Bootlegger Sports- Sports Humor Blog —
... If you make it a point not to see a movie next year, make it a point not to see “The Xbox Kid”, written by New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton.

... idea over to a professional screen writer to flesh it out. All I have to say is, Sean Payton might actually be onto something with this. I guess now I can peddle my NBA 2K9 movie to Dreamworks.
