Watching "Saturday's Hero".

1950's movie about a college football player and the life he leads. Pretty interesting, the more things change the more they stay the same.

Yep. Never saw it before, good flick. You can draw plenty of parallels between then and now. You can also see where "North Dallas Forty" may have borrowed some from it, then again they both probably used the same source material (real life) because it's accurate.

North Dallas Forty was based on the novel by former Dallas Cowboy Pete Gent and was certainly a dark look at the Cowboys and the NFL in that era. The book and movie were both excellent.
