I'm not sure who did the research for this, but William Perry played 10 years in the NFL - 8 for Chicago and 2 for the Philadelphia Eagles. I wouldn't call that a 'brief' career.

You missed Joe Torre and Willie Randolph for Subway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5ezopBcAhg

Also, CC Sabathia and Johan Santana did a pretty entertaining commercial together (I think it was for Subway as well).

My favorite was Hakeem Olajuwon and Shaq shilling for Taco Bell during their NBA Finals matchup. After previously debating crunchy versus soft tacos, they learned to get along and rode a twin bicycle, sporting beanies with propellers for some reason.
