There's something uniquely satisfying about watching a ragtag group of misfits come together and triumph against impossible odds. In our latest episode, we dive into the 2000 sports comedy "The Replacements," where Keanu Reeves plays Shane Falco, a washed-up quarterback scrubbing barnacles off boats who gets an unexpected second chance at football glory.
Behind every great underdog story is an eccentric cast of characters, and this film delivers in spades. From Jon Favreau's unhinged SWAT officer with anger management issues to Orlando Jones' lightning-fast receiver with "hands of stone," these replacement players represent the beautiful chaos that ensues when professional athletes go on strike. We break down how Gene Hackman's veteran coach Jimmy McGinty somehow transforms this bizarre collection of has-beens and never-weres into a functioning football team—with a little help from replacement cheerleaders recruited from the local strip club.
The movie may not have broken box office records upon release, but it's packed with memorable moments that have given it staying power. We dissect the infamous jail cell scene where the entire team bonds through an impromptu performance of "I Will Survive," the Welsh kicker who smokes on the field while trash-talking opponents, and the sumo wrestler who carries multiple defenders into the end zone. Plus, we connect the film to its loose inspiration: the 1987 NFL strike where real-life replacement players for the Washington Redskins won all their games yet weren't awarded Super Bowl rings until decades later.
Our episode culminates in an intense trivia showdown testing our hosts' knowledge of the film, with the loser sentenced to watch the critically-panned Borderlands movie as punishment. Listen to find out who proves they have the most heart—because as Coach McGinty would say, that's what separates winners from losers.
We mash genres. We pitch games. You question our sanity.

Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
They're doing well.
It came out August 11th in 2000.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I don't remember what the rule is Like once it's out

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Let's see.
It made $11 million in itsopening weekend, behind Space
Cowboys and Hollow man.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Space Cowboys was the best out of all of them.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Out of those two.
Yes, I would agree SpaceCowboys.
We should have just did thatmovie.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Roger Ebert gave this film two out of four stars.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I was going to say two out of four thumbs.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
What Huh Writing?
The film was slap-happyentertainment painted in broad
strokes two coats thick.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I like how the synopsis is one sentence During
a pro football strike, theowners hire substitute players.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
That's really like the gist of it, because it's
based on the 1987 NFL season.
It just says football.
Well it's very loosely based ona strike season Football.
So in 1987, for those of youwho don't know the NFL did have
a.
It just says football.
Well, it's very loosely basedon a strike season Football.
So in 1987, for those of youwho don't know, the NFL did have
a player strike and I thinkthere was three games with the
scab players is what they calledthem and the Washington
(04:56):
Redskins scab players.
They were the only team thatwon all three of their
replacement games.
Wow.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Which meant they didn't know who they were.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
It wasn't until a couple of years ago.
They gave those players theirSuper Bowl rings because the
Redskins won the Super Bowl thatyear.
Wow, and like they were.
Like you know, we won threegames out of a strike shortened
season.
I think it was only aneight-game season and it's like
that's.
They won a third or almost halfthe games for the team as
replacements and they're justlike where's our championship?
They wouldn't even let themsuit up or be at the game.
(05:26):
It was really a tacky thing.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Losers, losers, but.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Hayden's already losing his interest because it's
sports.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
What are we talking about?
The replacements.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Well, yes, we are talking about soccer.
There's a soccer player in this, or a football player?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Football.
That's the guy from.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
The Irish guy yeah, he's from Whatever.
Same thing.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
The Dance with Dragons show yes, he plays Sir
Otto Hightower.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
That's right, and he also plays Dr Connors in.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Spider-Man Lizard man In the Amazing Spider-Man, yeah
.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
But an unnamed fictional professional football
league is hit with a playerstrike.
With four games left in theseason, the Washington Sentinels
calls in.
Or the Washington Sentinelsteam owner, ed O'Neill not
related to the actor fromMarried with Children brings in
his former coach, jimmy McGinty,telling him the league's going
(06:25):
into the dumpster and they'regoing to finish the regular
season with replacement players,and asks him to return to the
coach the Sentinels for the restof the season, adding that
winning three of their last fourwill get them into the playoffs
.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
That might be my new favorite name.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Ed O'Neill no.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Jimmy McGinty.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Jimmy McGinty, I dig it.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
It's like somebody would name their dog that Sir
Jimmy McGinty.
Jimmy McGinty.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Jimmy McGinty Accepts on the condition that he can
sign all the players he wantswithout the ownership's
interference.
And then we get the well itopens with like the news thing,
and then it cuts to Shane Falcoplaying football underwater like
in scuba gear.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, he's cleaning out from under his boat.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yeah, that's like his job.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
He finances a trophy, so he's down there pretending
like he's playing, but he's inscuba gear.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
You've got to think the water resistance of throwing
underwater.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
How far is that going to go, though?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I don't know, but when he gets back on land and
yeets it.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
That guy can throw like 100 yards.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
He's going to be the best quarterback in the entire
league, the best of all time.
So Jimmy McGinty, oh I like,has like that old school kind of
coach.
Look, he's got like the strawfedora hat, like the sports
jacket, the tie.
It's very like he's got amustache.
That's Hackman, right yeahthat's Gene Hackman's character
Hackman, and he pulls togethervarying players of talents who
(07:45):
he believes can make anentertaining, if not winning,
team Huh, including Shane Falco,former All-American from Ohio
State, whose career went topieces after a lopsided Sugar
Bowl loss Whoa, and he now livesin a houseboat in the DC area
while scrubbing barnacles off ofboats.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Barnacles, can he dodge bullets?
He can dodge tacklers.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
No, he couldn't, no, no, no, he could not.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
And also a slew of other bizarre players, because I
think they have like an opentryout too, because they bring
in the sumo guy.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Yeah, fumiko.
And then you also have OrlandoJones, which, like when they're
showing how they got him, he'sracing like some guy steals
something from the conveniencestore that he's working at.
So he takes off out of the gasstation chasing him down and
he's like running next to himgoing hey man, you're pretty
fast, he's just like talking ashe's like jogging at that point
next to him the guy like slipsor whatever, like it was like a
twinkie.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Yeah, goes flying into the sky because the Asian
order is like get him.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
And then it cuts back to the coaches and they're like
, hey, but does he have anyhands?
And then it cuts back to himand Twinkie falls, hits him in
the face, and then it hits theground and he steps on it.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Hands of stone Could not catch a cold naked in Alaska
in January.
But he's fast, but he's reallyreally fast, real fast In
January, but he's fast, but he'sreally really fast, real fast.
The two brothers who areoffensive guards, the guards,
they're great.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Jamal and.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Andre, they were NFL players.
They were fantastic when theywere on the same team, but when
you separated them, it all justfell apart and they're like
bodyguards for some group.
And one of them was like yeah,it's like hey, we're playing
football again.
And the one answer was likeyeah, it's like, hey, we're
playing football again and thebro's like all right.
Speaker 2 (09:27):

