Let's revisit "Any Given Sunday"

[El Bombi]

Only a CAC would think this movie is accurate to the real NFL.

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

YOU’RE A GODDAMN QUARTERBACK!

Low key if they gave Jim Brown more scenes he might have stole it from Pacino

 

[zayk35]

Had the DVD and soundtrack on repeat. Stuff of legend, cast was amazing. Ahead of its time.......anyone remember Playmakers?

Yep Playmakers was on its way to being a great show...and once again the NFL stepped in to hate

Mmmmm explain why sir

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

With the news of the Patriots once again doing some cheating ass shyt... this time trying to cheat a player out of money, using some made up bullshyt from a team doctor...


I think it's time to talk about the REALIST "NFL" type football movie ever made. It really got shytted on at the time, cause nobody believed this type of stuff was going on. The NFL wouldn't let them use their license because they thought it was too negative and too much fairy tale.. Come to find out.. EVERYTHING in this movie was absolutely true

Super Bowl winning coach being pushed out the door for the new OC.... check

Backup QB doing a little something while the vet kills himself to get his spot back.... check

Players getting drugged up together before games... check

NFL lying about concussions and almost costing people their lives... check

Owners doing underhanded deals to improve their personal bank accounts... check

Teammates fighting each other in house... check

Coaches made to play players they don't even like, cause they sell tickets.... check

1,000 a night hookers, way before instagram... check

Dudes taking all sorts of extra "shots" to keep them on the field.... check

Offensive lines not blocking for QBs they don't like.... check

add on....




but i don't think there's every been a realer movie about the PROS... and it was years before the internet and tv blew up with the 24/7 access... people were seeing this movie and thinking it was all fairytales

college sports always has something like this tho... i wish they'd do one about the NBA or something like it.. that was that in depth about the off the field shyt

Any Given Sunday was basically the 90s Cowboys

But yeah, that was the NFL.

 

[threattonature]

I still love this movie. This is one movie where I think the non-actors added a realness to the movie. shyt like Lawrence Taylor and LL just carried that crazy energy about em. Jamie killed his part. The mental battle between the coach trying to game the player and the player fighting back against it. Just a dope ass movie.

Any Given Sunday was basically the 90s Cowboys

But yeah, that was the NFL.

Cameron Diaz character was based off of Jerry Jones.

 

[Moesha’s Overbearing Dad]

I rocked with everything about this movie until it came to them Dallas Knights uniforms ..... however


If Jamie Foxx really could put that spiral on the ball

 

[feelosofer]

Borderline classic as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

Inflate yo' chest, get Met-Rx

 

[Rell Lauren]

 

[BlueHeffner]

Cameron Diaz was fine af in this flick

 

[Fuzzy_Dunlap]

Only thing that really bothered me about the movie was that T.O. Only appeared in the championship game. Went thru the whole movie with bill bellamy being the star WR. TO comes in and dominates in the championship game.

 

[Dwight Howard]

Only a CAC would think this movie is accurate to the real NFL.

It's extremely accurate. Probably not enough
