This is from this week's Saturday Night Live with Ben Stiller as the host.  I made it through the monologue before blinking and the sun was up.  I'm old, what can I say.  However, through the magic of the interwebz and them DVR doohickeys...we can watch stuff anytime we want.  This spoof takes a different approach than the one I posted on about a week ago.

The flick stars Brad Pitt as Billy Beane, the rogue Oakland A's General Manager who bucked the system by signing players based on an algorithm that includes On Base Pct and pant size. I think.  Jonah Hill plays the smart guy who does the math stuff.  It's based on the best selling book of the same name and is not a bad movie at all...you could probably wait for it to be on PPV/Blu-Ray/Netflix/whatever you kids use to get your movies nowadays.
