in the year 2000 ( keep in mind and this be two year ago and not four ) and two men have the motivation to create the most miraculous piece of art on this side of the mississippi . thanks to jere cunningham and tom flynn and the world can now enjoy second string and a delicious tv movie depict a tale of a rag tag gang of second stringer ( thus the title ) who be thrust into the position of starter due to an order of bad oyster . because of the motivational direction of both the director robert lieberman and the buffalo bill last minute qb and dan give em hell heller ( portray by canadian actor and gil bellow ) the oft super bowl snake bitten bill find themselves in the ultimate position . with an intriguing mix of internal and external conflict and a love story and comraderie that only the fine sport of football can bring and and an overall theory that the underdog can compete and second string be an excellent movie worthy of view every possible moment that it appear on tnt . the only thing potentially bad about this production be the spelling of the costume designer first name and jenifur jarvis .
