Maybe as someone else said, he died, she couldn't live without him, spilled the pills, and dog ate them. Or she was tired of taking care of him and did the murder/suicide thing. There will be rampant speculation on this one.
The Replacements! That was a great 'guilty pleasure' movie.
Underrated sports movie. Probably a movie that had no right to have Gene Hackman in it at all, and having him makes it a good level better than it ever should have been.

Ugh...it was so good! When the Sumo Wrestler pukes and they just move the whole huddle?
Or the two black bouncers? So good! And! Jon Favreau as a psychotic lunatic!
But Hackman makes it! The guy responsible for a collection of misfits? Oh...I know its not a 'great' movie in the classical sense...but thats a great movie!

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.

I had taped it off of Movie Central as a kid. I always remember part of the first scene was missing. But I rewatched it like once every few weeks as a kid.

Its like one of those movies for me that...you're just lying on the couch, you're hungover and...The Replacements comes on!
And in your misery you just feel..."Okay. This is my life now for the next 2 hours."
I cant even imagine how much money that movie made on TV rights.
But the Hackman/Keanu combo? Nailed it.

I watch The Replacements almost every Super Bowl Sunday. It’s my favorite sports movie.

It was a quirky cast of characters. It was actually the older guy who's the owner who made the monkey #### fight now that I think about it. I liked the Welsh kickers character. But Hackman as Joe Gibbs but dressed like Tom Landry keeps that thing together.

I pull out the 'ol "come on coach, I look like I just jerked off an elephant" quote every once in a while. It was especially useful during the pandemic when some stores had gross hand sanitizer at the door.
(talking about you, London Drugs. Pretty sure that was dish soap)
"I'm Japanese, not Chinese!"
"We're on the same team, we're on the same team."
"The Mick's right."
"I'm not a Mick. I'm bloody Welsh!"
Nigel "The Leg" flicking a cigarette before kicking is classic. Also pretty sure the cheerleaders (specifically Brooke Langton and Caroline Keenan) were my first crush. In hindsight, they might have been why I watched it over and over as a teenager...
