Video - Shawne Merriman, Steven Jackson Nike Ad

  This is a really nice ad, but Nike has felt such pressure they were forced to remove Merriman from the ad. I feel it was a job well done.

Chargers Lacking Bolt Of Passion
Published 10/3/2007 at Goal-Line Stand
... Nike commercial, where he is tearing through NFL defenses like a Lion through the jungle. Or just cue a few tapes of him from last season, where he is ragdolling offensive lineman en route to one of his 17 ferocious sacks of opposing quarterbacks. But for Merriman and his San Diego Chargers, that's all but an image. A picture of the past - of what was and no long of what is . None of that is part of their reality anymore. Just that like that commercial, the Chargers ...

Unless you're Peyton Manning, don't appear in national ads
Published 10/26/2007 by 100% Injury Rate at 100% Injury Rate
It's hard to miss Peyton Manning when you're watching TV. That's because he appears in an average of 3 ads per commercial break. That hasn't hurt the Colts at all because they're 7-0. But pretty much every other NFL star that's appeared in national TV ads this season has watched their team stink up the joint. Let's take a look: Stephen Jackson - Nike ad. Team record: 0-7 and got injured. Shawne Merriman - Nike ad. Team record 3-3. LaDainian Tomlinson - Vizio ad. Team record 3-3. Reggie Bush - Subway ad. Team record 2-4. Jason Taylor - A version of him appears in Manning's phone ad. Team record: ...

AGENT FIRES PLAYER?
Published 6/16/2008 by Mike Florio at ProFootballTalk.com
Usually, it’s the NFL player who fires the NFL agent, sometimes at the behest of another NFL agent who discreetly induces the change without leaving sufficient fingerprints to get himself punished by the NFLPA ( i.e. , taking out a full-page ad in SportsBusiness Journal stating, “I just stole [insert player name] from [insert agent name], and I liked it”). This time around, the agent reportedly initiated the move.  According to Liz Mullen of the aforementioned SportsBusiness Journal (Emmitt says, “You actually only mentioned it one time, not four”), Gary Uberstine has parted ways with Rams running back Steven Jackson. The move is unusual because Jackson ...

NFL Previews…Thank God This is Over, Part 8: NFC West
Published 8/1/2008 by spencer096 at Major League Jerk
The NFC West…or as I like to call it, “the division I watch the least because the teams usually suck and I hate the Seahawks and their games are on late and the late AFC games are infinitely better.”  So this division has the rep of being the worst in the NFL, but is that accurate?  Historically, yes, but, at least on ...

Wild World of Wednesday – August 27, 2008
Published 8 days ago by Apryl DeLancey (noreply@blogger.com) at Women Like Sports
NFL Football: So there are new rules again this year. I get a bit frustrated with the rule changes every year…just play football. At any rate, I was watching the replay of the Raiders v. Cardinals game (again) and came across one such rule change (actually just a wording change). This has to do with that “football move” thing about possession. Okay, it was subjective to start with and now they’re totally leaving it up to the referee? Huh? Maybe I’m missing something here. Incidental face masks are no more, making them all a 15-yard penalty. This is a good thing because twisting ...
