DeNiro will play Lombardi

Love DeNiro.

When I was a kid, a long, long time ago, Ernest Borgnine played Vince Lombardi in a made-for-TV movie.

Today, a guy who doesn't naturally look a whole lot like Lombardi will play the former Packers coach in a theatrical motion picture being development by ESPN Films, Andell Entertainment, and the NFL.

The story focuses on the rivalry between Lombardi and Cowboys coach Tom Landry, and the movie climaxes with the Ice Bowl.

Though DeNiro doesn't naturally look much like Lombardi, it's a safe bet that he'll do whatever he has to do to transform himself into the legendary head coach.

And who knows? Maybe DeNiro's most well-known line will be replaced by a new one.

Meanwhile, the aforementioned Borgnine is still going strong, well into his 90s. He not long ago shared his secret with FOX & Friends.

Best actor EVER! I wouldnt put it past DeNiro to go to a Packers game in character for MNF or something. I also wouldnt be suprised to hear that he coached a few games for some sort of football team just to get a better understanding of the postion.

      DJ Johnson just ticked too many boxes on the warning list. Unpolished/raw at his position, older guy, etc.  Project players don't belong in the top 3 rounds, IMO. Not on teams completely bereft of talent. The Ravens, 49ers, etc of the world can get away with that. It's hard to justify that in the condition our roster usuallu is.

      Trust me, I wasn't either. Just seemed like another TMJ, Mingo, etc. Well.....turns out it was.

      Is Tua our next QB?

      Upper tier backups have good options available.  Also, hitching your bandwagon to a career backup isn't likely to pan out.  Mills is a possibility, but that would have to be a trade. He is under contract through 2026. Same with Lock, under contract through 2026.
