Back when he and Pat Summerall were on Fox, I got Madden to sign one of his books. I have the 1st two he wrote. The 1st one was titled Hey, Wait a Minute: I Wrote a Book! He was wearing his coat & tie with Levi's and all-white Adidas Stan Smith Sneakers.

ETA:
The sneakers weren't just untied, they didn't have laces in them. Look for that in the movie.

I love Cage. I recently watched Faceoff and he was incredible. I’ll watch this for sure

?With a major facial prosthetic?

For the face, John Goodman comes to mind. Yes, we like almost everything Cage has made, but he's so far from portly.....

Wilmer Valderrama as Jim Plunkett


Fwiw, Madden and Plunkett only had one season together in Oakland, 1978. I
don’t think he played that much. Plunked had his success with the Raiders under Tom Flores.
