I'm such a sucker for these redemption type movies. At least that's what Amazon has said. It just warms me!

This was the true story about a bartender who's lost his other job as a substitute teacher, and then his wife leaves him. Living in Philly in the mid 70's, everyone's loosing their jobs, and struggling to make ends meet. So like men, they turn to football for escape and inspiration.
Unfortunately their Philly Eagles aren't winning, and now they all feel like bigger losers. Until....

The Eagles have open try outs, and guess who makes it?
The rest, actually the whole movie is pretty predictable, but I knew that going in. It was perfect for today's weather, and with these times being as hard as theirs, it was nice to have some Disney inspiration.
They sure know how to dish that shit out.
Thanx Walt!
