Yo Yo Yo – what’s happening peeps! Not sure why I decided to talk like that – must be because I’ve been watching “Any Given Sunday” again, one of my favourite sports movies. Basically it’s a take on a fictional NFL team with an all-star acting cast. Al Pacino as the old school head coach, Jamie Foxx as the narcissistic rising star QB, Cameron Diaz as the hot-headed young franchise owner.
