PrintI must admit, I have been extremely bored lately. And there hasn't been any significant Eagles news for some time. This is a really rough time of the seasons, and I have notice that this site has gotten significantly less responses to posts. Probrably because the everything is sooo slow. So lets pick up the pace a little and have some fun. Lets talk about whats the best football movie you have ever seen? Something that made you want to strap on the pads and run outside ready to know over the first street lamp you saw.
Lets have fun with this one guys.

My favorite is The Program
Lattimer was one crazy cat. I think he was based on Bill Romanowski.
My brother tried to get me to lay in the middle of the street. But I wasn’t that crazy. Not sure if he ever did it though. My brother is nuts, I bet he did.
Does anyone remember this movie?
Bleed green, or don't bleed at all!
yeah
GREAT….and SICK movie!!!
"What did it feel like? That collision, I didn't feel nothing, because he was pretty much defenseless. It was like running through a cardboard box. Seriously. Cardboard box."- Sheldon Brown on his pounding of Reggie Bush in the '06 Playoffs
Good Ones
Rudy
Little Giants
Invinible
Garbage Picking Field Goal Kicking Philadelphia Phenomenon
The Longest Yard (both)
haha, Little Giants was funny.
Ed Oniel (AKA) Al Bundy was the cocky coach of the bad guy team, and Rick Moranis was the coach of the Giants.
Great flick.

I have to say, I did like Any Given Sunday, but Oliver Stone’s jump cuts always get to me. I get the sense that he doesn’t actually want me to watch his movies because he never just lets you see the movie. Rather, he jumps around all the time so I feel like this must be the way a grasshopper sees the world. A grasshopper on exstacy.

remember that cheesy song in the end.
Fake spin off of the Superbowl Shuffle.
Bleed green, or don't bleed at all!
Invincible & Replacements
Finally saw Invincible the other day.. and really enjoyed it. I should have seen it earlier.
And from left field, if you’re truly bored… try The Replacements. It’s full of cheese, but it entertains… I love rewatching it.. From the kicker, the ‘dancers’ turned cheerleaders, Madden being Madden, and Neo (I know Kung Fu-tball!) trying to be a QB… it’s great fun for a lazy day.
jerry mcguire
thats my fav movie of all time .. not just football movies. . but replacements is funny .. program and friday night lights are by far the best .. express was a lil let down for me .. and i loved varsity blues

I mean, he's not Gene Hackman or that guy who played Napoleon Dynamite, but he's okay.
I was just standing here. Tom Cruise locked himself in the closet
Then JIBTA come and now, JIBTA in the closet too.
Please Tom Cruise and JIBTA come out the closet!
But then I calm myself down, and I pull out my gun!
If Tom Cruise and JIBTA don’t come out the closet, I’m gonna cap this bitch!

This would be my favorite. The story of Brian Piccolo and his best friend Gayle Sayers. Also, Something For Joey. I did a book report on it in 7th grade - complete with a cut out football as the cover. And then there is was Heaven Can Wait. A star fo

It’s worth it just to see the nudity. The teachers long ass nipples in the strip club seen.

Ali Larter, whipped cream bikini... need anyone say more?
Ok, well I will, she’s also and running around in a cheerleading uniform. Then again, you do have to deal w/ James Van Der Dick.. and Jon Voight. And the teacher is hot, if I remember correctly.
I’m okay w/ any man that spawned Angelina.

Tie between 3
Invincible, Remember the Titans, and Rudy.
As long as there is evil in the world, the cowboys will have their fans.

game. set. match.

anyone who doesn’t say “The Program” hasn’t seen it yet.

“The original release of the film contained a scene where several ESU players lay on the yellow dividing line of a busy local road as a test of their courage. When two young men were killed, and several others injured, by imitating the stunt, Buena Vista excised the scene from the film. No post-theatrical versions of the movie feature the sequence, leading many to speculate that the studio destroyed the actual camera negatives scene.”

One of the greatest scenes in any sports movie.
My brother tried that, I was like, dude you are crazy, you do that. Theres no way I would lay in the middle of the road.
Its a shame that some of the younger people lever got a chance to see that scene. I thinks its gone for ever. (Unless You tube has it somewhere)
This movie came out when I was playing high school ball. Like I said, Lattimer was a crazy dude.
Bleed green, or don't bleed at all!
If only JIBTA
could’ve had the chance to see that scene during his formative years.

All the Right Moves – Early 80’s movie with Tom Cruise pre-insanity
Longest Yard – Original version with Burt Reynolds
Any Given Sunday – It has some cheesey moments, but overall I liked it
The Waterboy
Varsity Blues – another movie that has a cheese factor, but I was still entertained
Rudy – I’m not a Notre Dame fan, but I get a little pumped up watching that. I wonder how accurate it was, considering the “accuracy” of Invincible.
I really did not like The Replacements, but I did like the cheerleaders in it.

was anybody famous on this show?
- looks familiar? But just because he’s big, white, and bold, I can’t assume its Goldberg or something.

I actually remember that series.
It only lasted one season on ESPN, but I liked it.

John Madden killed it
he admittedly never saw the show, but trashed it non stop, because one of the characters was a crack head. If you get the chance to pick it up, it was THE SHIT

I heard it was more about the players lives outside of football, and not much actually about football.
I guess it was The Wire with football players as the main cast. They shouldn’t have canceled that show.
Don’t know why it was soo controversial.
Bleed green, or don't bleed at all!
It was a good mix of both
I mean the football part of it was awesome too. There was a point where it was coming up on the playoffs and their destiny was not in their own hands so to speak. Great show. I bought the whole season at gamestop for $20 used. Own it!

it was pretty good...
nothing compared to the wire…a little over the top in some areas and some bad actors, but overall a decent show…
nice...
though i don’t think it beats the end of The Happening (I want my $10 bucks back) (sarcastically stated, unless ur a cowboys fan, then it might be true)

can’t say, I’d never heard of Definitely Maybe before this post. I don’t do bitch flicks. The Happening at least looked promising, then spiraled out of control into an hour and a half of my life I’ll never get back, damn you M. Night Shamalom or what ever his name is.
