History
In The Longest Yard, Hazen, a very big fan of football, approached Paul Crewe and forced him to participate in a football game between the guards and the cons, by which Crewe reluctantly accepted after having his guards harass him.

Later on in the film, Hazen approached Crewe and forced him to lose the game otherwise he would deem Crewe responsible for the death of Caretaker. Hazen tried everything in his power to cheat his way into letting the guards win the football game but Crewe managed to win. After the guards lost to the convicts, Hazen got frustrated with Krauner for losing a game by which he cheated in and pulled out a gun after he noticed Crewe heading toward the exit thinking he was going to escape. He made Krauner try to shoot Crewe only to find out that Crewe was actually getting the football.
