New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton started the writing of a screenplay so terrible that you’ll probably see it in theaters in a couple years. From FanIQ:
The movie, currently titled “The Xbox Kid,” is about a boy from a poor family in New Orleans who starts controlling the outcome of NFL games through a refurbished Xbox given to him by his grandfather following a devastating hurricane.
“I just wrote about four pages, piddling around with it,” said Payton, who later turned the idea over to a professional screen writer to flesh it out.
Payton is shopping the script in Hollywood now, and why not? It’s not like he has a season to prepare for or anything. What’s the point? It’s not like he needs the money, or the attention for being a guy with a couple fresh ideas. Did he start a writer’s group in team meetings? Focus, Sean, focus. Joe Gibbs is probably rolling over in his grave over this.


Payton’s first screenplay about young boys was purchased by Gary Glitter but never put into development
The movie will be called Never Back Down, Unless You’re the Saints, In Which Case Go Sit On A Fence Post.
He should have written a movie about Reggie Bush…he could have called it OVERRATED…
Wasn’t this the exact plot of War Games???
Unfortunately at the end, it turns out people were just shitting on cars.
