Hummer is sponsoring this year's NFL Draft (tomorrow and Sunday). They sponsored last year's too and they used that event to introduce the then new H3. This year, projected #1 pick Reggie Bush will get the keys to two H2s that he'll be allowed to drive for a year. We don't really think a guy who will make millions is really going to be swayed by free H2 usage for a year, although we hear he's used to free housing. Hummers will also be used to shuttle the draft picks and families in New York during Draft activities. Why is this interesting? Gawker loves sports as evidenced by sibling site. Deadpsin and our fill-in editor Mr. Thomas even has a football blog. So, we're all secretly hoping the Houston Texans take Mario Williams at #1 to throw off this whole silly marketing exercise.
