for commercial use only

The commercial I have chosen for this week's blog is a commercial for the NFL fantasy draft. My roommate and friends and I have been watching nonstop football over the last few days and this same commercial seems to come up pretty much every commercial break. It starts out with a quarterback starting a play with all the commotion and everything else going on. Then he starts the play and the running backs run and the wide receivers run to get open for the pass. The quarterback lets go of the ball and just from the motion it looks like the ball is going to go far. He lets it rip and the screen switches to just the ball in the air. The ball flies out of the stadium and way out in the open air. After that, the screen switches to a farmer in his barn with all the barn accessories and whatnot. You can see a glimpse of the football in the air coming straight towards the farmer. He sets down what he is holding and the ball falls right in his arms. Next, a kicker kicks a football and it also flies out of the stadium. At this point there are multiple balls in the open air all flying together. The screen switches and there are people catching the footballs left and right. A guy on a bike lets go of the handlebars and catches the ball, a woman drops her grocery bags and catches a football, people in the background are all catching footballs. Finally, a buy gets off a bus looking at his phone, looks up and catches a football right when he looks up. The screen goes down to the screen of his phone and it says something about the NFL fantasy football league.
I think this probably stays with me because of how ridiculous it really is that so many people would catch these balls perfectly, or that these balls have no way of going that far, or maybe just the fact that it was played so many times. Whatever the reasoning for me remembering it so well, it worked. So more props to the people who made the commercial. Thank you and have a pleasantly awesome week, weekend, and football Sunday.
