Recreating The Greatest Promos Ever: Fantasy Files
The old NFL.com Fantasy Files commercials are the greatest promos of all-time. Powerade had their bits with Michael Vick throwing it out of the stadium and LeBron hitting a full-court shot with regular form, but they had no staying power. Once these NFL.com ones dropped, it was game over. Not only because Fantasy Football was taking off at the time and because Powerade wasn't nearly the drink that Gatorade was. But it was a cool way to get to know the players. Some of them looked so good you had to ask yourself, "is that real?"
One of my favorite was Chris Simms. Not only because as a Buccaneers fan, he was my Quarterback, but this one I genuinely believed wasn't edited.
Well with the return of Fantasy Football Factory, I decided to have a little fun and bring back these suckers. This week, we're previewing Quarterbacks for the upcoming fantasy season, so I decided to relive that old Chris Simms video.
