'Draft Day' Is a Good Movie and the Haters Can Shove It
Featured on Barstool
So here's the deal: Draft Day is a good movie.
Should it have been nominated for Best Picture? Of course not. Is it Kevin Costner's best sports movie? Not even close. But neither of those facts make it a bad movie.
My friend Jeff seems to think that every movie has to be filmed on a single camera made before 1980 or have a minimum of seven superheroes in it to be considered good. I, however, choose to enjoy things for what they are. Nobody sat down and watched Draft Day for the first time with expectations of seeing the best movie of their life.
I would like an explanation as to what exactly makes this movie a, "nonsensical steaming pile of shit." Was it Sonny Weaver Jr.'s overcoming of personal struggle following the death of his father, whom he was forced to fire when the elder Weaver was in bad health and refused to retire?
Or maybe it was the fleece job of the century Sonny pulled off to get up to No. 1, take the player he wanted and still maneuver around via some clever trades to get back the picks he gave away in the first place — plus David Putney — and get another player to help the organization?
There's too much hate in this world. When I get home today, I'm going to gear up for the big event tonight — the Barstool Sports #EnEffElDraft show — by popping on Draft Day and enjoying this perfectly good film. Vontae Mack no matter what, haters.
