Re: Local athletes in local commercials
Yeah, this happens everywhere.
When I lived in Minneapolis, the U of MN hockey and basketball coaches (Clem Haskins at the time) did some dumb ass commercials. Al Skinner of Boston College does ads for a men's clothing store in Boston that are often high on the unintentional comedy scale. Hell, Dick Vermeil still does commercials in Philly, and he hasn't coached there in close to 25 years.
However, Baltimore does seem to have more of this, though, with a wider cast. Cal Ripken would be doing commercials if he played in any town. But Heap, Ogden, and Lewis?
Just the idea of Ray Lewis doing commercials for a law firm makes me giggle.
