This commercial follows two the NFL's finest, Troy Polamalu and LaDanaian Tomlinson, from birth up until fate brings them together on the field.
I have watched this commercial over and over again, and every time it gives me goosebumps. The ad connects with the viewer on a deeply emotional level by showing
intimate moments of each man's life that reflect their tough, leave nothing, demeanor's. Details like showing the ultrasound with the baby kicking
are both sweet, sensitive, and show that it was destiny that each man end up as a pro football player. While showing each boy doing normal childhood things
the commercial displays their physical talents as the epic, momentum building, song keeps the viewer on the edge of their seat from start to finish. Finally, at the end of the commercial
the two players are on the field and collide head on in slow motion as the song reaches its climax. Most of the commercial doesn't have much sound
but you can clearly hear them hit, and feel the force between them. The clip immediately cuts to a quick view of each boy as a child, reminding us
that destiny and fate brought them together. At the end, the Nike Swoosh reminds us that Nike continues to lead the way in athletic apparel.
