THE SPOTS
Two :30s promote new Spalding products: the XFL Football and the Infusion basketball. In "XFL," Chicago Bears legend Dick Butkus taunts a player for not being rugged enough for the "official game ball of the XFL from Spalding—the toughest football ever." In "Secret Lab," Kobe Bryant tests the new Spalding Infusion Basketball created by a scientist in a "007"-style laboratory.
"XFL" and "Secret Lab" began airing Feb. 3 and 10, respectively.
