 The Replacements was a movie about a pro football leauge that goes on strike and the team hires replacement players. They go out and get a bunch of people who had football experience to play ball starring Gene Hackman as coach Jimmy Mcginty he goes out and gets former college stand out Shane Falco (Keeanu Reeves) who has had terrible games in his past and hasn’t been able to recover. Showing up was half the battle for these guys the other half was getting along with each other. The wind up getting an ex Irish Soccer player Nigel Gruff who has gambling problems, Andre and Jamal Johnson who are two big black brothers whom are the best offensive lineman well when there together with out each other they couldn’t make it, Danny Bateman (Jon Faverau) is a SWAT team officer who had three consecutive tours in the army and a hell of an attitude, Earl Wilkerson whom was  in jail and was put on work release to play under an assumed name, Jumbo who is a big fat Asian man who eats a dozen hard boiled eggs before the game as a snack and by the way he’s the center, Wide receiver Clifford Franklin who was sweeping the floors at a quick e mart and was discovered for his speed for chasing down candy bar thieves. These characters blend into a team unit and are now professionals. When they are able to get the team back into contention for the playoffs the owner Edward O’neil (Jack Warden) tells Mcginty to start their star quarterback that crossed the picket line instead of Falco. Now this team who hates this star quarterback have to try to get a team they will not be playing for next week into the playoffs. This Movie is so funny. It’s a crossover movie in my opinion. It’s not a true football movie and it’s not a true comedy but it’s really good. The first clip is my favorite scene in the movie

This movie is one you don’t have to think about whats going on you can just watch it and laugh. The movie has cameos by Al Micheals and John Madden. Why do you ask I put this movie up today well All this week FOOTBALL THEME WEEK on STUPID FUNNY MOVIE ROLES.  AS MANY OF YOU KNOW I AM A PITTSBURGH STEELERS FAN AND I AM SYKED FOR THE PLAYOFFS SUNDAY 4:30 PM ON CBS STEELERS VS CHARGERS.

My view on the playoffs I know this is a movie blog but hey I love sports too. The Steelers/Chargers game is the perfect scenario for Pittsburgh. San Diego my not dress Ladanian Tomlinson and if that’s the case the steelers run defense will lock on Sproles and effectively make Phillip Rivers try to throw on the top defense in the NFL. I’m glad that they aren’t playing the ravens because they are dangerous now and whoever wins that game vs the Titans is gonna be hurting that next week.

My Predictions this week

Steelers Over Chargers

Titans Over Ravens

Eagles Over Giants

AND MY SURPRISE OF THE WEEK

TAKE THEM CARDINALS OVER THE PANTHERS WARNERS GONNA HAVE A BIG WEEK

Til TOMMOROW REMEMBER

PAIN HEALS  CHICK’S DIG SCARS  GLORY LAST’S FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
