DeNiro To play Lombardi? This should be hilarious. So the famous quote from Lombardi "What the hell`s going on out here?" will be changed to "What the fuck is going on out here"?

Who is gonna play Bart Starr and "The Golden Boy"??

Tobey Maguire could pull off Bart. I keep asking, who's going to play Jerry Kramer? Will Fuzzy get his own cameo? These are important questions, people!

I am way more concerned about Eric Roth as director. While the man has written some damn fine scripts, he's never directed anything. And directing is a whole different game than screenwriting.

reading the script right now, can't give away too much... the climax of the film is the Ice Bowl, and I think you and Corey could be perfect for Freezing Packer Fan #1 and Freezing Packer Fan #2.

And, who exactly will play Max McGee?
Will they show all the womanizing, 60's Style?
What about his famous meeting with Curly Lambeau?
Oh hey... what about Jimmy Ringo?
