What sport are you playing this week, Will Ferrell?

Last weekend marked the release of Will Ferrell's new movie "Semi-pro" where the comedian stars as the owner/player/coach of the ABA's Flint Michigan Tropics. Now, anyone would agree that this sounds like a hilarious idea for a comedy (especially after seeing Ferrell sporting his mammoth afro), but I am starting to get a little tired of his same old routine. In the past few years we have seen Ferrell star as a dimwitted NASCAR driver, an arrogant Olympic figure skater, an overbearing pee-wee soccer coach, and now, in his most recent release, a delusional professional basketball player. Is anyone else at least a little bit tired of seeing his brilliant talent almost being wasted on playing these troubled athletic figures? Personally, it does't seem that Ferrell has to work very hard to develop therse characters anymore. For example, Ferrell's "Jackie Moon" seems to only be a fusion of his previous characters of his figure skating-womanizer "Chaz Michael Micheals" and his anchorman "Ron Burgandy." Not to mention, from what I've seen in commercials and previews for his new release, it appears that Ferrell engages in hand to hand combat with a wild bear, which is an exact scenario that was played out in his 2004 "Anchorman" film.
I will admit, I am a fan of the Ferrell movies I have previously mentioned (with the exception of "Kicking and Screaming"), and I also admit that I will most likely see "Semi-pro" and laugh hysterically while I'm at it, but I wish that Will Ferrell would show an extra dimension and adopt a role that would lead him to branch out from his typical brand of comedy we have grown so accustomed to. If I wanted to see nuances of the same gags played out over and over and over again, all I have to do is watch a few "Family Guy" epsiodes.
