Who better to let the world know that the NFL is back than comedian, podcaster and hardcore Baltimore Ravens’ fan Stavros Halkias?

“There is so much NFL on ESPN right now, it’s disgusting,” Halkias says. “I love it.”

Crafted by Richmond-based creative agency Arts & Letters, the spot features one everyman talking to all the everymen – and women – who live for football season. This year, ESPN has the Sunday NFL Countdown, Monday Night Football and its pre- and post-game shows, and, in February 2027, ESPN’s first-ever Super Bowl broadcast, which it will share with sibling network ABC. NFL games and content are also available on the NFL Network, which Disney acquired in February for $3 billion and is integrating into ESPN’s streaming products.  

Halkias hosts the “Stavvy’s World” podcast and stars in Netflix’s Tires as well as A24’s new movie, Tony, about the early career of the late Anthony Bourdain. 

ESPN’s “Football’s On” campaign launched during this year's NFL Hall of Fame Enshrinement game on Saturday, August 8, and will run throughout the regular NFL season, reaching fans across ESPN’s social channels, linear TV, online video and ESPN’s own NFL Network.
