They just showed the same commercial again and you are right it is about 2 or 3 seconds. Maybe that's all ESPN could afford this year.

it wouldn't cost ESPN a dime to place an ad on their OWN network

It isn't ESPN's game. It is Sega/VC's game. Sega still has to pay for promotion. ESPN didn't pay Sega to get the ESPN name on the game, why would ESPN foot the bill for the commercials? ESPN got paid by Sega to use the ESPN trademarks in the game.

I saw a different one while watching Sportscenter this morning. The first one I has seen a few days ago, and it was like 5 seconds long. The newer one is like 10-15 seconds long. It shows like 3-4 brief clips of FPM before cutting to the box cover and date.
