The PGA thought a playoff system, better known as the FedEx Cup, would add excitement to the game. They were wrong, and now that Vijay Singh has all but wrapped up this year’s Cup the playoffs are officially a bust. This means that the PGA recorded their “Playoff” commercials for no reason.
The PGA went after athletes with big time playoff experience for this campaign. The ads feature guys like Michael Jordan, John Elway, Joe Sakic, Emmitt Smith, Ben Roethlisberger, Darryl Strawberry, David Wells and Joe Buck.. Wait.. What?!?
A better idea would’ve been to have Joe talk about calling a big moment in the playoffs instead of bs’n about some little league baseball trophy he won in 3rd grade. Joe Buck saying “it’s important to remain as monotone as possible during the biggest moments in the playoffs” would’ve been more accurate.
