Coach Tom Coughlin announced today the signing of acclaimed actor Barry Pepper to the New York Giants' 2007-08 roster.
Pepper has been cast in the role of the world-weary veteran quarterback, brought in to "train and tame" young hotshot Eli Manning. When Manning gets injured right before the 2008 playoffs, Pepper has a chance to step in for one last moment of glory.

Still to be cast are the roles of the comic relief foreign-national place kicker and Coughlin's smoking hot girlfriend on the side.
This is Pepper's third sports role, the other two being his portrayal of Roger Maris in HBO's 61*, and his role as a Professional Rollerball Star in John Travolta's Battlefield Earth.
