Actor Kevin James will play Sean Payton of the New Orleans Saints in an upcoming Netflix movie titled “Home Team,” which sheds light on the coach’s time after he was punished for his involvement in the Bountygate scandal.
In 2012, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Payton for the entire season after he was accused of paying bonuses to his players who injured opponents. General Manager Mickey Loomis and Assistant Head Coach Joe Vitt were among the other members of the Saints who were also punished.
The film will shed light on Payton’s time coaching his son’s youth football team in Dallas while he was suspended.
Payton, 57, read and approved the script after making some corrections, NBC Sports reported.
Happy Madison Productions is producing the film.
