Big Turk 6,776 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) Just watching this movie again and Brandon always cracks me up with his cameo... Browns GM: "Give me an hour to think about it" Brandon: "We'll give you half that" and hangs up Too bad he wasn't like that in real life...we might not have missed the playoffs 17 years under his watch... Also...I had NO IDEA that the Black Panther was Vontae Mack... Edited January 3 by Big Turk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rigotz 958 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Shocker that he jumped at the opportunity to be in a movie. The guy is a complete slimeball and I’m shocked he stayed around for so long. On a related note... crazy that we had media leaks in our front office for two decades until Ol’ Russ left. 🤔 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beast 5,711 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Originally, wasn’t Costner supposed to be the GM of the Buffalo Bills? Something fell through with that. ...or am I completely wrong? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The speech the radio guy makes at the beginning of the movie is just as applicable to WNY as it is to Cleveland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So they moved it to Cleveland where the cost of production was cheeper 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Something fell through with that. ...or am I completely wrong? You’re correct. NYS wouldn’t work out a tax break issue to film there and Ohio jumped at the chance. You’re politicians at work. The story was written with the Bills in mind. Vic talked about it several years ago on Press Coverage, a show on Saturdays on NFLR. I also read the story in one of the newspapers up there. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My favorite part of unrealism is when he gets the Jacksonville GM to trade him the 6th overall pick for 3 #2's... I mean the Bills gave up 2 #2's just to move up to 7th with TB and swapped firsts. Who the hell is trading the 6th overall pick for 3 #2's?? That doesn't even come close to adding up. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

May Day 10 1,519 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) Napolis Really though. They should have shot him into the sun no later than 2009, probably earlier. Absolute toxicity. Wilson was very comfortable with him but he ran a very dysfunctional football organization. It's no coincidence this guy hasn't sniffed any opportunity since he was figured out Edited January 3 by May Day 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
