Kevin Costner Is New Browns Gm
-
I hope Kevin Costner is paying attention right now and taking notes. It's crazy how many rumors and unknowns are swirling around reguarding the Cleveland Browns right now. This is a big day for us, tonight we may just turn the corner! Good luck Joe Banner, I'm starting to like you; don't mess it up.

I don't think it has been posted on here yet, but other names have been linked to the movie.
Denis Lear, who most know from his good stand up specials and his lead role in the show Rescue Me, got the part as the Browns head coach. Arian Foster also snagged a spot as an unidentified player. They haven't said if he is going to take the part as a current player for the Browns or if he is going to be a draft prospect.

Bah! There's probably going to be only one good scene in the at the beginning of the movie, when the toothless Pittsburgh Steelers lay a crushing 62-0 pounding on the dawg pound with shots of a dejected crowd leaving the stadium. It'll go downhill from the moment Costner says, we'll never be beaten again...not by those <insert obsenity ladened Steeler retorts here>. Or wait, maybe they'll show James Harrison knocking out the Cleveland fan on the field again...that was a classic. Of course that will have to be avenged in a movie...you just can't let Harrison have that kind of happy moment in a Browns film. I know, Costner can shoot up some roids and kick Harrisons behind in the locker room hallway during half-time of the AFC Championship game. The movie just won't resonate unless Cleveland beats Pittsburgh, in Pittsburgh during the AFC Championship game and you see Steelers fans crying behind the cheering Browns...ah I'm sure everyone will find that to be such a nice fantasy.

Anyone know when this movie is coming out?

Why would anyone give a shit about a now washed up Cincinnati Bengal player?

"YOU WANT THE TRUTH? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!
fade to black.
wonder if it will be a take on the draft room from the past or something set in the future? costner looks nothing like pioli nor heckert or lombardi (except for the hair plugs).
gotta be set for something in the future where his character might actually do something right. if not it'll be a sad ending sorta like 'ol yella'.

Maybe it will be like Moneyball and base on a true story. In the end, Costner gets canned, just like every other Browns GM has since who? Ernie Accorsi?

I'd say the incident is more important. Generally, Hollywood likes to portray a "good guy" and a "bad guy." Unless they are using fictitious football teams, the NFL won't want any particular team being portrayed in too negative a light. So they would have to draw upon some past incidents to present a negative vibe for the Browns opposition. The Steelers are the most likely to be portrayed as enemies, but the Broncos or Ravens could be used. Cleveland really doesn't get that worked up that Baltimore stole their team and it's probably harder to portray the Broncos in a negative light than Pittsburgh. Also, because of Jack Lambert they can give all Steelers that toothless hockey player look.

I suspect that it will be character driven....and esoteric, so there won't be any portrayal much about other teams. There will just be internal demons for Costner to joust with.
