Help cast 'Super Bowl: the Movie'!

That's freakin' hillarious! Must agree that Tom Brady is the only choice to play Tom Brady (personally, I can't stand the guy) and Day-Lewis as Randy Moss is fabulous. But, seriously, I think Terrell Owens could make his acting debut in the Moss part.
Of course, I'll be watching the Bowl. As a lifelong Fins fan, I have to root against the Pats. Hate 'em, hate 'em, hate 'em. And Eli is way cuter than Peyton, and I feel sorry for the kid, so he's gotta show up his big brother.

Seems like Michael Emerson as Tom Coughlin would be a natural. Always looks like he's on the verge of losing it and going postal.

This is hilarious. I was just watching Secondhand Lions on Monday night and at one point thought "Damn, poor HJO looks eerily similar to Eli Manning."

Corky as Peyton Manning!

Funniest thing I've read all morning. Tom Brady as Tom Brady really is an inspired choice.

Casey Affleck as Wes Welker - the little actor that could as the little wide receiver that could.

Love, love the Osment/Manning resemblance. It's a bit uncanny. Perhaps the flaming Eye of Sauron could play Coach Belichick - anyone see the scary bloodshot eye he was sporting after the regular season Pats/Giants game?

There is no one hot enough to play Tom Brady but himself. On this, I think 90% of the female population agrees. And there should be some gratuitous shirtless shots.

DDL as Randy Moss - genius. Michael Clark Duncan as Plexico Burress perhaps?

I just got up off the ground after the split screen of Eli & Haley - so awesome and so on-point!
I don't know who you can find to play Lawrence Tynes (?), the kicker for the Giants, but I saw him on Letterman last week and I've been crushing ever since.

my favorite--Bill Lumberg as Bill Belichek.
Genius

James Cromwell has a lot of work to do to act as cranky-pants as Tom Coughlin. And whatever you say about Bill Belichick (and who doesn't?) I don't think he's quite as passive-aggressive as Lumberg. But DDH as Randy? Brilliant!

Eli Manning and Haley Joel Osment aren't 11 years old?

Heat Miser as Giants coach Tom Coughlin

Liz Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 08:11 PM EST

Greg Kinear as Troy Aikman (who will be doing commentary for the blessed event).

KateDFW Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 07:54 PM EST

I vote for Tom Arnold as Bill Belichek and Roseanne as Tom Brady...

I hate both teams and want them both to lose...but you can tell by my name that I am just bitter (and with good reason)!

B Ro Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 07:26 PM EST

For Junior Seau, I vote for Erik Estrada.

cruzilla Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 05:18 PM EST

Matt Damon as Tom Brady.

TSD Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 05:02 PM EST

That was funny. I'm going to watch the big game, now w/ renewed interest. Every single time I see Eli Manning without his helmet on, I will see Haley Joel Osment. I hate Tom Brady, so him playing himself, that would make the movie unwatchable for me.

Lindsay Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 04:58 PM EST

I would NEVER doubt Daniel Day Lewis...that's just asking for trouble ahah. Also, as a female, I find Tom Brady as Tom Brady a truly inspired casting choice.

Ceballos Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 04:52 PM EST

That was pretty damn funny. It was so good that I can't really think of suggestions that would be any better.

Also, I can't wait until Daniel Day Lewis re-emerges about three years from now having fully transformed himself into Randy Moss (I'm not gonna bet against him).

that was quite entertaining actually- especially the first few.
i could definitely see cromwell as couglin.
haley joel osment as eli manning is hilarious. i can definitely see it. same with Fab from Milli Vanilli as Laurence Maroney.
Tiffani Thiessen as Bridget Moynahan: well i do always like to see Kelly from Saved by the Bell.