Speaker 3 (09:43):
Nigel Gruff yeah, nigel Gruff, who's called the
Leg Because McGinty saw him onTV kicking a football from like
one side of the pitch to theother and scoring, so it's like

Speaker 2 (09:55):
He's wiry.
He keeps telling the othercoaches like he's wiry.
He's wiry.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I just remember like he just shows up drunk smoking a
cigarette, kicks the crap outof the football and it goes back

And he's side-humping the air.
He's just like come on, come on.
He's like ooh, and he's liketss.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
There's one part where he goes up to kick the
field goal in the middle of thegame, takes a cigarette, kicks
it out and John Madden goes.
Is he smoking on the field?
I think he's smoking down there, Pat.
It's a good movie.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
You get Danny Bateman , played by Jon Favreau, who's a

It doesn't even work but that guy was actually like
in the movie supposed to havebeen.
He was an nfl but then he gotsent to prison because he like

And then tight end Brian Murphy, who's deaf because like

And it's like you know everyplayer dreams of a second chance
.
You know being all motivational,and then Shane Falco shows up,

in solidarity, except the headcheerleader who only makes $50 a
game according to the movie.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yeah, wow.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
So they're having cheerleader replacements and
some of them are like scary.
And then strippers or exoticdancers show up and they're like

But the replacements have theirfirst game and it doesn't go
well.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
They win, don't they?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
No, they lose the first game, because the sumo
wrestler is like raw eggsrelentlessly and they're like
arguing and pushing each otherin the huddle about who's
standing in whose spot.
The sumo wrestler guy throws upand then they're all about to
start throwing up.
Orlando Jones throws up.
It's like all right, everybodyshift over and they're getting
like delay, game, delay, game,delay game.
Speaker 2 (15:54):

They all just put their armsaround each other and then
they're like fast, step Allright, left on two, One, two and
they're like what the hell arethey doing?
Speaker 3 (16:04):
And Jimmy McGinty, it's like it's the first thing
they've done as a team.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Let him go, let him go.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
They end up kind of coming back.
But Shane Falco sees a pendingblitz, calls the audible and
falls short of the winningtouchdown, and then he is
scolded by Jimmy McGinty yeah,jimmy McGinty, for winners
always want the ball when thegame's on the line.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Which made me think but didn't he do what he's
supposed to do?
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Yeah, he kind of.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
That means that he took the ball because he wanted
to win.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Yeah, maybe it was like a cautionary tale.
You shouldn't get the ball whenyou want to win.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Yeah.
So the boys, they go out tocommiserate at a bar about their
loss when the NFL players showup?
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Of course they do.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
And they start insulting the deft tight end.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
And giving him the business.
And then Shane Falco tries likeseparate him and the NFL
quarterback punches Shane Falcoand like all the players about
to like fight and he's likestarts separating him.
And then he sees Danny Batemanshow up because during practice
he tried to kill Falco becausehe had on a red shirt goes.
I just see red and I just loseit and he's like standing there
(17:16):
with a cowboy hat on or asombrero.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
It's not even on, it's like on his back, it's just
on his back.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
And he's holding a bottle of Don Julio and he's
like, hey, baby.
And he's like, yeah, he goes.
Remember what we said about Red, forget it.
He goes, okay, and he just goes.
And Keanu Reeves just decks thequarterback in the face and as
he spins, he gets spear tackledby Jon.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Favreau.
Well then you have Jamal, who'slike not fazed by any of it.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
He's sitting there drinking at the bar and they
bump into him and he just goesand stares at the dude, grabs
him, puts him on the bar andruns him down like the whole bar
, knocking everything over andbreaking stuff while yelling at
him, and the whole time OrlandoBloom's hiding behind the
jukebox.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Orlando Jones.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I mean, yeah, orlando Jones, two completely different
people.
Speaker 1 (18:01):

It'd be a wow movie if OrlandoBloom was in it.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
The leg, the leg is like going like come on, come on
, come on to some guy, he goeshold it Bow.
And he kicks him in the ballslike as hard as he can and drops
the guy, looks at him, goeslet's play football, and then
kicks him in the face and knockshim out.
And then the cops show up andall the replacements get
arrested and not the NFL players.
Then they do their dance in thecell Because Orlando Jones is
(18:28):
going crazy.
He's like, oh, that fight.
It's like, oh yeah, I saw youhiding behind the jukebox.
Clifford Franklin.
Speaker 2 (18:32):

And then they all start bondingwhile singing I Will Survive by
Gloria Gaynor, and they're alllike doing, like dancing,
including the convict guy andDanny Bateman, showing a sign of
mutual respect now and growingtheir personal relationships.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
They're coming together amidst adversity.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
They're all dancing.
Then Jimmy McGinty comes downand they're all like walking off
.
Orlando Jones and the deaf guyare still dancing and they have
to like grab him.
And then they have to turn andgrab the deaf guy because he
doesn't know.
And they're all like, and it'sjust like, if there's any
fighting on this team, it's likethis is not going to be tiring,
we're not going to have anothernight like this, and they're
(19:16):
all like, okay's like let's getout of here, and then they start
bonding and playing betterfootball and they start winning
with the help of strippers.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Yeah, there's like one play where, like they're, I
think, they're trying to drawthem all side or something, but
basically the the opposing teamis on offense, they're getting
down, they're getting ready tosay hut, they look over and the
girls are just all grinding oneach other and then you see all
the football players just turnand look.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Like the whole offensive line's head just goes.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Even the ref is like on accident, blowing the whistle
.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
And there's just some dude in the audience like
losing it.
He's like yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
And there's like kids and like moms are covering
their eyes and the kid's like no, I don't want to see this One
of the troopers, slaps the otherone on the butt and all of a
sudden you see the quarterbackgo huh and the defense just goes
pancakes.
Yeah, the center snaps the balland nobody else moves except
for the defense.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
But the coach is losing it.
He's getting mad.
He's just like did you see that?
That one smacked the otherone's butt?
He's like get those people outof here.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
it's like he's like it is pretty funny.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
But also a love story starts to start between the
head cheerleader and Shane Falcowho literally tells him.
I don't date football playerswhile they go out to the bar
that she also owns and runswhile she's the head cheerleader
and kicks people out, kicks outregulars.
So the two of them can betogether, which is redonkulous,
redonkulous.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
And then you also find out Nigel is kind of in
debt with loan sharks.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Yeah, with some shady characters who are watching in
Europe and see him on TV andthey're like huh.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Well, no, they're in the bar watching something and
they just happened to see him onthe TV and they're like wait a
minute.
You actually see like the clipof him smoking a cigarette.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
What's great is for football fans?
It's John Madden and PatSummerall.
We used to do Monday nightfootball and, like all, like the
profile games of the Super Bowlor the announcers in the movie.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Very similar to to how Major League did it.
What was?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
the guy's name.
It was baseball, I don't knowOkay.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
I'm mad, I'm forgetting, because he just
passed away.
Baseball Tennis when are we at?
Where are we at?
Where are we at?
They have a meeting after thegame or the next day at a Chuck
Talk with McGinty.
Is it rain?
Oh yeah, it is rain.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Okay, I thought I heard something.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
I was like what is that sound?
I saw lightning outside.
I was like it's raining.
Huh.
Where they have their fears,their fears, where they talk
about their fears.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
What's I remember?
Speaker 3 (21:57):
John.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Faber's fears something silly.
Was it clowns or something Ican't remember?
Speaker 3 (22:02):
No it was Clifford Franklin's Orlando Jones.
He's like spiders, he's like Idon't know.
Spiders are pretty scaryBecause they're all kind of like
yeah, those are like, I don'tlike that.
And then Shane Falco says hisis quicksand.
It's like you keep strugglingand struggling.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Yeah, he means it as a metaphor though.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Yeah, it's very metaphorical and they're all
like, damn, that's some deep,but it brings them even closer
together.
And then the next game, againstSan Diego.
They fall behind again but areable to come together and rally
after a 65-yard field goal bytheir Welsh kicker, Nigel.
Nigel and win the game, whichis very nice.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
What's like the NFL record 66?
Speaker 3 (22:42):
yards.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
That's the record, or 68 yards.
It might be even further thanthat.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
now I don't think anyone's gone to 70.
No, I know it's in the 60s.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
I know they've attempted some from the 70s in
the 70-yard range.
They had the kickoff kicker outthere kicking the field goal.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
I think the record is 65 or 66.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
It's in the 60s, but I think they've tried 70s.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
It might be 68.
That's like no one's gone to 70.
Okay, as far as I know, that'sa long way.
Yeah, let alone accurately yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
And then Shane Falco and the head cheerleader meet at
a bar again and they share apassionate kiss.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
And then they win another game, after they nearly
lose to Phoenix but win on acouple of improbable plays.
The sumo wrestler gets the ball, oh yeah, and he catches it and
goes holy and they're like runand the guards are.
And goes holy and they're likerun and the guards are like
follow me and they're justknocking people senseless.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
He has like four or five guys jump on his back and
he just carries them to the endzone.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Yeah, because the guy's like jump on his back and
the announcer's just like I lovewatching a fat guy run and the
big man scores.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Because the helmet looks ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
It looks like his head's actually bigger than the
helmet.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
They use napkins for cheek pads.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
They come back to Washington and the owner tells
Jimmy McGinty that Eddie Martell, the actual quarterback,
crossed the picket line and sohas all of the Dallas football
team who they're about to betheir next opponent, and that
Eddie Martell's going to startand not Shane Falco, breaking
the compromise and the promise.
(24:33):
And he wants to quit on thespot, but he refuses.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Just refuses.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Well, he tells it and he gives in, and he tells Falco
that he has heart Martel lacks.
And then when Falco gives theteam the news, they're
disheartened and they give him afarewell toast and he stands up
the head cheerleader on anotherdate, aw, and he goes back to
scrubbing barnacles.
That's his true passion.
Barnacle scrubber.
So in the first half of thegame, eddie Martell severely
(25:03):
clashes with the replacementplayers, blaming them for his
mistakes and smugly ignoringMcGinty's play calls.
They trail 17-0 at the half.
And then, while they're allbeing mad and upset, shane Falco
sees it on TV.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
And then Shane Falco sees it on TV.
Remember when the water boysshowed up at halftime After Mug
Dogs went to Super?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Bowl.
And then Shane Falco walks inand Jim McGinty looks down and
goes that whole took you so long, suit up.
And then Martell's just like oh, I'm the quarterback, I won two
Super Bowls.
And then they beat the crap outof him or something, they throw
him out of the locker room andthey're like get out of here.
(25:41):
And then Shane Falco ralliesthe team back Within a field
goal.
Right, yeah, to a field goal.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
But Nigel has to because he sees the swarthy guys
like the long-shirt people arelike standing on the sidelines,
but he basically has to throwthe game for them, yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
And he's like crying, like tearing up Because if he
doesn't do he's gonna lose hispub and falco's the place kicker
holder, yeah, and um, he's likeall right, he's like I got it
and like he they go to do thething and he takes the snap and
just takes off running.
But nigel runs and does thewhole kick and like launches
himself and falls, like breakshis arm, yeah, or like breaks
(26:15):
his shoulder something yeah andthen falco runs and scores the
winning touchdown.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Yep, wow, he's a hero , he's a hero.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
We can be heroes just for one day Did he reconcile.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Yes, he did.
Yeah, you know he did.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Kisses the cheerleader.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Happy ending 100% happy ending.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
But they never.
That's the end of the movie.
They don't, you know, theydon't get to go play in the
playoffs, they just that was theend of their career.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
That was all four games.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
They got a second chance to come back and play pro
football and the narrative isGene Hackman going.
Like you know, there might be acontract for some of them.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
It's, like you know, an offer.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
For just a little.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Glory's eternal.
Go back to scrubbing barnacles.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I always thought you know if I could play football?
And now I think, god, if I gothit one time I'd just be on the
floor.
Yeah, my body couldn't takethat punishment anymore.
Nope.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
You're just the meme of Peter Griffin laying there
just like twisted.
I'm like that.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
And then he'd be like yeah, if somebody hit me as
hard as the people in the NFLand college hit nowadays, I'd
have to shoot them, because Iget hit by a truck.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I just retire.
Just put me in a chair andleave me.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
He can tell that the team doesn't respect the
starting quarterback.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
Yeah, but that's not what the chat GPT said.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Well, chat GPT's wrong.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
Well, I don't know.
They go to kick the field goaland he picks up and runs with it
.
It's a pass play.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
Oh, it's not a pass play though.
Speaker 2 (38:33):

