Still no national spot for Jameis

[DukeNole06]

Mariota just starred in an NFL is Family PSA.

Jameis has no Heisman House, no ESPN commercial, no NFL is Family spot.

Mariota has all three.

Jameis has a legit defamation claim.

 

[Soosp]

Not sure that rises to a defamation threshold.

That's exactly the defamation threshold.

How many of those does Johnny Manziel have?

How many of those does Johnny Manziel have?

He's had at least three Heisman House commercials, one of which was a crossover with ESPN and at least one other national spot with Snickers.

One of his Heisman House spots actually makes fun of his partying reputation.

How can you make a defamation claim presumably on rape allegations when there are clearly other factors like shoplifting that come into play? I'm not sure how that works out either financially or politically for Winston. He's got money, best to let his play and maturation process do the talking.

With Jameis' stupidity and possible/likely criminal activity nobody should have him as a spokesman. It's unfortunate but he's a victim of the utterly stupid choices he made

This. It's amazing how many of our fans let their homerism get in the way of logical thought. No way if I'm the CEO of a large company or head of an organization do I have anything to do with Winston. Let him display a few years of maturity, then maybe.

How does this happen

Even MANZIEL has a heisman house commercial

 

[LLOYD72]

If you followed the negative publicity last year at all, that's easy to answer.

Erica Kinsman.

 

[dafnole]

I don't think Jameis wants anything to do with ESPN

 

[pjaynoles09]

^^^^^This^^^^^ I think this is Jameis choice, not theirs.

 

[Jaxnavynole34]

Yeah I used to like these commercials, but I think they snubbed JW.

 

[Hartle01]

I imagine JW will be getting all the publicity within the next couple of years.

 

[tcarnole]

The commercial is for Nissan
Apparently Jamies is not under contract with them

 

[flatskw88]

Exon Valdez II.................

 

[Nole York City]

I don't think Jameis wants anything to do with ESPN

So the Nissan Heisman House commercials are cast by ESPN?

They should be over that by now

 

[FlamingSpear]

The continued onslaught of negative articles and and character assassination by ESPN and other media outlets has made Jameis "persona non grata" for TV and corporate ads.
