I was assuming it was just really good digital video editing.

Agassi and Lance were actually real. Lance was in the ring with a boxer and that was Agassi fielding and hitting in LA (made to look like Boston). Did not hear about the others though.

I think the one where Agassi throws to first base was actually Nomar with Agassi's face

I think that commercial kicks ass!

I like the Micheal Vick one with the Avalanche. That is sweet! It is just plain funny... mainly because he is black :D (Don't take that to be racist)

I fail to see the humor.

Quite a few actually. I just picked out Worrell since he played for the Avalanche as was pointed out with Vick playing for the Avalanche.

Probably not in the NHL, but who knows for minor leagues.
