Submitted this to ESPN, but they responded saying they can't accept outside ideas...strange.

Sportscenter Commercial - Les Miles eating grass.

You could have a blind taste test set up for Coach Miles with samples from different fields...Tiger Stadium, Ben Hill Griffen, Bryant-Denny, etc...he nails them all of course. Other twists:
- Have one sample of artificial turf
- Or a MLB field...(old Yankee Stadium vs. New)
- VanPelt's backyard
- Maybe even some random stadium in Europe and when asked how he correctly guessed the one in Europe he responds that 'you can get anything on Ebay'.
- Last one he gets wrong and the surrounding cast members are stunned. It turns out to be Ohio State’s Field and he says that he didn’t get it correct because his face never touched the grass there…

Thought it was a good one…

This is a silly post, but i will roll with it. As long as you are doing the grass commercial, why not one like Saban and Little Debbies? Have him on the field with the gameday crew, Miles sneaks a piece of grass in his mouth, and act likes nothing happened. I know a weak idea.

You could have the Tiger Mascot looking through a window from the ESPN offices and Miles is eating the grass in a field nearby with a bunch of cows.

I know it rags on Miles, but I think he would go for it.

i think it would be hilarious. Miles is getting so much press now. I went to some other message boards last night in the big 12, and they all think les is one of a kind and have to tune in we he is either on the tv or lsu is playing.

We he wins, he is an eccentric genius

when he loses, he is a _______ (fill in the blank here)

Great idea on the commercial
maybe have him in 'the big house' spitting it out and saying it tastes sour.

I wouldn't be surprised if the "outside idea" suddenly became one of "their ideas"!

You should sue their asses when you invariably see this or something similar to this as an ESPN commercial.

They can't accept outside ideas my arse.

How about this- van pelt stops by miles espn cubicle to ask about lunch plans. Miles says no thanks packed my own. Cut to van pelt in the espn cafeteria and you can see miles outside through a window grabbing a handful of grass.

They just said that so they don't have to pay you for the idea. Like others have said, I wouldn't be surprised to see a modified version of your idea on tv next fall.

well done
