Last year’s NFL.com fantasy football commercial campaign with the “why you should pick me” messages and players performing nearly believable feats met with big online popularity. Stars included Chris Cooley, Chris Chambers and Laurence Maroney (oops).

This year’s series is now two episodes deep, with Joe Flacco getting things going and Santonio Holmes the latest. The tricks aren’t quite as flashy so far, but the spots remain entertaining. Will the players featured enjoy better fantasy fortunes in the regular season this time? We’ll see.

As the whole country gets ready for Super Bowl XLIII, a YouTube collection of NFL.com’s “Pick Me” fantasy football commercials has been getting linked to quite a bit recently. (As of 12:30 p.m. Eastern on Sunday, the video below had drawn nearly 4.3 million views, including two by me.)

The spots played in advance of this NFL season and featured a number of NFL players performing trick photography stunts on and off the practice field. I could descirbe them here, but it’s better to just let you watch the thoroughly enjoyable video.

Although the commercials can be enjoyed by football fans and non-fans alike, knowledgeable fantasy players might find a bit more humor in them. Namely:

– Now we know why New England’s Laurence Maroney can’t keep his stupid shoulder healthy.

– Someone with NFL.com must not have checked out the career completion rate of Washington quarterback Jason Campbell (59.7 percent) before holding him up as a beacon of accuracy.

– Marc Bulger can apparently still grip and throw a football at times. Somehow he even managed to get four throws off in his commercial without getting sacked.

Enjoy the game.
