Matt Leinart, Jamarcus Russell, Brian Bosworth are going back to college in ads

NFL busts finally get to accomplish their dream of returning to college.

We’ve gotta give it to DISH for tracking down some of the biggest busts in NFL history and getting them to make fun of the fact that they were NFL busts. The pros were a scary place for Matt Leinart, Jamarcus Russell, Brian Bosworth, and Heath Shuler, and this ad offers them a chance to go back to a place where everybody likes them.

The emotion in Leinart’s voice in each ad... either he’s a great actor or this is just a depiction of every single day of Matt Leinart’s life.

Anyway, we giggled at this. Ads with players making fun of themselves are much funnier than ads where we hear about how great players are, cc: Scottie Pippen, greatest Chicago Bull of all time.
