What 28 year old movie is on CBS in PrimeTime tonight?

Now without giving it away here are some hints (don't make me have to slap this into your head)

ABC (8-10 PM E) will be showing a football related movie featuring an uncanny performance by an actor as a mindly retarded Cajun-esque character. ;-)

NBC (not really a hint) offers you the ability to catch on any "Joey" episodes you may have missed.



The CBS offering will be on from 9-11 PM.

4. Yes yes they can

I was checking to see what might be on tonight and was very surprised that two different networks would be showing those movies. Maybe both parent companies have a share in the actual product-oooh I came close to another hint there.
