Sports situations and their respective real life movie casts  

Monday, October 25, 2010

We'll go ahead and chalk this up to "not going to be a running post title," or how about just "needs a new gimmicky post title?"



From last Friday's BSG mail bag column. Be it Conan or Bill Simmons, if you can turn anything into a "movie," and then name me a cast that is either funny because they look alike or (in this case) funny because of the situation you can envision Hollywood trying to force down our collective gullet, then dang it, I'm going to laugh. Oh yeah, forgot to mention that if you don't follow/like sports (nfl for this edition) this will probably make less than zero sense to you. Enjoy! (100% more music in my next post...promise)


Doesn't the Deion Branch/Tom Brady reunion feel like the plot of a romantic comedy? The way everyone's been talking about him, Branch would probably be played by Jennifer Aniston.

SG: I'd rather go younger and grab Katherine Heigl. She plays Branch; John Krasinski plays Brady; Megan Fox plays Moss; Aubrey Plaza plays Wes Welker; and Tim Allen plays Bill Belichick. The movie would definitely be called "Second Catch," and it would definitely end with Brady and Branch practicing timing patterns on a football field as the sun sets and some lame Feist song plays.
