Longtime readers may understand why I'm not anxious to revisit the Duke lacrosse scandal, but when I read that HBO plans to make a movie about the whole mess, I figured I'd kick it around one more time.
But I don't want to rant and rail... I want to know who's going to play this crew in the film.
Collin Finnerty, who grew up on Snob Hill in my hometown of Garden City, NY, is an easy one: extreme athlete Shaun White, who according to my calculations needs to be breaking into movies soon. The Reade Seligman role could go to Jack Black (if they cleaned him up a bit). And David Evans, son of high-powered DC lobbyists who now makes a six-figure salary at Morgan Stanley, well, I say we let the kid play himself. The "fantastic lies" speech is his and his alone.
Bonus: Ousted Duke lacrosse coach Mike Pressler, who really got a raw deal in this one, could by played by Greensboro's own Lenslinger, AKA Stewart Pittman.

I wonder if they'll leave it open for a sequel...
