Bingo! And during the 2009 season only two opposing players left the field and didn't return and neither were offensive players (the defense supposed had the bounties) and both of them suffered non-contact injuries. Pretty sorry execution of a Bounty System I would say, right.

Wait and see. People thought Tom Hanks was nothing but a silly comedic actor based upon his early roles. The same with Robin Williams. The same with Jim Carrey.

Kevin James to play Sean Payton in movie based on 2012 Bountygate suspension

Is Kevin going to lose weight for the part?

Would he need to? I'm not sure if the weight has anything to do with what they will be trying to convey. Hopefully it has more to do with the improper railroading using false claims. Queen Latifah could play the Payton role and that aspect wouldn't change.

I’m guessing it will be very loosely based on Payton. Probably be some goofy-ass movie about a disgraced coach having to go coach a kids team where all kind of wacky hijinks take place a la The Mighty Ducks.

I don't really see grit and determination when I see Kevin James. He's not stern enough to suit me. I just don't see him putting Payton's presence on the field to create that distinctive impression. It'll probably be geared towards kids. I'm not sure what market they are looking at?

However Michael Keaton who played Mr. mom was the best Batman, so you never know.

It is based upon the events surrounding the false accusations and the resulting suspension from what I am getting. Absolutely not a kids film.

It is easier for a comedic actor to do a serious part than it is for a dramatic actor to fill a comedy role.

I was listening to a Joe Rogan podcast talk about James the other day. Apparently he’s quite into MMA. Rogan said he was legit. Pretty high praise coming from Joe.
