Nike has just released a new commercial titled "Fate" for their Nike Football line, with their recurrent "Leave Nothing" tagline. It features LaDainian Tomlinson's and Troy Polamalu's path from birth to their eventual intersect on the football field in the NFL. The interesting bit about the commercial is that it was directed by David Fincher, known for films like Alien3, The Game, Se7en, Fight Club, Zodiac and the soon to be released The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Love the music in this commercial, which is a remix of Ennio Morricone's score from Leone's The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
UPDATE: Just after I posted this entry, I decided to watch last year's Nike "Leave Nothing" commercial with Shawn Merriman and Steven Jackson. I didn't realize that Michael Mann of Heat, The Last of the Mohicans, and Ali fame directed this commercial featuring music from 'Mohicans. I like Fincher's commercial better, less noticeable fake players - who really believes that the Patriot's QB is #4? (Even when Vinatieri was on New England, he had one pass during his 10 season stint in Foxboro)
Mann also directed the Nike Air Zoom commercial "The Plan":
