Well yesterday was the big draft at my office- they’ll be more on that later. This week I wanted to share some awesome videos that I ran across during my draft prep this week.
It appears that for the past three years NFL.com and Reebok have been producing short little viral videos to help get some attention to their own fantasy football game. The videos feature NFL players performing feats of uber-athletics. It’s clear that the videos leave you wondering if what you say was real or fake- as someone who works in video I have to say that these videos can easily be fake. I have to say that all the discussion on if it’s real or fake accomplish the goal of getting the NFL.com name out there- but I wonder how many people have actually signed up to play their Fantasy Football game? One thing I can tell you is that these videos are very entertaining to watch- check them out!

Neil Rackers
I love Racker’s parting line, “You need a kicker right?” The kicker is the last kid in dodgeball when it comes to Fantasy Football- however I did pick him in today’s draft. Not because of the ad- but because he was one of the last kickers on the board.
Chris Simms
This one is hilarious because not only does he sounds like he’s 12- but he’s a terrible QB.
Braylon Edwards
He’s like The One.

Marques Colston
Mike Nugent
Andre Johnson
Jason Campbell
David Akers
Aw man it’s a tie between this one and the Rackers one for best kicker ad. I picked up Akers last year and he didn’t do too bad.
Marc Bulger
A lot of people say that this is another real one if not realistic looking. The whole ball flying off the screen is a total tell-tale sign for some post production work. I love how it sounds like he’s trying to convince us to draft him… well after a season like last you might have to.

Chris Cooley
This is the most badass thing I’ve ever seen.
Chris Chambers
So what do you think? Real? Fake? Just Awesome?
