Are You Ready For Some Football? I am.

First Sunday of the NFL season and I am like a kid on Christmas morning. I actually woke up this morning and couldn't fall back to sleep. And helping me get all tingly for the big day, a new ad campaign by Nike -- Leave Nothing. I love the new TV spot with Shawn Merriman and Steven Jackson. It kind of has an NFL films vibe, but brings you in even closer. The spot, directed by Michael Mann is just a part of Nike's new campaign. They have a pretty cool interactive website too and will be launching print ads. Sadly though, Nike got one thing wrong...since their site is Flash I can't link directly to the high-res video and in fact I can't even link directly to any page except the home. Below is the YouTube version, but it really doesn't do this ad justice...so if you have the energy or the time check out Nike's Leave Nothing site and once you get through the intro click on the "see more action" button in the bottom left corner. I wish it was easier. Anyway, enjoy the ad and the start of the NFL season.

That commercial is awesome. It actually just aired a few mins ago and it gave me chills.

I couldn't believe I was doing it, but I REWOUND my DVR and watched it again.

Sooo awesome.

Do you know who the cinematographer was on the Leave Nothing ad? I can't seem to find it.
