Russ learns a harsh lesson about narcissism after celebrating a touchdown too early, dropping the ball shy of the paint only for it to be returned with interest, costing his team a championship and shredding his reputation in the process. Incidentally, the six-part sports comedy premieres after Adonai Mitchell did the same thing for the Colts on Sunday, albeit with slightly less on the line.
Seeing as nobody will touch him, however, he has to get creative with a prosthetic mask and a killer mustache before trying out for coach Jake Hudson’s (Steve Zahn) South Georgia University Catfish team. While the arm talent is all Russ, Chad has an X-factor that sets him apart from his alias.
What some viewers may not realize is that Chad Powers was the brainchild of Eli Manning. A now-legendary prank (embedded below) saw the twice Super Bowl champion and twice Super Bowl MVP sneak into Penn State University tryouts in disguise, where he launched bombs, jabbered classic lines like “If Brady can play till he’s 44, Chad can play ’til he’s 26”, and “Think fast, run fast”, and broke the the assistant coach’s heart.
