NFL Great Commercials and Advertisements

Since before Red Grange, football and commercialism have been at the hip. Super Bowl Ads, ESPN commercials (John Clayton at his moms house is a personal favorite), Miller Lite Ads, etc.... here's a Bubba Smith and Dick Butkus commercial that aired September 2, 1984 during the Los Angeles Summer Olympics :

While Farrah definitely made the Noxema commercial, I'm going to go with Reebok's Terry Tate! I know, not an NFL great (or even player) but sill hilarious.

Terry Tate over Farrah? That's blasphemy!

While Farrah could sell anything, and I mean A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G .... That Terry Tate (aka former San Diego Chargers LB Speights) commercial is hilarious! Thanks for those.

Miller & Mean Joe, oh yeah those are classics. The Polamalu version of the Mean Joe commercial is cringe worthy.

Though not a football player, he's been a Seattle sportswriter for decades who primarily covers football for ESPN, John Clayton commercial:

I remember laughing out loud at this when first aired, still one of the best IMO.

Ken Strong at the Polo Grounds for Marlboro

Wow - nice Mike - the Ken Strong commercial even includes the game winning run. Now I think we need categories - for me, Best Drama is the Ken Strong one, but best comedy is the NFL referee one.

Training Table Bread, never heard of it. Not sure if I like any food product named after a sweaty massage apparatus, might as well call your company gym sock bread & yeast, but some good Tittle/NY Giants v. Packers footage...

Do you have a Bread Label with the Fischer logo on it, Carl?

No, but I think a lot of these bread companies were regionalized.

They were. So far I've identified:

Fischer Bread: NJ
Nabisco (NBC): Michigan
Junge Bread: Missouri

as the three I know distributed football bread labels. Any more you know of?

Sounds like you have it covered
