Ovechkin's SportsCenter ad
Back in late October, Alex Ovechkin and Semyon Varlamov went to Bristol and, among other things, taped a This is SportsCenter ad. We were promised it was going to be a good one. It is that.
The ad is supposed to hit the airwaves this week. That makes two new national spots in less than a week. (Here's the other.) Someone's IMG adviser is doing his job.
