I like how the new ones feature a lot more humor..not that lil penny wasn't funny. Peyton gets it for me, the funniest one is the one where he's a fan of the grocery guy..the mailman...etc..thats hilarious.

KG isn't an option? That's criminal. This is supposed to be a Celtics blog. The man doesn't know how to make a bad commercial.

Terrible Terry Tate is about as professional as they come when it comes to bringin the pain. He's still making new commercials.

How can one create a poll with no mention of Primetime Neon Deion Sanders! His Nike commercials were awesome also. Especially the 1 with Jerry Jones saying if he had 11 DEIONS on the field at once he could rule the world. How could Sanders be left out?

what if the other team decided to run a sweep though?

oppsing RB's would average 25 yards a carry vs the all primetimes :D

Sorry, I voted MJ before I saw Larry's name.

That said, in terms of commercial athletes, MJ is difficult to beat due to his success, ability and personality; and to be fair he popped into my head as soon as I saw the thread title.
