Just watched it. Highly recommended.

Pretty good is accurate. Kind of hokey.

Pretty good is accurate. Kind of hokey.

This is what I’m expecting…decent movie, but hokey and overly emotional

Now the real question: should Warner be in the Hall of Fame? Should two seasons (albeit two of the greatest passing seasons ever), make him a hall of famer? He had two other pro bowl seasons, but had a pretty pedestrian career outside of those two big ones (2 MVP awards and 1 Super Bowl win).

I think so. Those two seasons stand out even today as amazing seasons. They were truly groundbreaking, and must-watch sports. And the rest of his career wasn’t awful. Of course, I didn’t have a vote.

Took the cardinals to the super bowl too

Live in St.Louis - Kurt is King here - even though he now lives in Arizona - still does charity work locally

I saw it also and really enjoyed it. No doubt that he is the greatest undrafted player ever.

I certainly wasn't around to see it, but I feel like Warner may fall under the "Gale Sayers exception." No longevity, but so spectacular in a few seasons that you have to give him the nod.

Are there any scenes of him firing groceries into paper sacks when he was a bag boy ?

Yes, seemed like he was more a stock guy in the movie, stocking Dan Marino Wheaties boxes, but several grocery scenes, a cool scene near the end is his Sports illustrated being sold there

 

[Neanderthal]

Isn’t he in the HOF?

 

[Gamecock Jacque]

Isn’t he in the HOF?

Since 2017.

I enjoyed the movie and recommend it. It is a great story. I lived in Iowa, shopped at Hy-Vee, and saw Northern Iowa play in the UNI Dome. I liked the "Iowa" scenes.
