These days, NFL and NCAA Football is often reduced to a money game. Record-breaking viewership and revenue numbers dominate all other sports broadcast competition in America and there’s a theme getting lost amid news of big money contract talks and NIL deals — “The Object Of The Game.”
Enter high school Shakespeare and Chaucer teacher Chuck “Chico” Kyle who is wrapping up his 50th and final year at inner city Cleveland, Ohio’s Saint Ignatius High School. A humble teacher first, Chico would sooner regale you with Macbeth and Othello quotes from memory than mention he engineered the greatest high school football dynasty the country has ever seen—winning an astounding 11 big school state championships and 4 national titles over a dominant 20 year span—and in the process, shaping the lives of thousands of his students and players through a philosophy he would dedicate his life to despite being offered bigger money coaching opportunities elsewhere.
Inspired by the book of the same name written by Kyle, “The Object of the Game” features interviews with the biggest names in American football including Bill Belichick, Tony Dungy, Mike Tomlin, Urban Meyer, Roger Goodell, Sean McVay, Tony Romo and more bestowing never before heard football anecdotes, wisdom, and practical X’s and O’s blended with thrilling verite footage of Kyle’s emotional farewell season with his team which provides a true-life “Friday Night Lights” backdrop to answer what the “Object of the Game” means both on and off the Gridiron.
The lineup of interview talent has captured the highest awards the sport offers—with Belichick alone having won eight Super Bowls as a head and assistant coach—and their participation is a testament to the influence Kyle has had on the game of football.
The project is directed and produced by Zodiac Features’ Matt Waldeck (I See You, Lovely Jackson) with Ben Hecht, Travis Killian, and Blake Williams among its Executive Producer’s. Funding was provided by Zodiac Holdings.
