Cooley’s Fantasy File Commercial Is Lame
By Jamie Mottram | July 29, 2008
If I’m directing the Fantasy File commercial for Chris Cooley, I’m delivering something deserving of one of the NFL’s top personalities and pass-catching tight ends. Something like him snagging Jason Campbell laser beams with one hand while enjoying a beverage with the other. This is not that:
The problem is this is obviously fake, whereas those before it were at least somewhat realistic. Last year’s Campbell spot, for example, sparked a back-and-forth — between dumb people, at least — about whether or not it was real, and that’s why it was cool. It’s a shame, really, because Cooley’s a fantasy stallion, whereas pre-Zorn JC was a fantasy afterthought.
And I can’t believe I just criticized something Cooley-related. Sad but true.

It’s sad but true, commercial is lame. It should of included but not limited to: blogging, taking shots, silly outfits, cheerleaders all while he catches a TD.

As soon as Phil Simms kid got one of these spots, the street cred fell.
