Are you ready for some football? The first Madden 2003 commercial to debut during this years NFL Draft!
EPSN.com is hosting an in depth player diary on University of Hawaii wide receiver Ashley Lelie. In the special, he wrote about being filmed for a Madden 2003 commercial which will air on ESPN during the weekend of April 20-21. Here's what he had to say....
Last week, I filmed this EA Sports TV commercial with some of the other top picks. Joey Harrington, Roy Williams and Bryant McKinnie were all there, among others. The commercial was for Madden 2003 and it taught me a lesson: I have no acting skills at all. None. Harrington was a natural. And McKinnie was pretty funny. But I had no skills.
During the shoot, they filmed us asking Madden if we're worthy to be in the game, which was a little strange because most of us play all the time. Then we had all this position specific stuff, with me talking trash about DBs, and DBs like Roy Williams talking smack about receivers. The spot is supposed to air during the draft and all that weekend during SportsCenter, so it will be interesting to see how it turned out.
Whether there will be in-game footage shown is still unknown. Either way, for anyone dying for pre-season to begin (just a couple more months folks), there's a nice little EA sports teaser coming you way in under 10 days.
