I did not see the Kurt Warner one, despite being a Kurt Warner fan. Their story has been done to death.
I'll set aside the Chiefs because I have an obvious bias, but if I could watch a football biopic, I'd be interested in some era/team that I don't know much about. Maybe something like the 1950s Rams teams that were such prolific scorers, or the Purple People Eaters line in Minnesota. The Rams may have been the first team west of the Mississippi if I remember right, which provides a great backdrop of societal change. Or go back to the really early days to learn about the players who formed some of those really early teams like the Dayton Triangles. Oh, or pick an interesting game like the Sneaker Game or that championship game that was played on a short field indoors in the 1930s.
Yeah, that's what I want. I want a movie about the 1932 NFL championship game. That game had it all: great iconic players, the oddities of a young sport, and an interesting setting during the Depression. You could really build a great movie around that game.
