I saw this trailer before The Martian. Movie looks interesting enough. The trailer gives me a "Seven Pounds" kind of vibe.

I bet the NFL will love this.
They apparently made some effort to soften the blow, no pun intended.

I'd be lying if I didn't say I read 'Will Smith' and 'Nigerian' the wrong way.

Will watch. I'm a sucker for movies based on real events and I like Smith, personally. Doubt I'll see it in theaters.

"Awesome thread title. You must be one thick retarded cunt to come up with it. How you even get dressed in the morning or perform any kind of lower brain functions is a mystery."

What? The thread title explained exactly what the movie was about, as per the trailer. Oh yeah, Merry Christmas.

Watched it today. Much better than expected. I want to know how dramatized the data is in the movie. If even half of it is true then the NFL is just fucking irredeemably evil.

Lawsuits would fly if any of it wasn't true. If it was "The National Pigskin League" or some other name they used and let the viewer infer their own idea from it then fine...but they used real names, organizations and such, they had to keep it legit.

All those stats at the end of the movie were 100% true though.

Rumors were the NFL was fearing the movie in terms of public image and it would have to go into damage control after the movie...depending on how many see this movie, I would say that's pretty true.