Speaker 3 (38:37):
You've chat GPT sucks .
Speaker 1 (38:38):

Speaker 3 (38:39):
chat, gpt, even watch this movie.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Me and chat GPT are the same way.
Speaker 2 (38:43):
That's the whole point of it being so dramatic.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
The answer is Falco throws a touchdown pass to
Clifford Franklin in the finalseconds.
I don't remember that, Cause Ithink it's they get the
touchdown and it's supposed tobe the extra point.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
But he does it and goes for two.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Okay, which?
Speaker 3 (38:58):
doesn't make sense, because I still wouldn't.
They still would have thepoints, they would have had 20.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
They're just rubbing it in, they would have had 19 to
17.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
Yeah, yeah, that doesn't make any sense.
No points for anyone.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
I'm the greatest thing that happened to this show
.
We're talking about theReplacements, the 2000 sports
comedy film directed by HowardDeutsch, starring Keanu Reeves,
Gene Hackman, Orlando Jones,Brooke Langton Rice Iffins or
Iffins, I don't know how you sayhis name, it's Welsh Jon
(03:03):
Favreau and Jack Warden.
In his last film appearancebefore his death in 2006.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
And Orlando Jones.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I said Orlando Jones, oh, you did.
Yeah, if you were listening.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I'm not one of those great listening patrons and
speaking.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
This is a very 50-50 movie.
Budget was $50 million.
The box office was $50.1million.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Oh wow.
Well, they needed to make $75to break even.
So they did not.
Well, they needed to make $75to break even, so they did not
Well.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
they made another $3.99 when I rented it.
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
They're doing well.
It came out August 11th in 2000.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I don't remember what the rule is Like once it's out
of theaters.
Well, it depends on what decadeit comes out.
But I think like a movie makesand appreciates like X amount of
million dollars based off ofits original box office every
year, and then like what?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
rentals and.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
When they play it on.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
TV.
I'm sure the Replacements hasmade its money back and then
some by now, but still.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Let's see.
It made $11 million in itsopening weekend, behind Space
Cowboys and Hollow man.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Space Cowboys was the best out of all of them.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Out of those two.
Yes, I would agree SpaceCowboys.
We should have just did thatmovie.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Roger Ebert gave this film two out of four stars.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I was going to say two out of four thumbs.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
What Huh Writing?
The film was slap-happyentertainment painted in broad
strokes two coats thick.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I like how the synopsis is one sentence During
a pro football strike, theowners hire substitute players.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
That's really like the gist of it, because it's
based on the 1987 NFL season.
It just says football.
Well it's very loosely based ona strike season Football.
So in 1987, for those of youwho don't know the NFL did have
a.
It just says football.
Well, it's very loosely basedon a strike season Football.
So in 1987, for those of youwho don't know, the NFL did have
a player strike and I thinkthere was three games with the
scab players is what they calledthem and the Washington
(04:56):
Redskins scab players.
They were the only team thatwon all three of their
replacement games.
Wow.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Which meant they didn't know who they were.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
It wasn't until a couple of years ago.
They gave those players theirSuper Bowl rings because the
Redskins won the Super Bowl thatyear.
Wow, and like they were.
Like you know, we won threegames out of a strike shortened
season.
I think it was only aneight-game season and it's like
that's.
They won a third or almost halfthe games for the team as
replacements and they're justlike where's our championship?
They wouldn't even let themsuit up or be at the game.
(05:26):
It was really a tacky thing.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Losers, losers, but.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Hayden's already losing his interest because it's
sports.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
What are we talking about?
The replacements.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Well, yes, we are talking about soccer.
There's a soccer player in this, or a football player?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Football.
That's the guy from.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
The Irish guy yeah, he's from Whatever.
Same thing.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
The Dance with Dragons show yes, he plays Sir
Otto Hightower.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
That's right, and he also plays Dr Connors in.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Spider-Man Lizard man In the Amazing Spider-Man, yeah
.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
But an unnamed fictional professional football
league is hit with a playerstrike.
With four games left in theseason, the Washington Sentinels
calls in.
Or the Washington Sentinelsteam owner, ed O'Neill not
related to the actor fromMarried with Children brings in
his former coach, jimmy McGinty,telling him the league's going
(06:25):
into the dumpster and they'regoing to finish the regular
season with replacement players,and asks him to return to the
coach the Sentinels for the restof the season, adding that
winning three of their last fourwill get them into the playoffs
.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
