The movie.
I tweeted about this from the Rewatchables account because it's on Netflix, actually, for the next couple days. But 20-year anniversary of this movie in 2024. And it's in the running for one of the best football movies ever. Some people think it might be first. We're going to talk about that and a lot more on the podcast that's going up Monday night.

Coming up, Cousin Sal and I live Sunday night. We're doing it. Let's bring in Pearl Jam. We just watched Washington-Atlanta, and you lost your wise wager, which was you were 13-2 for the season.
You had Washington 24-and-a-half under, which seemed like when Atlanta was about to score in the last minute, you were going to win it. And then Raheem Morris was like, how many timeouts can I take into overtime? Turned out he had the wrong answer and Atlanta blows it. Rollercoaster ride of the game. Washington makes the playoffs. Atlanta is now in a lot of trouble.
