Started off posting this in the movies thread, but it kinda goes here, too.
Well, it's old, so it's on TV, but it's a movie. Far as I can tell, it's a hybrid fantasy-satire, called Draft Day.
Kevin Costner in a tale about the Cleveland Browns trying to figure out a QB draft pick. Seems that if they can just get it right, it will make their franchise. Fantasy. Satire.
End of film--Costner has traded away three future first-round picks to get the guy he was going to get anyway, who isn't the elite QB. Oh, and when they announce his surprise #1 pick, the crowd boos, the announcers are dumbfounded, and Cleveland fans are seen sobbing into their hands. So, in other words, a completely typical Browns draft day.
Oh, and the QB they passed on is actually upset Cleveland didn't take him. And, the player who was chosen is in tears, and they appear to be tears of joy, not devastation.
Costner character's quote "Every year, someone comes out of here looking like a donkey." Guess who that is every year.
And at the very end, Costner brilliantly negotiates a trade that gets all three picks back, plus a special teams player they need. 'Cause Cleveland management is populated with geniuses like that. Fantasy.
Hilarious.