That might be my new favorite name.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Ed O'Neill no.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Jimmy McGinty.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Jimmy McGinty, I dig it.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
It's like somebody would name their dog that Sir
Jimmy McGinty.
Jimmy McGinty.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Jimmy McGinty Accepts on the condition that he can
sign all the players he wantswithout the ownership's
interference.
And then we get the well itopens with like the news thing,
and then it cuts to Shane Falcoplaying football underwater like
in scuba gear.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, he's cleaning out from under his boat.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yeah, that's like his job.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
He finances a trophy, so he's down there pretending
like he's playing, but he's inscuba gear.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
You've got to think the water resistance of throwing
underwater.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
How far is that going to go, though?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I don't know, but when he gets back on land and
yeets it.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
That guy can throw like 100 yards.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
He's going to be the best quarterback in the entire
league, the best of all time.
So Jimmy McGinty, oh I like,has like that old school kind of
coach.
Look, he's got like the strawfedora hat, like the sports
jacket, the tie.
It's very like he's got amustache.
That's Hackman, right yeahthat's Gene Hackman's character
Hackman, and he pulls togethervarying players of talents who
(07:45):
he believes can make anentertaining, if not winning,
team Huh, including Shane Falco,former All-American from Ohio
State, whose career went topieces after a lopsided Sugar
Bowl loss Whoa, and he now livesin a houseboat in the DC area
while scrubbing barnacles off ofboats.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Barnacles, can he dodge bullets?
He can dodge tacklers.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
No, he couldn't, no, no, no, he could not.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
And also a slew of other bizarre players, because I
think they have like an opentryout too, because they bring
in the sumo guy.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Yeah, fumiko.
And then you also have OrlandoJones, which, like when they're
showing how they got him, he'sracing like some guy steals
something from the conveniencestore that he's working at.
So he takes off out of the gasstation chasing him down and
he's like running next to himgoing hey man, you're pretty
fast, he's just like talking ashe's like jogging at that point
next to him the guy like slipsor whatever, like it was like a
twinkie.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Yeah, goes flying into the sky because the Asian
order is like get him.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
And then it cuts back to the coaches and they're like
, hey, but does he have anyhands?
And then it cuts back to himand Twinkie falls, hits him in
the face, and then it hits theground and he steps on it.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Hands of stone Could not catch a cold naked in Alaska
in January.
But he's fast, but he's reallyreally fast, real fast In
January, but he's fast, but he'sreally really fast, real fast.
The two brothers who areoffensive guards, the guards,
they're great.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Jamal and.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Andre, they were NFL players.
They were fantastic when theywere on the same team, but when
you separated them, it all justfell apart and they're like
bodyguards for some group.
And one of them was like yeah,it's like hey, we're playing
football again.
And the one answer was likeyeah, it's like, hey, we're
playing football again and thebro's like all right.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
And they just walk away, just leave it.
Yeah, some guy at their guardgets mobbed by fans as they just
walk away.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
It's like, yeah, we're going to go play football.
Now you get Ryze Ifan'scharacter.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Who what.
Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Nigel Gruff yeah, nigel Gruff, who's called the
Leg Because McGinty saw him onTV kicking a football from like
one side of the pitch to theother and scoring, so it's like
he's obviously going to be agreat kicker.
He's wiry.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
He's wiry.
He keeps telling the othercoaches like he's wiry.
He's wiry.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I just remember like he just shows up drunk smoking a
cigarette, kicks the crap outof the football and it goes back
.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
And he's side-humping the air.
He's just like come on, come on.
He's like ooh, and he's liketss.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
There's one part where he goes up to kick the
field goal in the middle of thegame, takes a cigarette, kicks
it out and John Madden goes.
Is he smoking on the field?
I think he's smoking down there, Pat.
It's a good movie.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
You get Danny Bateman , played by Jon Favreau, who's a
.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Happy Hogan.
He's like a SWAT cop.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
He was like a SWAT guy on the DC.
He's on the DC SWAT team andit's just like some perp like
and it just cuts to him in fullSWAT gear, just spear this guy.
He's just like, ah, Like losinghis mind.
It's just like, yeah, he wasplaying in college and then,
like he joined, like, signed upin the military and went to
Desert Storm and then he cameback and then it's like, then he
(10:52):
decided to be a cop.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Yes, they said something about like his kidney.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
He couldn't be in the pro or couldn't like that, so
he joined the police force yeah,he tackles bad guys and then
they have the one guy they geton work release and they have to
change his name yeah, like it'sa guy from prison, but uh art
lefleur.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Uh, let's see, is it?
He plays one of the assistantcoaches yeah, well, they drop

