Jackets Preview Game #44
January 16, 2009Week in Review…
January 16, 2009
The sports world was set ablaze when leaked photographs of LeBron James in a Browns jersey were circulated like chain text messages. And as suspected, the pictures were taken during a commercial shoot – but the question remained, who or what was James promoting? Well, thanks to Sparty and Friends, we gain a little more clairity.
Not Nike. Not Vitamin Water. Not even Bubblicious.
LeBron James’ Browns get-up is now the proud pimper of State Farm Insurance.
Screen grabs are below. Sparty and Friends gives us a solid run down of the dialogue involved. At the podium, take a gander at those at LeBron’s side, including but not limited to Maverick Carter and William “Worldwide” Wesley. Personally, I would not have chosen other AFC teams as my opponents in a would-be Super Bowl, but maybe there is more to the commercial than what we can gather from the shots below.
And yes. I’m surprised that they did not attempt to edit out the Reebok logos. Check them out for yourselves – comment away!

bummer.
I’d play him on both sides of the ball too, ala Neon Deion/Troy Brown.
Superbowl commerical?
word on the street is that it will be a two-parter. the first part will air on the 19th, the second part on SBS. I’m not sure if this leak will expedite this or not.
great posts today, guys.
Knowing how strict the NFL is with licensing, it’s highly likely that they couldn’t use the actual Browns uni without the Reebok logo. That doesn’t mean they couldn’t get some creative shots without the logo though.
Just want to actually see this.
I can only imagine what kind of **** storm this would have caused if he was wearing anything other than a Browns jersey.
Can we be like NY media and view this as a sign that he is absolutely without a shadow of a doubt resigning with the Cavs?
One can dream can’t we? Lol
[…] a few shows on there, someone has posted screenshots of it. Thanks to Sparty and Friends and WaitingForNextYear for the […]
this aired during one of the championship games yesterday, and it wasn’t that great.
I want that jersey though.
