So as I was driving to Gainesville this past weekend, the local sports-talk radio station was listing off their Top 10 Favorite Sports Movies and Top 3 Sports Movies You're Embarrassed to Have Never Seen. Thought it might be fun to do here, too.
Again, it's favorite sports movies, not necessarily what you think to be the best sports movies. This was a lot tougher than I was expecting it to be.
Favorites
10. The Karate Kid We make sacred pact. I promise teach karate to you, you promise learn. I say, you do, no questions.
9. Mystery, Alaska I play hockey and I fornicate, 'cause those are the two most fun things to do in cold weather.
8. For Love Of The Game The boys are all here for ya, we'll back you up, we'll be there, cause, Billy, we don't stink right now. We're the best team in baseball, right now, right this minute, because of you. You're the reason. We're not gonna screw that up, we're gonna be awesome for you right now. Just throw.
7. The Cutting Edge Toe pick!
6. The Mighty Ducks Have you guys ever seen a flock of ducks flying in perfect formation? It's beautiful. Pretty awesome the way they all stick together. Ducks never say die. Ever seen a duck fight? No way. Why? Because the other animals are afraid. They know that if they mess with one duck, they gotta deal with the whole flock. I'm proud to be a Duck, and I'd be proud to fly with any one of you. So how about it? Who's a Duck?
5. Slap Shot They spent their own dough to get here, and they came here to see us! All right, let's show 'em what we got, guys! Get out there on the ice and let 'em know you're there. Get that fuckin' stick in their side. Let 'em know you're there! Get that lumber in his teeth. Let 'em know you're there!
4. The Replacements Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory... lasts forever.
3. Cool Runnings Our Father, who art in Calgary, Bobsled be thy name. Thy kingdom come, gold medals won, on Earth as it is in Turn Seven. With Liberty and Justice for Jamaica and Haile Selassie. Amen.
2. Jerry Maguire I will not rest until I have you holding a Coke, wearing your own shoe, playing a Sega game *featuring you*, while singing your own song in a new commercial, *starring you*, broadcast during the Superbowl, in a game that you are winning, and I will not *sleep* until that happens. I'll give you fifteen minutes to call me back.
1. BASEketball So, if the Beers beat Detroit and Denver beats Atlanta in the American Southwestern Division East Northern, then Milwaukee goes to the Denslow Cup, unless Baltimore can upset Buffalo and Charlotte ties Toronto, then Oakland would play LA and Pittsburgh in a blind choice round robin. And if no clear winner emerges from all of this, a two-man sack race will be held on consecutive Sundays until a champion can be crowned.
Never Seen
1. Raging Bull
2. Brian's Song
3. The Natural
