See?
Its an awesome harmless ad campaign about changing history. If you guys can have one, why can't Matt?
Matt can have all the commercials he want...
I'll just continue to make fun of him for it, which is also completely harmless.

It's been over a year now. Don't you get it yet? Leinart tried to rain on our parade and the BONers just aren't going to forget it. Let it go. It's not worth getting upset over.
the difference is...
it's not vince in the commercial. it's a fan (i assume...who is this guy?). vince isn't complaining (even in the joking manner that typifies these ads) that AP ruined his perfect season. he takes responsibility for his actions on the football field in a way that wouldn't fit well with this campaign.
and i like the ads generally. it's a good pitch to college football fans. but you'd just never see vince doing one of these "i can rewrite history" things. and he's on the cover of EA's NFL game too, so you know they wanted him to do it. that's the difference between him and leinart.
Lee Jennings?
Who is Lee Jennings?
?
that's what i was sayin, who is he?

Does Anybody Know?
His voice is kind of familiar, but I think he just sounds like Josh Charles, aka Dan Rydell from Sports Night.
AT FIRST
i thought it was mathew muhconehhey's voice (i don't know how to spell his last name)

meant to say something in the other post...
I absolutely cannot believe Matt Leinart agreed to do the commercial... I mean, he's a marketable guy, good-looking enough, seems personable, plays quarterback, and fairly well (despite some bitterness around Longhorn circles...), he should never have been desperate enough to say yes to this.
See, the Lee Jennings thing is fine, because, let's face it, if a fan comes off as someone who obsesses over a loss and replays it to a victory in his mom's basement, well... that's really ok. With NotQuiteAllDay, it's still not so bad, because the play he's doing over, he wasn't even on the field.
With Leinart... it just magnifies the fact that on the biggest play of his college career, he wasted precious seconds er, scrambling, I guess you'd call it, and eventually threw the ball away with no time remaining. Totally and completely unVince-like.
