Any Given Sunday

Synopsis: When a devastating hit knocks a professional football legend and quarterback Cap Rooney out of the game, a young, unknown third-stringer is called in to replace him. Having ridden the bench for years because of a string of bad luck stories and perhaps insufficient character, Willie Beaman seizes what may be his last chance, and lights up the field with a raw display of athletic prowess. His stunning performance over several games is so outstanding and fresh it seems to augur a new era in the history of this Miami franchise, and forces aging coach Tony D'Amato to reevaluate his time-tested values and strategies and begin to confront the fact that the game, as well as post-modern life may be passing him by. Adding to the pressure on D'Amato to win at any cost is the aggressive young President/Co-owner of the team, Christina Pagniacci, now coming into her own after her father's death. Christina's driving desire to prove herself in a male dominated world is intensified by her focus on the

This does not look good.
Cap Rooney, three-time league MVP...
...and Coach Tony D'Amato's star
...and not moving.
Don't you see he's hurt?
-Did you see that?
-That hurts.
Every Shark fan has a sickening
feeling in his stomach.
Let's look at this again.
Cap Rooney is down and in pain.
Get me Vincent.
Riggman makes a beautiful move
over Julian Washington.
Which frees up Watson up the middle.
Look at Gates on the backside.
Who's on weak side safety?
Stop showing that.
We'll return with Cap's condition
after a word from our sponsors.
-They cut to a commercial.
-I think I broke my back!
My butt!
Damn it! Fuck!
-Where's it hurt?
-Where you're touching it!
Candy-ass, no-blocking bitches!
Suck it up, Cap.
Can't breathe.
Neither can l.
It's the humidity.
Should we get a stretcher?
Do I have to get a stretcher?
You that old?
Wait! Wait!
I should, but you just
bled on my suit.
There goes history.
That's the real deal there.
Thirty-nine-year-old Cap Rooney...
...two-time Pantheon Cup winner,
almost 50, 000 passing yards...
...now to be replaced
by the second-string quarterback.
All right, nice and easy.
We're up. See? 21 -1 7.
Just hold on. Steady.
Where's my helmet?
Get him his helmet.
You'll need that, Tyler.
I'm not really sure how D'Amato's
going to get over this one, Kev.
Way to hold that football, kid.
Take it easy. Don't worry.
We're gonna finish this one
without you.
With three losses and three games
until the playoffs...
...this could spell the end
to an already dismal season.
Attendance is down,
while the Dolphins have prospered.
Bad-coaching-dot-com.
That's Tony's web site.
Horny, your zone coverage is soft.
Press it.
Get that out of my face. Shark! We
need more pressure on the quarterback.
-I'm on it, coach.
-Go fix it.
-I said fix it!
-I'm on it, goddamn it!
This'll put the Sharks' playoff hopes
on the shoulders of Julian Washington.
Backup quarterback Tyler Cherubini
has not seen a lot of action.
Cherubini has not thrown
for a first down all season.
Fumble!
Oh, my gosh! Touchdown!
The Americans go up, 23 to 21.
Man, oh, man!
Did they nail him!
It doesn't look like
Cherubini's getting up.
Fuck!
Two quarterbacks in a row.
I have not seen this since '88.
Or '78? When the Aztecs
and the Pharaohs lived.
Any given Sunday,
anything can happen.
They need you back.
Cherubini's down.
Did he fall off the bench?
What the hell's next? Stigmata?
Sit him out and don't touch him
till I get back.
Give me the names of players
in the quarterback market.
How about every available line coach?
Somebody who can teach this line
how to fucking block.
Malloy. Find out about him.
Cap's out.
Man, I can't believe it.
Do you know Willie Beamen?
No, I don't.
Who is Willie Beamen?
Beamen! What are you doing?
-I told you to warm up 5 minutes ago!
-What happened?
Look at your fucking play card!
It's upside down!
Get your head out of your ass!
Beamen, you're up.
Left Deuce Zig 22 Tomcat.
You know what that is?
Easy handoff to Julian.
The Americans got no profile on you.
You surprise them.
Look at me!
You're gonna do fine.
You hold it all inside. There.
Stay focused.
Okay? Stay there.
Willie, can you hear me?
As we await word
on Cap's condition...
...Miami is sending in third-string
quarterback Willie Beamen.
I've been in too many of these.
Twenty-six years old, a mystery man.
In his fifth year. He went
to the University of Houston.
Firs t year with the Sharks.
He's seen four teams in his career.
All right, listen up.
We're gonna run
