best and Worst Commercials with Philly Athletes

For a long time Athletes have been featured heavily in commercials and advertisements. The stars of the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, and other sports leagues have also been the stars of the silver screen during commercial breaks. People like Shaq and Peyton Manning have been mainstays on our TVs. And Philly is no stranger to seeing its athletes in ads either. Sometimes in great commercials. Sometimes not so great. For a long time, Donovan Mcnabb and his mom were a staple in the Campbells Soup commercials. But there are many other examples too. And today, Andrew Salciunas took a deep dive into the Audio Vault to find some of the best, and worst, examples of Philly Athletes in ads.

Here is the lineup of Commercials Featuring Athletes that Andrew played in today's Audio Vault...

  • Darren Daulton and Larry Bowa Team Up in Commercial For McDonald's
  • Harry Kalas Gets Distracted By a Super Pretzel During a Home Run Call
  • Dave Schultz Canada Dry Ginger Ale Commercial
  • Jimmy Rollins Dick's Sporting Goods Cleats Commercials Where He Gets Hit With Balls From  A Pitching Machine
  • Chase Utley's Very Monotone And Uninspiring Performance in a Commercial for Vaseline
  • Darren Sproles Less Than Great Line Delivery in A Cure Auto Insurance Commercial That We Saw Way Too Much Of

Andrew Salciunas, “The Choonis,” has done it all at the station - screening calls, working events as a member of the street team, producing 7 days a week, doing updates, and now hosting his own show. Now with a wife and kid, his life experiences are far different than when he first started, but this “regular guy” knows how to relate to anyone. He writes about the Flyers, Phillies, Sixers, and Eagles.
