Okay - so I posted a full high definition version of this commercial.  You will 
need a computer monitor that is at least 1920 pixels wide without losing any 
detail although of course you can watch in on a smaller monitor (does anyone 
have a monitor like this?  I've never seen one).  The commercial appeared not 
just on football but also on "law & order" where I saw it on 2 different nights.

The file is 55 Megabytes and lasts 30 seconds.  Obviously you need to download 
it to your computer and then play it.  Yes, 55 MB as in 55 million bytes!  For 
30 seconds.  And it is very heavily compressed already.  Well I told you it was 
High Definition.  Feel free to pass this link to whomever is in the video.  My 
hosting service will allow up to 7000 downloads before I use up my months 
allocation.  You will need a computer no more than about 2 years old to view it.

Okay the file is here BUT DON'T CLICK ON IT - instead right click and do "save 
target as...".  Save the file and then watch it.

If you have any trouble watching it (because the video player that comeS with 
windows are purposefully crippled and quicktime and realplayer aren't much 
better) then I recommend the VLC Media player.  It is free and open source and 
plays all kinds of video without having to download the codecs separately.  It 
just works:
