All his life, Phil (Will Ferrell) failed at any sport his father, Buck (Robert Duvall), pushed at him. To make matters worse, Buck remarried and had another son the very same day that Phil became a father. Ten years later, both boys end up on Buck's soccer team, but Buck trades grandson Sam (Dylan McLaughlin) to the worst team in the league. Phil, determined not to have the father/son relationship he endured, decides to step in and coach Sam's losing team. He enlists the aid of Mike Ditka (played by himself), and the team starts winning. But, in the process, Phil changes into the tyrannical coach/father he had seen in Buck. Who will win the championship?

Second String 2002  TV, 95 min.
Genre: Comedy
Director: Robert Lieberman
Cast: Gil Bellows, Jon Voight, Teri Polo, Richard T. Jones, George Eads, Charles Malik Whitfield, Shawn Woods, Lamont Johnson, Mike Ditka, Doug Flutie, Evan Parke
The Buffalo Bills make it to the playoffs–but not without problems. The entire first-string offensive unit gets food poisoning and the team must rely on over-the-hill benchwarmers. Will Coach Ditcher (Jon Voight) bring them together and win the games leading to the Super Bowl and then the Super Bowl itself? Sounds a lot like "The Replacements" with the normal cliches in this made-for-TV film.
