Best Football Commercial/One of the Best Commercials EVER...

So, its football time again. I decided to start the ol' tradition again of inviting my in-laws over for lil' smokies and some chips and dip. They are Dolphins fans and the Dolphins didn't disappoint. (In the sense that tradition is for them to lose so the in-laws can say, "It's only one game" and go about their Sunday afternoon).

But during the Peyton Manning commercials and commentary from what's his face in a white suit, pink shirt, green tie combination from the Christopher Lowell collection at Sears a commercial appeared from the haze. A commercial that was so cinematicaly stunning and serene it drove me to commend it in print for all seven of you to see. Without further ado, lights, camera, ACTION....



After seeing this mini-movie, if you will, I realized that no mere mortal could have created it... or at least no guy that makes a living making commercials. After further investigation I found out that it was a new ad line directed by Michael Mann, from whose mind gems like The Last of the Mohicans, Collateral, Heat, The Insider, and many more were brought forth. (The music is from the aforementioned, The Last of the Mohicans.)

Watch it. Absorb it. Watch it again. In the words of James Lipton, as portrayed by Will Ferrell and changed to fit the occasion by me, "On September 9th, Two Thousand and Seven, Magic was born."

Fin.
