Alan borrows money from his mother to buy a new Porsche Boxster in the May 9th episode of CBS's "Two and a Half Men." Unfortunately, that money came with strings attached, when she insisted that Alan go on a blind date with her new boyfriend's daughter, who as it turns out is on a weekend pass from rehab. His crazy blind date proceeds to steal his new sports car and becomes the object of a high-speed car chase.

That was among the sportiest featured product placements of the past week brought to you by MediaDailyNews and branded entertainment researcher iTVX.