Speaker 3 (11:37):
It doesn't even work but that guy was actually like
in the movie supposed to havebeen.
He was an nfl but then he gotsent to prison because he like
resisted arrest or something andhim and obviously Danny Bateman
do not get along well.
And then tight end Brian Murphy, who's deaf because like
they're doing the tryout andhe's like just he's a stud
(11:58):
player, like amazing, and theguy like walks up to the coach,
he's like that was great, andhe's the guy he starts signing

Speaker 2 (12:03):
He's like and he just stares at him.

He's like and he just turns and leaves and he goes
the tight end is deaf.
He goes yeah, he'll never getcalled off sides.
It's just like how am Isupposed to coach him?
He's just like learn signlanguage.
And like walks away.
And then, like McGivney, goesto try to get Shane Falco to
show up and he's like no, Idon't play football.
(12:27):
And it's like you know everyplayer dreams of a second chance
.
You know being all motivational,and then Shane Falco shows up,
but also when all the playersleft, all the cheerleaders left
in solidarity, except the headcheerleader who only makes $50 a
game according to the movie.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yeah, wow.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
So they're having cheerleader replacements and
some of them are like scary.
And then strippers or exoticdancers show up and they're like
they have obviously the movesyou could say, and it's like, oh
, you guys are good.
It's like, oh yeah, we havemore friends.
It's just like you guys aredancers, like yeah, I was like
what kind polls are involved.
So then they get strippers tobe cheerleaders Nice, which
(13:06):
obviously makes for fun for thewhole family.
Oh yeah, maybe not the wholefamily, but Regardless.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Well, after they've picked the players that they're
going to keep or whateverthey're sitting down, right
before the first I guess it'sthe first game.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
But you got Jon Favreau and then Heath the cop,
and then you have the other guythat's the prisoner, and they're
sitting there just looking ateach other eating in silence.
Orlando Jones' character comesup, sits down between them.
He's like you know what I heardmy man?
He's innocent, he didn't evendo it.
I was like you know, if therewas a cop in here right now, I'd
(13:42):

And then John Favreau'scharacter just looks at him and
goes I'm a cop.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
And he goes oh, I'll be over there, I'll be over
there.
And then they show up atpractice or whatever, and all
the NFL players are, like youknow, picketing and striking and
the jerk NFL players, like they, flip over Shane Falco's truck.
Yeah, they literally just liketip it over and they're all like
yeah and like high-fiving, andone guy has on like a leopard

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Well, they've got to do it again.
After the first game that theywin, they get ready for like the

They've got to flip his carover again and Jamal and Andre
are standing out there hey,that's my quarterback.
And they start shooting his.
They're like oh, is that yourcar?
Speaker 3 (14:32):
And like the NFL guy is like laughing guy's like

