    Anyone seen it? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1210166/

    Apparently they had to modify it for the American market and switch the football theme to baseball.

    Brad Pitt plays the part of Keith Hill.

    Just downloading now for this evenings entertainment.

    Am I missing a joke? It hasn't ever been a football theme. It's a true story that happened in baseball. The use of stats in sport is the main storyline.

    Aye, your missing the joke - It ain't a football film about Keith Hill.

    Similar storyline though, but with Keith using ProZone and limited budget to build a team.

    ive seen money ball an excellent film in my opinion.

    the same system they used in money ball is being currently devised for nfl and nhl teams lets see if it works.

    its not quite the same system as prozone but not far off.
