Saints Coach Sean Payton shops movie idea to Hollywood
Apparently, Sean Payton's creativity extends beyond his offensive playbook. He came up with an idea for a screenplay two years ago as a "summer project" and it's now being shopped around Hollywood by top talent agency CAA.
The movie, currently titled "The Xbox Kid," is about a boy from a poor family in New Orleans who starts controlling the outcome of NFL games through a refurbished Xbox given to him by his grandfather following a devastating hurricane.

By Hollywood standards, not bad
I mean, it is bad. Really bad. But by Hollywood standards, I could see this being made. I’ve seen worse.
Of course, this being New Orleans, you’ve got to involve voodoo somehow. We all know that everyone in New Orleans practices voodoo on a daily basis…so I bet when the Xbox stops working they open it up and discover a chicken head or something inside.
“Dere’s ya problem…ya chicken head’s wore out. Gotta replace dat.”
“But the game’s in an hour! I can’t let Reggie down!”
“Sorry, kid, I gotta send off to Haiti for a replacement. Be here in time for da Super Bowl, but dey on dere own today.”
Can they win the conference championship on their own and prove to themselves that winning really comes from the heart, not the [chicken] head?
This is OUR year!

Payton's affinity for Xbox
might explain why the team passes 80% of the time. Too bad the last couple of seasons didn’t come with a reset button.
