there's an upside to not winning a Heisman

and that's not having to film stupid Nissan commercials at the "Heisman House" where you'd get to hang out with notable Heisman winners like Gino Toretta, Jason White, OJ Simpson, and Ty Detmer.

It used to be a cool award but when guys like Detmer and Andre Ware starting winning it, it went downhill from there.





I doubt any of those guys are contractually obligated

just because they won the Heisman years before Nissan started sponsoring it.

Those guys are in those commercials because they want to be.
I haven't seen OJ in any of them for some reason *

They probably have a No Knives Allowed policy in the Heisman

Or a No Knaves Allowed policy. *

I was joking about the first paragraph. The second part about the award used to being a cool award and being diminished in the late 80's/early 90's (post Barry Sanders)...I'll stand by that.
