neutral · AI labelView post →People who say Draft Day is a bad movie are fronting. Is it a realistic movie? Absolutely not. But is it a good watch? 1000%.
positive · AI labelView post →I saw a video reviewing the movie Draft Day and it called out a bunch of unrealistic things that happen during the movie. But at no point did they call out the most insane thing: a QB from the University of Wisconsin being a potential first overall pick.
neutral · AI labelView post →doing Draft Day at GOOD MOVIE would be so funny
neutral · AI labelView post →I love the football movie "Draft Day." I really have no idea why. Do you have any movies where you don't even understand why you like it so much?
positive · AI labelView post →watching Draft Day for the first time good movie but there is no way in hell Jacksonville does that trade 😅
positive · AI labelView post →Anybody else watched the documentary film Draft Day twice this month?
neutral · AI labelView post →- friday night lights rewatch with @rodger.bsky.social - an annual DRAFT DAY rewatch. one upload per year on the day of the draft - a review of the entire metal gear series in release order (i’ve never played them) - an attempt to watch/rank every single netflix original teen movie/show
neutral · AI labelView post →It's like the Draft Day movie!!! They wake up with the top pick and have all day to figure it out.
neutral · AI labelView post →So it turns out YouTube has a rich vein of 'This didn't light anything on fire but its a completely serviceable movie' movies up for legal and free. Draft Day, which I think I last watched a decade ago, is a fun time! It wants to be Moneyball but doesn't land as hard. Still decent, though.
neutral · AI labelView post →I think Draft Day might be the best terrible football movie ever made.
neutral · AI labelView post →My only interest in the NFL draft is that line in the movie Draft Day when Kevin Costner says “Nobody tells me who to draft. I’m going ROGUE”
neutral · AI labelView post →Happy Draft Day! Today's podcast doesn't have anything to do with the 2025 NFL Draft! Instead, @andybehrens.bsky.social and I will re-draft the skill weapons from the *2024* Draft, to illustrate the point that nobody knows anything! Plus Bucky Irving deep-dive film review. (link is 👇)
neutral · AI labelView post →The last movie Ivan Reitman directed, Draft Day, will be streaming on Netflix next week.
neutral · AI labelView post →the most unrealistic part of Draft Day, isnt the insane trade for an interior linebacker, something thatll 100% get Sonny Weaver Jr fired. its the movie lying to my face saying the Wisconsin Badgers could produce a first overall pick quarterback prospect. get real
neutral · AI labelView post →I can't wait to get home and watch Draft Day (the movie) before Draft Day (the event) starts. It will be a predictor of how the Lions are going to end up with two of the top 7 players in the draft for the low price of *checks notes* their next three 2nd round picks.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching a play my coworker is in and I gotta say, if I were selling this play to me, I also wouldn’t have told me this play was written by the guy who wrote the noted Ken Costner movie Draft Day.
neutral · AI labelView post →Draft Day is an incredible example of a movie that mostly sucks that I can watch all the way through many times
neutral · AI labelView post →To be clear: I have never seen 'Draft Day,' on account of my understanding that it's a pretty bad movie with a child's understanding of how sports work.
negative · AI labelView post →All four pods are posted and linked below. Happy Draft Day! I'm about to cue up the movie!
neutral · AI labelView post →Seahawks draft expert Jared Stranger rates Draft Day movie for realism HOW REAL IS SEATTLE TRADING DOWN FROM PICK 1?
neutral · AI labelView post →okay, so my understanding has always been that 'Draft Day' was a pretty bad movie with a child's understanding of how sports work, ala 'Trouble With The Curve.' So, is everyone watching it ironically, or is this actually a movie people really like *on its merits*?
neutral · AI labelView post →Did a double feature tonight of Moneyball (which I’d seen before) and Draft Day. Obviously Moneyball’s the superior movie (more a character study than a sports film). But Draft Day was pretty darn fun. Intense Costner performance and a solid cast
positive · AI labelView post →The very concept of Jeffries die-hards flummoxes me. That's like being a passionate fan of the movie Draft Day.
neutral · AI labelView post →Time for Steph and my annual rewatch of the movie Draft Day during the week of the actual NFL Draft.
neutral · AI labelView post →The only believable part of Draft Day is that the Browns would do some absurdly dumb shit, so they got that down. They somehow mixed sports movie with Hallmark movie and The Newsroom.
neutral · AI labelView post →Draft Day (2014) i haven’t quite finished it, but i am pretty confident in saying that this might be the worst football film ever made.
