Chad Powers

[George Zipp]

It's on Hulu. Premise is Glen Powell plays a disgraced former Oregon QB who dropped the football in the NCAA title game on the 1 yd line (taken from real world), ball is returned, Oregon loses the game and they Powell's character goes after someone on the sideline after the game, punches him in the face and the punchee falls into a cancer kid in a wheelchair and knocks him over.

From there the show proceeds to him using prosthetics to make himself into "Chad Powers" and start playing football again.

It's stupid, it's beyond all pale of reality, the football scenes mostly suck yet I'm highly entertained by the whole thing. Maybe it's the coaches daughter (who upon a quick search is married to Mark Sanchez, yeah, that Mark Sanchez). More likely it's the waiting for the entire house of cards to unravel like a bad play. Dunno but I'll keep watching.

I enjoyed Eli Manning as Chad Powers when he tried out for the Penn St. team but I just can't get myself to watch this.

This is pretty good so far. I just finished episode 1.

Sure, it’s absurd, but so are most sports comedies. I wasn’t worried about plot holes during The Waterboy, it’s still a classic.

The line about his high school crowds depending on whether wild wolves would show up to carry off children had me rolling.

I just finished EP 5 of 6 last night. I'll watch 6 just because.

I'll be interested in your take once you get thru. It's an easy watch, short episodes. But man alive I have some things to say that I won't until you are done.
