Any Given Sunday (1999): Football is War When Oliver Stone is Directing

Stories From the Gridiron Month rolls on this week with a real doozy of a film. Oliver Stone's Any Given Sunday from 1999 is a highly stylized story of a pro football team struggling to come together. Told in the director's everything-is-combat tone, it's an assault on the senses that is a lot of fun to discuss.
In the news segment:

• Is a Rambo prequel coming?
• Robert Redford
