Al plays Tony D'Amato the coach of the NFL team the Miami Sharks. His aging quarterback Cap Rooney (Dennis Quaid) is injured. An arrogant ambitious young quarterback (Jamie Foxx) takes his place. Al has to fight for his longtime friend as well as for his ideals about loyalty and teamwork in a business that only cares about money.

He also battles with the new team owner Christina Pagniacci (Cameron Diaz) a tough as nails rich girl who only cares about the bottom line. He has to come to terms with a game for which he has sacrificed everything that may not need or want his kind of coach anymore.

Here is what the official website says about the plot, "Although professional football provides the action-packed backdrop of Any Given Sunday, the film takes a simultaneously epic and intimate look at the men and women who comprise the milieu of the film, from the modern-day gladiators of the gridiron, their coaches and often beleaguered families, to the moneyed team owners and business concerns who attempt to control the game as big business, to the hungry sports media, and hangers-on trying to get a taste of the glamour."
