A Moment from Someone Else's Sponsor
We can all agree that Eli Manning's advertisement for Citizen Eco-Drive Watches is one of the most improbably bad ideas in recent endorsement history.
Some qualities I'd like in a watch: Accuracy, consistency, coolness.
Some Eli Manning qualities: Sleepiness, um ...
Getting Eli Manning to pitch a high-class product is just admitting that you were too cheap to get Peyton. It got me thinking. What would be some other disastrous NFL endorsements?
I'll get the ball rolling with Troy Williamson for Bausch & Lomb.
Back with something more relevant in a bit, chat coming at 2.

Anybody else notice Eli's wearing what looks suspiciously like his COLLEGE uniform? What a high end watch company that can afford Eli can't afford the license fee for a Giants uni?
