Diehard college football fans Glen Powell and Michael Waldron are going to ask you what college football team you root for if you talk to them about their new show, “Chad Powers.”

"I think that that's what the spirit of the Ryder Cup is. Fans of all backgrounds can come and root for their team."

I like how those movies give you a guilty little tingle about rooting for Redford even when it means scratching off a couple of the Ten Commandments.
