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.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
