Autumn Ritual

When released in 1986, Phil Tuckett's Autumn Ritual looked like anything but a football film. It was probably the most original sports movie since They Call It Pro Football, 19 years earlier. In 2003, Phil Tuckett embarked on a regenerated Autumn Ritual, mixing footage from the original production with new interviews. And some of the sources are pretty far-fetched, to say the least. New interviewees include Hunter S. Thompson, the former wild man who had sided with the Oakland Raiders, and Snoop Dogg, who bemoans the paucity of African-American coaches in the NFL.
