ESPN Commercial: Who Will Be the Next Raven Featured?

[FlocksGottaFeed]

Since the ESPN E:60 documentary, the Ravens have been completely absent from the 'positive' marketing of players. I get that Sugar Ray was bigger than life and an icon, but no commercials for current Ravens? That I don't get.

 

Those ESPN commercials are brilliant. They allow viewers to see a different side of athletes (outside of their fan base) that would go unnoticed without them. They propel careers and solidify their humanity. I mean I can easily see Steve Smith Sr. doing a funny 'Fountain of Youth' bit and Justin Tucker doing a fantasy 'ATM' bit.

These commercial stars are usually personalities who are social media phenoms, brash, misunderstood, quirky, polarizing, intimidating, funny, unique, humane, goofy or just downright interesting. Surely, there's a Raven that can fit that bill.

Who could they feature for us? Would love to see one of ours get that positive format. Your thoughts:

I think the better question is, "Who will be the next Ravens media darling?" I honestly don't think that person is on the roster. It would've been Torrey.

I think tucker will probably be it

[Inqui]

Haloti Nga.... oh right.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Haloti Nga.... oh right.

 

Too soon?

[allblackraven]

Too soon?

 

correction, it's Tyson.

Joe Flacco leading a pep rally. I'm calling it.

Or Suggs parking his spaceship at the office...

+2! Man those would be instant classics. I had one for Sizzle, but I just put it away after reading yours.

Trust me. We have a lot of guys that can fill roles. Agreed. Torrey would have been great as 'Flash - newsroom guy' and Jacoby could have brought the house down as a in-office Jazz Dance Instructor, but some of our current Ravens can rock it on their own terms.

John Urschel, it's already happening.

Want to see Justin Tucker do an opera thing! Would be funny but he can sing man!

Wow. I didn't even know he had pipes. That would be cool.

[757RavensFan]

I can see Justin Forsett. He's everything you want from a player and a man representing your organization.

[Tru11]

flacco ,suggs , yanda or tucker

[berad]

Suggs and Flacco are most recognizable - I like the pep rally and spaceship idea lol. If you're ESPN, that's probably what you're going for. Or Ed Reed doing his Uncle Rico thing and handing out resumes at the veteran combine.

Steve Smith commercial.  

[berad]

Smith Sr, too, forgot about him.

[Tru11]

i could see the sports center crew in a car pulling up to mcdonald where they hear a familiar voice and when they drive further they see flacco handing them the order.

 

or someone trying to create a WOW character and then ask suggs to help him with which suggs shows him the ball so hard exclusive expansion.

 

or they are trying to break down a play and then urschel coming in breaking it down in way nobody understands 

 

with yanda it would probaly be him using his strength pushing back a car thats perhaps is blocking an entrance or fire hydrant

That would be too great.

Take One -

 

A couple of ESPN analysts bump into each other outside of the payroll office. One says he's really sorry about all the financial problems the other one is having. The other is depressed but saids it's okay then cries hysterically on his colleague's shoulder. Suddenly, the payroll office door slowly, magically opens releasing Emerald City lights and sound to display the Land of Oz inside.

 

Ozzie is sitting behind a grand emerald desk with a smile. Ozzie calmly says, "I got this." to the crying guy's colleague.

 

The crying guy raises up with amazement. His colleague says, "You're good." and walks away.

 

- End take

[Rav'n Maniac]

Or...........Suggs goes to the Steelers ticket window the week after we beat them in the wild card round. 

 

Tells the agent he wants to buy Steeler playoff tickets. The agent explains that the Steelers were eliminated this past weekend by the Ravens.

 

Suggs says: " I know. I'm T-Sizzle from Baltimore and I just really enjoy hearing you say that!"

[Wildabeast88]

I love the ideas the only problem other than Chris Berman and Ray everyone else is on the steeler or pats payroll so no B-more love in that building