Speaker 2 (14:57):
They're walking in, they go.
Shane man, how's your back,your shoulder, feeling okay?
Speaker 3 (15:01):
What's that smell?
It's like yams Yams.
Oh, because after the firstpractice, the crazy cheerleader
who the two of them have obviousattraction, she's driving him
home and he's holding on Fordear life Because she's driving
Like on the wrong side Of theroad On sidewalks.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
She doesn't know what brakes are.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
And Keanu Reeves is just like.
This is more dangerous thandoing John Wick.
But the replacements have theirfirst game and it doesn't go
well.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
They win, don't they?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
No, they lose the first game, because the sumo
wrestler is like raw eggsrelentlessly and they're like
arguing and pushing each otherin the huddle about who's
standing in whose spot.
The sumo wrestler guy throws upand then they're all about to
start throwing up.
Orlando Jones throws up.
It's like all right, everybodyshift over and they're getting
like delay, game, delay, game,delay game.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Well they say shift.
They all just put their armsaround each other and then
they're like fast, step Allright, left on two, One, two and
they're like what the hell arethey doing?
Speaker 3 (16:04):
And Jimmy McGinty, it's like it's the first thing
they've done as a team.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Let him go, let him go.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
They end up kind of coming back.
But Shane Falco sees a pendingblitz, calls the audible and
falls short of the winningtouchdown, and then he is
scolded by Jimmy McGinty yeah,jimmy McGinty, for winners
always want the ball when thegame's on the line.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Which made me think but didn't he do what he's
supposed to do?
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Yeah, he kind of.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
That means that he took the ball because he wanted
to win.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Yeah, maybe it was like a cautionary tale.
You shouldn't get the ball whenyou want to win.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Yeah.
So the boys, they go out tocommiserate at a bar about their
loss when the NFL players showup?
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Of course they do.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
And they start insulting the deft tight end.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
And giving him the business.
And then Shane Falco tries likeseparate him and the NFL
quarterback punches Shane Falcoand like all the players about
to like fight and he's likestarts separating him.
And then he sees Danny Batemanshow up because during practice
he tried to kill Falco becausehe had on a red shirt goes.
I just see red and I just loseit and he's like standing there
(17:16):
with a cowboy hat on or asombrero.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
It's not even on, it's like on his back, it's just
on his back.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
And he's holding a bottle of Don Julio and he's
like, hey, baby.
And he's like, yeah, he goes.
Remember what we said about Red, forget it.
He goes, okay, and he just goes.
And Keanu Reeves just decks thequarterback in the face and as
he spins, he gets spear tackledby Jon.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Favreau.
Well then you have Jamal, who'slike not fazed by any of it.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
He's sitting there drinking at the bar and they
bump into him and he just goesand stares at the dude, grabs
him, puts him on the bar andruns him down like the whole bar
, knocking everything over andbreaking stuff while yelling at
him, and the whole time OrlandoBloom's hiding behind the
jukebox.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Orlando Jones.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I mean, yeah, orlando Jones, two completely different
people.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
My bad.
It'd be a wow movie if OrlandoBloom was in it.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
The leg, the leg is like going like come on, come on
, come on to some guy, he goeshold it Bow.
And he kicks him in the ballslike as hard as he can and drops
the guy, looks at him, goeslet's play football, and then
kicks him in the face and knockshim out.
And then the cops show up andall the replacements get
arrested and not the NFL players.
Then they do their dance in thecell Because Orlando Jones is
(18:28):
going crazy.
He's like, oh, that fight.
It's like, oh yeah, I saw youhiding behind the jukebox.
Clifford Franklin.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Clifford.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Franklin is his name in the movie.
And then they all start bondingwhile singing I Will Survive by
Gloria Gaynor, and they're alllike doing, like dancing,
including the convict guy andDanny Bateman, showing a sign of
mutual respect now and growingtheir personal relationships.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
They're coming together amidst adversity.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
They're all dancing.
Then Jimmy McGinty comes downand they're all like walking off
.
Orlando Jones and the deaf guyare still dancing and they have
to like grab him.
And then they have to turn andgrab the deaf guy because he
doesn't know.
And they're all like, and it'sjust like, if there's any
fighting on this team, it's likethis is not going to be tiring,
we're not going to have anothernight like this, and they're
(19:16):
all like, okay's like let's getout of here, and then they start
bonding and playing betterfootball and they start winning
with the help of strippers.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Yeah, there's like one play where, like they're, I
think, they're trying to drawthem all side or something, but
basically the the opposing teamis on offense, they're getting
down, they're getting ready tosay hut, they look over and the
girls are just all grinding oneach other and then you see all
the football players just turnand look.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Like the whole offensive line's head just goes.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Even the ref is like on accident, blowing the whistle
.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
And there's just some dude in the audience like
losing it.
He's like yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
And there's like kids and like moms are covering
their eyes and the kid's like no, I don't want to see this One
of the troopers, slaps the otherone on the butt and all of a
sudden you see the quarterbackgo huh and the defense just goes
pancakes.
Yeah, the center snaps the balland nobody else moves except
for the defense.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
But the coach is losing it.
He's getting mad.
He's just like did you see that?
That one smacked the otherone's butt?
He's like get those people outof here.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
it's like he's like it is pretty funny.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
But also a love story starts to start between the
head cheerleader and Shane Falcowho literally tells him.
I don't date football playerswhile they go out to the bar
that she also owns and runswhile she's the head cheerleader
and kicks people out, kicks outregulars.
So the two of them can betogether, which is redonkulous,
redonkulous.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
And then you also find out Nigel is kind of in
debt with loan sharks.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Yeah, with some shady characters who are watching in
Europe and see him on TV andthey're like huh.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Well, no, they're in the bar watching something and
they just happened to see him onthe TV and they're like wait a
minute.
You actually see like the clipof him smoking a cigarette.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
