John C. Reilly would absolutely crush this role

Yes I agree he'd be a far better choice

John Goodman is the only choice!

Scratch that, I forget it’s 2023. Maybe Craig Robinson, Keenan Thompson, or Cedric the Entertainer.

In light of equity, diversity and inclusion, I recommend a black woman to play Madden. I'm thinking the one playing Cleopatra would work nicely and she could bring her lived experiences to role.

They should save Will Ferrell for the Harry Carey movie.

I can’t see Seth Rogan pulling off Kenny Stabler though.

Too much soy in that bastard to play the Snake.
