I don't plan on seeing the remake of "The Longest Yard," but I have
seen plenty of those promo commercials for it. Would someone please
explain to me how Hollywood has the nerve to cast a short, chubby,
out-of-shape nerd like Adam Sandler as some kind of football star?
Sandler must have really been picked on in high school, because he
obviously has a stipulation that every movie he acts in must portray
him as some kind of "tough guy." As far as I know, he has punched out
somebody in every movie he's made, and now he will apparently get the
best of much bigger men, many of them ex-NFL players, on the football
field. I saw a brief clip of Michael Irvin (whom I guess is one of
those ex-players in the movie) telling an interviewer that "Adam can
play." Uh... sure. If some uncoordinated little white guy can play
football against ex-NFL stars, then why can't Cade McNown, Luke Staley
and countless others?
