or something for advertising.

Gotta love my fellow Horn, Eli Wallach!

meh

Nike has, by light years, the best commercials.
The Shawn Merriman/ Steven Jackson with the theme from last of the mohicans is another great one.
CP3 and the clock.
The recent MJ 'maybe' commercial was awesome.

 

[Lester Long]

David Fincher (Seven, Fight Club, etc) directed that. He did a good job

Whoops, just saw Ampoliros posted that.

If youtube is too complicated, try....NIKE

There are a bunch in there including Sanya Richards

 

[Texanne]

OK, Mr. Smart Guys, there is an old Nike commercial that I'd like to see again. It was shown back in the middle Seinfeld years.

It was done like a number in a musical comedy and featured baseball players against the owners. "We're ballplayers and we're okay ..."

Can anyone find THAT for me? I've searched for it myself several times but have been unsuccessful.

 

[Third Coast]

Love the Tomlinson/Polamalu commercial. Sorry, don't know about that old baseball one.

 

[orangeblack&gold]

I love everything about that damned commercial but one of the best parts is when those thug busses roll into the stadium.

The only thing about the commercial I didn't like was that they hip-hopped up the song. I know why they added the drum beat to it, but the original was perfect the way it was. Still it was a very good.
