The Falcoholic reviews the Sean Payton sports comedy ‘Home Team’

Besides signing pretend quarterback Taysom Hill to a four-year, $40 million contract, the worst decision Sean Payton ever made was agreeing to turn his year of exile into a Netflix sports comedy starring Kevin James and Kevin James’ older brother.

The bastard spawn of Little Giants and Paul Blart: Mall Cop, Home Team is the confusing attempt to drape over Payton’s year-long suspension with a tepid Happy Madison sports comedy. The film tries to make the story of an NFL coach being historically suspended for overseeing a bounty program into a heartwarming tale of a workaholic dad who coaches his kid’s little league team while, you know, he’s being historically suspended for overseeing a bounty program that enabled NFL players to reap financial reward for harming the opponent.
