Funny you should say that, look what I was reading this morning. No offense, Falcons Published on: 10/10/2007 With the Falcons fumbling around at quarterback, maybe Hollywood has the answer: Joe Kingman (aka The Rock, left), star of the movie "The Game Plan." If he's not available, maybe one of these other football film stars could suit up Monday night. Jamie Foxx, "Any Given Sunday" (1999). Bobby Petrino has nothing on Al Pacino's Tony D'Amato, the gruff coach who turned over the offense to third-stringer Steamin' Willie Beamen, a Michael Vick clone. Keanu Reeves, "The Replacements" (2000). As a replacement player, former Washington Sentinels QB Shane Falco would come cheap — and he could use some of those moves from "The Matrix" to dodge pass rushers. Burt Reynolds, "The Longest Yard" (1974). Even minus the mustache, the former Florida State running back/defensive back was far more believable as a QB than Adam Sandler was in the remake. And his Paul Crewe has already done his time. Damon Wayans, "The Last Boy Scout" (1991). Jimmy Dix has mad skills, but he'll need to lay off the drugs and gambling if he wants to get the green light from taskmaster commissioner Roger Goodell. Scott Bakula, "Necessary Roughness" (1991). After Sunday's stinker, the Falcons could also use the Fightin' Armadillos' kicker (Kathy Ireland) and star offensive lineman (Sinbad). Honorable mentions: James Van der Beek, "Varsity Blues" (1999). As rebel high school QB Mox Moxon, he won the big game and told the head coach to take a hike; Falcons fans would probably settle for either right now. Warren Beatty, "Heaven Can Wait" (1978). As reincarnated Rams QB Joe Pendleton, he's prettier than Tom Brady and scrawnier than a placekicker, but he's got God and Jack Warden on his side. Alan Alda, "Paper Lion" (1968). He played writer George Plimpton playing at quarterback for the Detroit Lions. Hey — just like Joey Harrington did! — Michael Gray and Jeff D'Alessio accessatlanta.com
