re: My idea for a Sportscenter Commercial - Miles eating grass

This is an awesome idea.

this idea reminds me of br in late 70's; billy carter came to town and they had a beer tasting contest in parking lot of old southdown shopping area; john mahaffey, billy carter & other dignitaries sampled beer one hot april afternoon on a flatbed trailer; raucous crowd; when a german beer was sampled - billy carter said it tasted like "sh**" - mahaffey echoed the sentiment; i guess a similar snl-type skit or commercial w miles and grass samples would have some geographic appeal

Have SVP pull up to the parking lot and see that the grass lot needs to be mowed badly. He tells another anchor this and they say don't worry I know just the man. We then see the lot mowed down and the camera zoomed in on one last piece of grass. Les Miles picks it up and puts it in his mouth in front of SVP and says, "Have a great day!"

How about "I'm Busy"

You probably should have just posted your idea here instead of e-mailing it to them. Reason being they and you have a record of sending them this idea and if they use it they either have to compensate you in some way or you could sue them and use your e-mail as proof. If you had just stuck it on this site and any others like it they could have taken it without any obligations to you since it would be considered in the public domain.

i like it

and you know Les would be down for it...

Great Idea for a commerical. Got me to thinking that Les could do a commercial for John Deere tractors.


Les standing on the field as a John Deere tractor is cutting the field with. Camera pans pack to Les and he has a tear in his eye. The build up would be a group of great LSU victories in Tiger Stadium culminating with the CBS footage of Les eating the grass.

ChickfilA commercial-

There has to be something that could be done with the cows and Les.

ESPN doesnt do their own commercials. Wieden and Kennedy in Portland do them. Thats why they dont accept outside ideas.
