Nike commercial
Reporter: What do you think of the commercial with LaDainian Tomlinson? Urlacher: I haven't seen it. What happens? Reporter: He shreds the Bears defense for a touchdown. Urlacher: Wow. It must be a video game. Is it a video game? Reporter: No, it’s not a video game. It's a commercial. Urlacher: How did he do the last time we played them? Look at the stats. See how he did.
