Enjoyed it

I suppose I may be a little bias since Quantrell Bishop (Jonathan Hamm) is my step-son, but I really enjoyed the movie. Just one "Goof" in the movie......no major. If I recall correctly, when Paul meets Philadelphia Phil in the bar, he tells him that his name is Mark. However in the restroom seen a few moments later, Philadelphia Phil calls him Paul. Hmmmm I may have missed this one, but I almost sure that it happened this way. All in all the movie was a good mixture of humor, and the characters played well off of each other. I like the way the Director managed to create the realism of the football scenes with the actors in the parking lot. Very creative
