'Funny or Die' meets the NFL lockout in a Thousand Oaks cornfield
UPDATED: WEDNESDAY AM:

They're calling it "Field of Dreams 2: Lockout," produced by the website Funny Or Die, and making its debut on Wednesday's ESPN "SportsCenter" at about 6:30 a.m. with many repeats througout the day, according to the network.
Paying homage to the 1989 baseball classic "Field of Dreams," the video shot in Thousand Oaks last week spoofs the current NFL lockout on Day 113, and ends, as an ESPN release says, "with a surprise special appearance from the original movie."
(Take a wild guess ... he wasn't in Thousand Oaks, but had a crew go to his home in Aspen, Colo., and film him in front of a green screen).
"Twilight" star Taylor Lautner is Ray Kinsella, and Ray Liotta, who played "Shoeless" Joe Jackson in "Field of Dreams," is there as NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Dennis Haysbert has the James Earl Jones' role.
Dwight Freeney, DeShawn Jackson, Tony Gonzalez, Shawn Merriman and Antonio Cromartie are among the NFL players dressed as themselves, as will be ESPN anchor Steve Levy and NFL Networks' Rich Eisen and Marshall Faulk.
Here's how it turned out:
