NOKW - Any Given Sunday

Here comes the next chapter in our "I'm Okay With, I'm Not Okay With" series (if you don't know what this is, click here for all of the past posts):

Movie:  Any Given Sunday

Basic Plot:  We follow the playoff push of the fictional Miami Sharks led by quarterback Django Unchained.  Also, there is a scene where Al Pacino bangs Jessie Saprano from Saved By The Bell.

I'm Okay With:  The fact that for a movie with such a ridiculous cast this thing was really really mediocre.  The fact that I was shocked at how well Lawrence Taylor acted in this movie, then again acting like a football player with a bunch of concussions probably wasn't that big of a stretch for him.  The fact that the third-string quarterback was clearly better than the back-up and nobody on the team seemed to notice this.  The fact that Willie Beamen was calling his own plays, told not to, proceeded to keep doing it, and nothing came of this.  The fact that a player had an alligator in the locker room.  The fact that a player chainsawed a car in half and nobody was killed over such an act.  The fact that the team doctor blatantly ignored that one of the players was one hit away from dying and even continued to let him play just because that player asked him nicely.  The fact that Al Pacino not only doesn't re-sign with a team he just took to the playoffs, but instead becomes the coach of an expansion team that will suck for years to come and steals his former team's best player and everyone seems fine with that.

I'm Not Okay With:  The fact that Willie Beamen got a music video after only playing in two games for the Sharks.  Two games?!?  The 1985 Chicago Bears had to win a Super Bowl to get a music video (the greatest football-themed music video ever) and Willie "Steamin'" Beamen got one after two games and he didn't even start one of them.  Hell, Tim Tebow was a media god and he didn't get a music video after leading his team to a playoff win (needless to say, Tebow didn't win that game as much as Pittsburgh gave it to him).  Now, I will say that Willie's video (seen below) is pretty awesome, but in what universe do people start producing a thing like that for a player that in all reality is probably just a flash in a pan.  He was the third-string quarterback for a reason.  I could see Willie getting a couple of endorsement deals for putting the Sharks in a position to make the playoffs, but probably not until after they actually made the playoffs and I certainly don't see him getting a music video even if he did make the playoffs.  I am not okay with that.
