DeNiro to play Vince Lombardi, now please call it, THE BIG CHEESE, giggle...

Hey folks, Harry here and I want to wear my Cheesehead hat to the premiere of this one. It seems that Al Capone aka Robert DeNiro is set to play Vince Lombardi - perhaps the most legendary and beloved coach, this side of Tom Landry... ahem, in NFL history... so much so, when you win the SUPER BOWL, you get to take a trophy named after him home. This is one of those ESPN Films - but the feature is being written by Eric Roth, so expect Vince to be a fast running infant/man whose story will be told in reverse. Apparently the film will cover the period in which Vince built the GREEN BAY PACKERS into legends. Expect this to hit theaters sometime in the midst of the playoffs in 2012. I don't know about you, but I love Football flicks, how about you? Personally, my fave is NORTH DALLAS FORTY, what's yours?
