The trailer for ‘Home Team,’ the long-awaited film based on the time New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton spent coaching his son’s football team after being suspended for Bountygate, was published on Netflix on Tuesday.

The film is set during the 2012 season when Payton was suspended by the NFL for his role in the Saints’ bounty controversy. The trailer stars Kevin James as Sean Payton and Taylor Lautner as his son’s football coach, as has been known for months.

Happy Madison Productions, which is owned by actor Adam Sandler, has produced the film, therefore the comic style of the film was predicted even before the trailer was published. The story’s premise revolves around Payton and his distant connection with his son, a link that will be improved owing to the events that lead the protagonist to become the assistant coach of his son’s sixth-grade football team.

Home Team; the Sean Payton inspired movie

In the trailer, Payton can be seen getting word of his NFL ban, as well as joining Lautner’s assistantship, along with scenes of youngsters on a losing team. But all changes with the entrance of the professional coach, though it will not be a straightforward mission for Payton.

There are plenty of funny accidents in this film, as there are in all Sandler and Happy Madison Productions. Such as the entire team vomiting because of Rob Schneider’s homemade energy bars. Or the players celebrating their first touchdown despite losing by a huge margin.
