GUEST BELI-BLOGGER LEE MCD: LANCE IN THE RING!

Have you seen the new Nike commercials? They feature prominent sports figures like Andre Agassi, Lance Armstrong, and Randy Johnson competing in sports other than their own. For example, the ad leads off with Agassi batting for the Red Sox, moves to Randy Johnson bowling for a strike, and ends with Armstrong giving a few punches in the boxing ring. The voice over at the end is "This guy can do anything." I love this ad!!! But does it merely build enthusiasm for our sports heroes and for all sports or does it feed the notion of athletes as total superstars beyond reproach? I look at it with such thrill and enthusiasm, but maybe that's just because I'm eager for Spring Training! Click here to see the ad.

What I want to know is if that commercial with Andre Agassi, Lance Armstrong, and Randy Johnson is real or is it just computerized to make it look like they are really playing those sports. I believe that it is fake, but I want to know for sure.
