“If Love Is a Game, Who'll Make the First Pass?”

Pro football in the 1920s is a shaky business, and nobody can say why a decorated war hero and college star like Carter Rutherford (John Krasinski) would sign on with it. A reporter named Lexie Littleton (Renée Zellweger) smells a story and starts digging into his past. George Clooney directs and stars as Jimmy "Dodge" Connelly, a battered veteran who has staked everything on this sport and has the most to lose if she finds dirt on the war hero.
