NFL World Reacts To The Sean Payton Movie Trailer
On Tuesday, Netflix released the trailer for Home Team, a comedy movie starring Kevin James as New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton.
The film, which also stars former teen idol Taylor Lautner, is based on Payton’s 2012 season, during which he was suspended by the NFL due to the Bountygate scandal. With his time off, Payton coached his son’s youth football league team.
To be quite honest, I’m not sure why this was even made into a move, and it doesn’t sound like I’m the only one who feels that way.
The reviews from around the sports world are mixed, to say the least.
this is a looser based on a real story than paranormal activity https://t.co/D57mm31ZG5

there's a lot to unpack here, but also having a punchline in the first 15 seconds of a woman who works for the team not knowing who roger goodell is was quite the choice https://t.co/8ptD1Dp4QH

Payton discussed the project, which will be released on Netflix on January 28, earlier this year.
“Look, it’s inspired by a true story,” Payton said, via NOLA.com. “I’ve read the script and gotten to know Adam Sandler and the Happy Madison production team, and I know that he and Kevin James do a great job on everything they tackle. So, it’s in their hands now, but it’s a unique and entertaining storyline, and we just have to wait for the results. But, admittedly, it’s kind of fun.”
If nothing else, this movie should be “interesting” at least.
