Local athletes in local commercials
 

Here in Baltimore we get a lot of commercials on TV with Ravens and Orioles players promoting local businesses, such as Todd Heap for some Hummer dealership, Ray Lewis for his law firm (pretty high on the unintentional comedy scale) and Jonathan Ogden doing this ridiculous car insurance commercial where he dances around with a bunch of women.

Is this common across the country? What are some other dumb commercials with guys from local teams in them?

Yeah. Down here in Atlanta we can't seem to stop getting Patriots commercials.

Don't get me started with the dumb John Elway commercials.
