Anybody see that Wheaties/Flutie re-enactment commercial?

Bunch of guys at a park playing pick up and they dub over the BC radio call of the play while the guys act out the play. Very good job of making it realistic.

Dante, he is talking about a commercial where they re-enact Flutie's college pass vs Miami, not the Fg he kicked yesterday

Because he can...and its the first time it has been done in 65 years in the NFL....It was just an exclamation point his career (which probably is over) and a novelty for the hometown fans where Flutie grew up...It was a point after kick that was done via drop kick ,last done when players wore leather helmets....It was a "Heres to football" moment....not like the plastic bullshit they do today.

Black Bart was talking about the Flutie to Pheghlan TD pass in Miami in 85 that is re-enacted in commercial featuring a sandlot game...cool commercial.

It's part of a series of commercials. They also have one where a slow pitch softball player comes off the bench to hit a home run while Vin Scully calls the 1988 Kirk Gibson home run in the World Series. I'm guessing we'll see more of this type in the future....
