The movie has an all star cast that include Costner, Leary, Jennifer Garner and Frank Langella to name a few. There's a ton of famous walk ons from Roger Goodell to Deion Sanders and Jim Brown.

It also boasts Ivan Reitman, as a producer and director.

Ivan Reltman? Who dat?

He's actually the guy behind a slew of American cinema classics. Animal House (1978), Beethoven (1992) and Beethoven's 2nd (1993).

His directing credits include Meatballs (1979), Stripes (1981) and Ghostbusters (1984), Dave (1993), Twins (1994) and Kindergarten Cop (1990).

Costner was also in a show on, I think, the Paramount network. It was only last year, but I’ve already forgotten the name of it. It was a modern day western in which he played the patriarch cowboy of a very large ranch somewhere out thar.

I watched several episodes. I didn’t think it was very good.

I’ve long thought he was an overrated actor. He had two really good vehicles with Dances with Wolves and Field of Dreams, but pretty boring and one-note as an actor.

It’s alright. Of course anything starring Costner is held back by his general inability to act.

It was mildly entertaining but not overly believable. What team in their right mind would give up three second round picks for the 6th pick in the first round? Even the Jacksonville Jaguars aren’t that dumb.

No neffl, thanks.

I thought “The Untouchables” pretty good. Great score!

Seen it twice (Draft Day) great movie- especially if you’re a die hard NFL fanatic like me!

Saw it a couple years back - fascinating to watch the way the trade scheme unfolds at the end - sort of like the way the guys take down the Duke brothers in “Trading Places” - good movie.....
