This week on Total Movie Recall, the pressures of competing at a professional level with all the concussions, cocaine, infidelities, and painkillers almost make Steve request to be traded during the free agency period after he and Ryan bicker about Oliver Stone\\u2019s divisive 1999 film, Any Given Sunday. Does Steve\\u2019s complete lack of interest in professional sports bring this episode to a screeching halt? Yes. Can you tell who\\u2019s writing these summaries yet? Probably.

Four years ago, DAmato\'s (Al Pacino) Miami Sharks were at the top. Now, his team is struggling with three consecutive losses, sliding attendance, and aging heroes, particularly 39-year-old quarterback Jack "Cap" Rooney (Dennis Quaid). Off the field, DAmato is struggling with a failed marriage and estranged children, and is on a collision course with Christina Pagniacci (Cameron Diaz), the young president/co-owner of the Sharks organization.
