A movie? Well, that sounds like a novel idea. I think we would have to focus heavily on the relationship between my father and myself. My pops was the reason I grew up with football running through my veins and he is the reason I am where I am today. My old man spent much of his free time training my brothers and me; when he could get out of the factory he would make sure we were doing our school work but once that was done it was time to hit the gridiron. I think a movie with such a good fatherly figure would be a big success, my dad was a single father because my mother passed away giving birth to my youngest brother and he didn't skip a beat raising the three of us. This movie would be a drama that tugs on the heartstrings as it follows my father and the amount of stress he was under that I was too young to understand growing up and the breaking point that eventually cost him his life. Only when my father died from his heart attack did my brothers and I understand just how hard it was to raise a family while trying to survive and that led us to fight hard and scrape to get where we are.

Owen Taylor hasn’t exactly had what most people would call an exciting life. In fact, outside of football, he’s had a pretty boring and “normal” life (except for that one time he was arrested for punching a man in Target for stealing his daughter’s Tickle Me Elmo…. But we don’t talk about that). When you look at his life on the football field though, things really start to get interesting, and might actually make for an ok movie.
Coming out of high school he was just a 3-star recruit, but worked he his ass off in the weight room and was named All Big 10 twice at defensive end for the University of Nebraska. Despite his success in college, he wasn’t a very highly touted prospect and was selected in the third round. His second season in the NSFL he was named to his first Pro Bowl, but then things took a turn. He was approached by the Hawks GM about making a move to running back, and Taylor Jumped at the opportunity to try something he hadn’t done since high school. Taylor went on an epic tear following the position switch, being named Breakout Player of the Year in S3, RB of the Year a record 4 consecutive seasons, and led the league in rushing yards in each of those seasons. He currently sits at second overall in rushing yards behind legend Reg Mackworthy.

Seer Zephyrous has been offered a movie deal from netflix to cover the life a a normal athlete in the DSFL. Fortunately for netflix, Seer has a special power to see the future. He can't always tell exactly what will happen, but his divination powers are there and real. It's what makes him so good at blocking players as a full back. He can predict where they will be and when to be there.
The documentary starts off and Seer goes to the local gas station and buys a lotto ticket. The camera men are pretty skeptical and allow this "delusion" to happen. 3 days later during the drawing. Seer wins the grand prize of 30 million. They are stunned. He deposits 50 grand in to his bank account and donates the rest to an oddly specific charity. After a few more weeks that charity makes a stunning cancer break through. The camera men are pretty baffled seeing the mundane day to day life of a boring reserved college student and then him randomly doing the impossible. This finally culminated with Seer telling the camera men to not follow him to campus on a specific day, and that he can bring a camera to film himself. He positioned himself behind a pillar near the library and that's when a student showed up with a firearm and was about to begin firing. Seer knocked him out with a tackle from behind and police were already arriving based on an anonymous tip. Netflix decided it was in the best interest to keep this documentary secret because this information could cause a lot of problems. 272 words
It’s generally not a good idea to go to professional athletes to star in blockbuster movies. For every Dwayne Johnson, you get a Hulk Hogan. But where athletes do become valuable is in documentaries. The story of a kid who started out with nothing making it big and achieving their dream is pretty universally compelling. I’ve never been interested in or able to act at all, but I think I’m a pretty intelligent, eloquent guy. So speaking about my life and my experiences is not something I’m particularly shy about, and I take the opportunity when I get it.
I was approached by a small film studio about making a documentary centered around me and my life, and I jumped at the chance. Strictly speaking, it’s about my experience being a Japanese-American playing professional football, as there haven’t been very many of us in the past. It also touches on the popularity (or lack thereof) of American football in Japan and abroad, and this is something that I’ve thought a lot about, so I didn’t mind giving my opinions. Overall, the experience of shooting in a studio was something I wasn’t used to, and it was more arduous than I imagined. Still, I think the finished product will be a good one, and I’m excited for its limited release, as I think it will educate people and give insight into professional sports, globalism, and minority experiences.

The movie would have to start in childhood, with a short clip showing Skinner's first time watching football at five years old, he was watching the Tennessee Volunteers' Kevin Burnett, a linebacker, and said, "He's pretty good."
Well, he tried being a linebacker for awhile, but soon realized that it wasn't the spot for him, and this would be an early arc of the movie, Skinner's transition to playing on the edge, even if he was the best player on the team at linebacker, he knew what his spot, and by the time he was playing in middle school college scouts were showing up to the occasional game. Of course, in high school, he really exploded, pulling away from the competition and beating everyone that was thrown in front of him with speed, with power, or really, any way that he wanted to. Eventually, he earned a good number of division one scholarships, but there was never a question in his mind as to where he wanted to play, committing to the University of Tennessee in his junior year of high school. Later, we would see his short, but productive collegiate career, followed by the personal issues that kept him from being drafted in the DSFL, and, finally, his notification that the Portland Pythons were picking him up on waivers.

Avon Blocksdale is going to be in a movie and is going to be a bio pic about his life and his career. Given that he is the star quarterback of one of the premier teams of the national simulation football league it is not much a shock that he is going to have a movie made about his life. Avon though specifically has had a very interesting life and career. Avon was a star QB in high school but then he suffered a tragic injury and was unable to throw ever again. He then made the shocking and curious switch to offensive line. He was very good in high school, starring in bed stuy's boys and girls high school. This led him to be able to be recruited to Penn State where he was very good there. The movie is going to follow of that as well in the NSFL. Where Avon was a great O Lineman and then a converted quarterback. He has made numerous pro bowls in a row so people like to watch him.
