* AFatherToHisMen: D'Amato. Even when ripped by the press and his owner for being out of touch with the current game, his players (sans newcomer Willie Beamen) are unfailingly loyal to him as he is to them, often looking out for their welfare and health and protecting them from any attacks on their ability or heart. Even when clashing with Beamen, he gives him sound advice about how to gain the team's trust and truly become their quarterback, which eventually does sink in with Willie.

Gets a literal metaphor as Beamen is sulking alone in the team's sauna until veteran Shark Lavay enters, and despite their clashing all season, levels with Willie that he's in danger of washing out like so many players Beamen's never heard of.

''Any Given Sunday'' is a 1999 American sports drama film starring Creator/AlPacino, Creator/CameronDiaz, Creator/DennisQuaid, Creator/JamesWoods, Music/LLCoolJ, and Creator/JamieFoxx. It was directed and co-written by Creator/OliverStone, so think ''Film/TheReplacements2000'' meets ''Film/NaturalBornKillers''.
The Miami Sharks, an ailing professional UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball franchise, suddenly lose their first- and second-string quarterbacks to injury, and third stringer Willie Beamen (Foxx) gets a shot at glory when he becomes the team's starter for the remainder of the regular season. Along the way, the movie takes a long, unflinching look at the various aspects of pro football: clashing egos, front-office meddling, playing hurt[[note]]which was the name of one of the screenplays that became Any Given Sunday[[/note]], sacrifice, and getting old. This is punctuated by some freakin' intense scenes of the game.

Willie is not wrong to counter that as much as Tony may not like it, he has been giving the team the victories they've desperately needed and which Cap has not been able to provide and to have a cynical view of Tony's "it's not just about winning" rhetoric, pointing out that every coach says that but all they really respect is success, as well as of the league as a whole given his past experiences, nearly losing out on being drafted over a minor rules violation for which he feels he has disproportionately punished.
