Since ESPN is airing its self-serving “Best of ‘This is SportsCenter'” tonight, I figured I would actually give you some of my favorites. I have to admit, this is a very good ad campaign and while I have an affinity for the older ads, the new ones are very good as well.
Rookie Hazing – Dan Patrick and Karl Ravech play tricks on rookie anchor, Larry Beil.
International Editions – Dan Patrick & Kenny Mayne do international versions of SportsCenter.
Shue for Steiner – SportsCenter trades Charley Steiner for Melrose Place’s Andrew Shue. Great ad.
Maria Sharapova – Stuart Scott plays a practical joke on Maria.
Bill Bradley – Bob Ley and Keith Olbermann interview former US Senator Bill Bradley for a SportsCenter anchor.
Craig Kilborn’s Assistant – The trials and tribulations of being a SportsCenter assistant.
Y2K – My favorite ad of the series. Featuring Charley Steiner, this is about a Y2K test at the Worldwide Leader. Charley at the end is classic.
