Rejected NFL Sprint TV Ads


I'm sure that most of you have seen Sprint's Peyton Manning TV commercial. You know, the one where he's supposed to be incognito by sporting a pornstache, and says, "that guy's pretty good, if you like six five, 230 pound quarterbacks, laser rocket arm". Now do you remember? Good, though you're probably either laughing or extremely annoyed.

What some of you may not know is that there were other NFL athletes considered for additional Sprint commercials, but their actions made it impossible for them to be featured. So, here are the Top 5 Sprint NFL TV commercials that were never aired.

#5-Ricky Manning Jr.: "That guy's pretty good, if you like five nine, 190 pound cornerbacks, put an ass-whooping on any computer nerd."

#4-Antonio Bryant: "That guy's pretty good, if you like six two, 190 pound receivers, haulin' ass in their Lambo, requiring leather restraints in the cop car."

#3-Tank Johnson: "That guy's pretty good, if you like six three, 300 pound, defensive tackles, stockpiling enough unregistered weapons(some loaded) for the Apocalypse."

#2-Terrence Kiel: "That guy's pretty good, if you like five eleven, 200 pound safeties, shipping cough syrup through the mail for some of that lean."

#1-Chris Henry: "That guy's pretty good, if you like six four, 200 pound receivers, projectile vomiting during a traffic stop, flashing handguns, providing alcohol to minors, driving drunk, being in possession of marijuana."

It really is a shame that none of those made it to the airwaves.
