And that is only the tip of the over-the-top-production iceberg . I'm not sure that 300 had this much going on camera-wise and that movie was insane. The most out there bit in the laundry list of bells & whistles for me is the following:
"Reggie Bush, the New Orleans Saints running back who has teamed up with Beckham in his first major endorsement deal of the summer, will be a guest during the coverage. ESPN will offer further coverage through its broadband service ESPN360 and its Soccernet.com website."
I love me some Reggie Bush but does anyone really need him giving commentary on soccer? Perhaps this is just a continuation of ESPN's new strategy of uninformed soccer punditry. Strategy or not, if showing up in an advert alongside Goldenballs is enough to get you a gig on ESPN then here's a list of people who are equally (un) qualified for the job that would make for better TV than our Reggie:
Sumo Wrestlers (Watch)
Sccoby Doo (Watch)
Rugby star Johnny Wilkinson (Watch)
Beyonce (Watch)
A germaphobic child (Watch)
Huns (Watch)
I'll go with the Huns just because they might be able to scare Rob Stone into not getting so damned excited and screaming into the microphone.
