My foremost memory of this film is Nick Nolte's character trying to get out of bed on Monday morning. He's been around the block many times and his body has taken an incredible toll. He is a pass receiver and when we see game film, we see him getting hit on nearly every play, even when a pass was not thrown his way. Mac Davis, known more for his singing, is the quarterback of the Cowboys, who are the darlings of the whole country (personally they always made me sick). He is the prototype of Dandy Don Meredith. He is everything that a child's image of a football player should not be. I can't really get into what happens except it is all about what an NFL player is into. Of course, in order to play at a high level, the league looked the other way as steroids were pumped, Novocain was injected, pills were popped, and wild parties and drinking abounded.
score 8/10
