2005 MLB Midwest Tour Chronicles: Day 6
"The Longest Yard"

June 10, 2005

Not much happening... Just traveled from St. Louis to Indianapolis and plunked ourselves down in the hotel. We ended up going to a local mall and watched "The Longest Yard." The movie was a riot and included a star-studded lineup with the likes of Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Burt Reynolds, my man Michael Irvin, Nelly, Bill Romanowski, Kevin Nash, Steve Austin, and Brian Bosworth, to name a bunch...

Here's the plot summary, unscrupulously cut-and-pasted from somewhere on the Internet:
Paul "Wrecking" Crewe (Sandler) was a revered football superstar back in his day, but that time has since faded. But when a messy drunk driving incident lands him in jail, Paul finds he was specifically requested by Warden Hazen (James Cromwell), a duplicitous prison official well aware of Paul's athletic skills. Paul has been assigned the task of assembling a team of convicts, to square off in a big football game against the sadistic guards. With the help of fellow convict Caretaker (Rock), and an old legend named Nate Scarborough (Reynolds) to coach, Crewe is ready for what promises to be a very interesting game. It's only the warden and the guards who have no idea who or what they're up against, with Paul the driving force behind the new team.
