After substance abuse and insanely self-destructive and obnoxious behaviour throw a knuckle ball at his Major League Baseball career, former pitcher Kenny Powers retreats to his North Carolina hometown, where he takes a job teaching physical education at the middle school he once attended. But another chance at potential big league stardom - or so he thinks - takes Kenny further down, to Mexico way, where he thrills the locals as only he can before he returns to the US a changed man. Or is he? The colourful and frequently profane sitcom comes from executive producers Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, among others, and stars Danny McBride (`Tropic Thunder').
