Imitation Is The Sincerest Form of Flattery

After hitting the "publish" button last night I started turning things off to go to bed and I had to stop to watch the following commercial from the NFL.

You know, it was the NHL that first started handing out the tradition of handing out the championship trophy on the field of play. It took awhile but now all the professional sports leagues do it.

Now the NFL is ripping off the NHL's commercials. Now I can't blame them, that commercial done at the All-Star game was funny but it makes you have to sit and wonder. If the NHL is so poorly marketed as some Anti-Bettman folks claim, why are other leagues ripping off their commercials and traditions?

The NHL has to be doing something right...