What's great is for football fans?
It's John Madden and PatSummerall.
We used to do Monday nightfootball and, like all, like the
profile games of the Super Bowlor the announcers in the movie.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Very similar to to how Major League did it.
What was?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
the guy's name.
It was baseball, I don't knowOkay.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
I'm mad, I'm forgetting, because he just
passed away.
Baseball Tennis when are we at?
Where are we at?
Where are we at?
They have a meeting after thegame or the next day at a Chuck
Talk with McGinty.
Is it rain?
Oh yeah, it is rain.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Okay, I thought I heard something.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
I was like what is that sound?
I saw lightning outside.
I was like it's raining.
Huh.
Where they have their fears,their fears, where they talk
about their fears.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
What's I remember?
Speaker 3 (21:57):
John.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Faber's fears something silly.
Was it clowns or something Ican't remember?
Speaker 3 (22:02):
No it was Clifford Franklin's Orlando Jones.
He's like spiders, he's like Idon't know.
Spiders are pretty scaryBecause they're all kind of like
yeah, those are like, I don'tlike that.
And then Shane Falco says hisis quicksand.
It's like you keep strugglingand struggling.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Yeah, he means it as a metaphor though.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
Yeah, it's very metaphorical and they're all
like, damn, that's some deep,but it brings them even closer
together.
And then the next game, againstSan Diego.
They fall behind again but areable to come together and rally
after a 65-yard field goal bytheir Welsh kicker, Nigel.
Nigel and win the game, whichis very nice.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
What's like the NFL record 66?
Speaker 3 (22:42):
yards.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
That's the record, or 68 yards.
It might be even further thanthat.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
now I don't think anyone's gone to 70.
No, I know it's in the 60s.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
I know they've attempted some from the 70s in
the 70-yard range.
They had the kickoff kicker outthere kicking the field goal.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
I think the record is 65 or 66.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
It's in the 60s, but I think they've tried 70s.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
It might be 68.
That's like no one's gone to 70.
Okay, as far as I know, that'sa long way.
Yeah, let alone accurately yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
And then Shane Falco and the head cheerleader meet at
a bar again and they share apassionate kiss.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
And then they win another game, after they nearly
lose to Phoenix but win on acouple of improbable plays.
The sumo wrestler gets the ball, oh yeah, and he catches it and
goes holy and they're like runand the guards are.
And goes holy and they're likerun and the guards are like
follow me and they're justknocking people senseless.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
He has like four or five guys jump on his back and
he just carries them to the endzone.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Yeah, because the guy's like jump on his back and
the announcer's just like I lovewatching a fat guy run and the
big man scores.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Because the helmet looks ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
It looks like his head's actually bigger than the
helmet.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
They use napkins for cheek pads.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
They come back to Washington and the owner tells
Jimmy McGinty that Eddie Martell, the actual quarterback,
crossed the picket line and sohas all of the Dallas football
team who they're about to betheir next opponent, and that
Eddie Martell's going to startand not Shane Falco, breaking
the compromise and the promise.
(24:33):
And he wants to quit on thespot, but he refuses.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Just refuses.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Well, he tells it and he gives in, and he tells Falco
that he has heart Martel lacks.
And then when Falco gives theteam the news, they're
disheartened and they give him afarewell toast and he stands up
the head cheerleader on anotherdate, aw, and he goes back to
scrubbing barnacles.
That's his true passion.
Barnacle scrubber.
So in the first half of thegame, eddie Martell severely
(25:03):
clashes with the replacementplayers, blaming them for his
mistakes and smugly ignoringMcGinty's play calls.
They trail 17-0 at the half.
And then, while they're allbeing mad and upset, shane Falco
sees it on TV.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
And then Shane Falco sees it on TV.
Remember when the water boysshowed up at halftime After Mug
Dogs went to Super?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Bowl.
And then Shane Falco walks inand Jim McGinty looks down and
goes that whole took you so long, suit up.
And then Martell's just like oh, I'm the quarterback, I won two
Super Bowls.
And then they beat the crap outof him or something, they throw
him out of the locker room andthey're like get out of here.
(25:41):
And then Shane Falco ralliesthe team back Within a field
goal.
Right, yeah, to a field goal.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
But Nigel has to because he sees the swarthy guys
like the long-shirt people arelike standing on the sidelines,
but he basically has to throwthe game for them, yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
And he's like crying, like tearing up Because if he
doesn't do he's gonna lose hispub and falco's the place kicker
holder, yeah, and um, he's likeall right, he's like I got it
and like he they go to do thething and he takes the snap and
just takes off running.
But nigel runs and does thewhole kick and like launches
himself and falls, like breakshis arm, yeah, or like breaks
(26:15):
his shoulder something yeah andthen falco runs and scores the
winning touchdown.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Yep, wow, he's a hero , he's a hero.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
We can be heroes just for one day Did he reconcile.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Yes, he did.
Yeah, you know he did.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Kisses the cheerleader.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Happy ending 100% happy ending.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
But they never.
That's the end of the movie.
They don't, you know, theydon't get to go play in the
playoffs, they just that was theend of their career.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
That was all four games.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
They got a second chance to come back and play pro
football and the narrative isGene Hackman going.
Like you know, there might be acontract for some of them.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
It's, like you know, an offer.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
For just a little.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Glory's eternal.
Go back to scrubbing barnacles.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
I always thought you know if I could play football?
And now I think, god, if I gothit one time I'd just be on the
floor.
Yeah, my body couldn't takethat punishment anymore.
Nope.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
You're just the meme of Peter Griffin laying there
just like twisted.
I'm like that.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
And then he'd be like yeah, if somebody hit me as
hard as the people in the NFLand college hit nowadays, I'd
have to shoot them, because Iget hit by a truck.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I just retire.
Just put me in a chair andleave me.