negative · AI labelView post →Chadwick Boseman in Draft Day always fucking gets me man. And he's fucking huge in the film. Mega ripped.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just feels weird when football adjacent films don't have any ball-knowers as consultants. Like Draft Day would be a better movie if the trade compensations were reasonable- a thing that the screenwriter could have done.
neutral · AI labelView post →YouTube really wants me to watch three-minute clips of the 2014 film DRAFT DAY. it appears to be about Kevin Costner and the What's In Your Wallet lady having a romantic relationship that's deeply affected by whether the Browns are good at football. Good luck to them
neutral · AI labelView post →NFL fans deserve a better movie than Draft Day. I watched it again to be sure. It’s the Bo Callahan of football movies, down to the bland song during the closing credits. (@4whomjbelltolls.bsky.social made some great points during Trivia Night Live.) Maybe I’ll add to this post later…
negative · AI labelView post →football was my field for 25 years, so I say "Draft Day" hahahahahaaha, nope, that movie was a steaming pile of garbage. There has not been a perfect football movie yet but "Remember The Titans" and "We Are Marshall" are close.
negative · AI labelView post →Hollywood needs to make more sports movies. Not just because I want to see more of them, but because they're a reliable vehicle for future movie stars. It's an investment! Chadwick Boseman did The Express, 42 and Draft Day before hitting it big! Chris Pratt wasn't a movie star until Moneyball!
neutral · AI labelView post →BEST MOVIE 12 What's the best movie by... Ivan Reitman? To me, it's gotta be 'Draft Day'. Who knew this would be the last movie he ever directed back in 2014? It's probably one of his least famous work, but I just love how engaging it is. I mean, it's a SPORTS-movie! THAT'S amazing to me.
positive · AI labelView post →Honestly, this review of Draft Day is a better movie than the actual Draft Day movie and is proof that Denis Leary should have been the main character with the movie being a dark comedy about him realizing he left a winning NFL team for a garbage team full of messy people.
neutral · AI labelView post →[court, concluding hearing]: anything further, counsel? [me]: in the 2014 CTE sports-washing movie "Draft Day" a major plot point is that none of top nfl qb prospect bo callahan's teammates went to his birthday party, but diddy plays callahan's agent, leaving the viewer to ask whether calla-

neutral · AI labelView post →30 minutes into Conclave this feels like I’m watching an election movie and Draft Day all at once but if everyone cast in those was also one of the queens in To Wong Foo
neutral · AI labelView post →I find 'Draft Day' an absurd but entertaining bad movie. Put it on recently, and my wife had a much different take. "Wait, so he's a nepo baby, in an inappropriate work relationship, who doesn't listen to anyone he works with, and we're supposed to root for him? Fuck this guy." Pretty much!

neutral · AI labelView post →I've just watched Draft Day for the first time (yes, believe it or not). This movie is many things, and while "good" is not one of them, it is accidentally funny many times.
neutral · AI labelView post →The 2014 Kevin Costner movie Draft Day just started, which is about the world's most accurate depiction of the NFL draft ever put to screen. I like how the Seattle Seahawks want Bo Callahan so badly, because he's apparently so awesome a quarterback, that they'll riot if they don't get him.
neutral · AI labelView post →Draft Day is such a good movie. It’s a shame they had to fuck up the otherwise fantastic casting with Sean Combs as an agent. Ugh. Gross.
positive · AI labelView post →I was trying to layer Rodo’s face on to Kevin Costner’s body from the Draft Day movie poster to post on here but then I thought, “naw, that’s too much”. I stand corrected. Well done, you even double down with a Wrexham owner.
neutral · AI labelView post →We desperately need a DEADLINE DAY movie, starring Kevin Costner. It won't be a hard sequel to DRAFT DAY (2014). Instead, it'll be more like Leone's "Man With No Name" trilogy, where Costner is ostensibly playing the same character but with a different name and no connection to the first movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →Awww! I love Draft Day! Any movie with the insult "you pancake-eating mfer" can't be all bad! Mostly bad, sure. 😂 Okay, it's no Major League, but it's total Browns campiness and it's a fun pre-Draft watch.
neutral · AI labelView post →I gotta go back to get a picture of it. But the trash can out in front of the Southdale AMC has a bumper sticker that reads: I ❤️ KEVIN COSTNER IN DRAFT DAY Which is a movie that came out 12 years ago
neutral · AI labelView post →Didn't realize that Fall schedules used to be announced in February Funny that they treat schedule planning with the same gravity as war planning (doesn't apply to any of this year's Wars). Picturing two CBS execs screening "Jim Nabors" in quiet solemnity. This could be a movie like "Draft Day"
