Brett Favre’s Wrangler Commercials Are Real, Comfortable & Off NFL Telecasts

Posted by Dan Levy.

Brett Favre hasn’t had the best few weeks. Despite beating the Dallas Cowboys to keep the Vikings season afloat this weekend, his Monday probably isn’t going as great as the gunslinger had hoped. Per Darren Rovell of CNBC, Favre’s Wrangler Jeans ads are being removed from NFL Telecasts.

He just went and got pantsed, dog gone’it.

Okay,  I’m even pretty grossed out by this. Particulars per Rovell:

Something clearly changed this past weekend, as Wrangler either replaced the Favre spots with spots using its other high-profile spokesman Dale Earnhardt Jr. or ran the Favre spots on niche channels.

The Favre Wrangler spot, which had been in heavy rotation, only ran ten total times on Sunday on smaller niche channels including Versus, FX, Speed and the History Channel. Not a single Favre Wrangler ad aired on an NFL broadcast, according to Front Row Analytics, a sponsorship evaluation firm.

Look, it’s not the greatest Photoshop we’ve ever done, but this was too easy NOT to do. Here’s hoping Sacha Baron Cohen’s next mocumentary comes in the form of an aging quarterback. Or a slinger of guns.
