To be honest, I remember the Micheal Jordan and Larry Bird ad for McDonalds in 1994. I really did like that commercial. Although I could not find the footage, I recall it was a basketball game of pig or horse because they were comparing shots. But, I did find the following interesting.
Pepsi is planning to run a minute long silent commercial in the pregame portion of the superbowl. According to the Associated Press, the ad originated as a joke and is ultimately raising awareness for the deaf community. I think that this will be very interesting and I am curious to see how the media reacts to this form of advertising.

I am absolutely appalled by the attention and anticipation these commercials have gathered. It is like the Emmys for marketeers around the globe. The only thing more astounding than the "sneak peeks" to COMMERCIALS is the ($85,ooo per second that is paid to gain a spot).

yes - the NFL is all about capitalism at is most American extreme; I still enjoy it, but not like college football. But boy, Brandy, have you seen the models for the new Colts stadium? wow! I know you are a Colts fan (me too)
