The Longest Yard easily knocked off Necessary Roughness in the last round of our contest. That matchup was between two older movies, but both comedies. Today's matchup will pit two newer movies against one another, one comedy and one drama.
#3 seeded "The Waterboy" starring Adam Sandler is a movie I'm sure we've all seen because it's on cable all the time. Plot summary - A football team water boy discovers he has a unique tackling ability and becomes a member of the team.
The opponent is the #6 seed "Radio" starring Cuba Gooding Jr. This is the 3rd inspirational football movie in the bracket, with the other two already advancing to the next round. Plot summary - The story of a high school coach and the developmentally challenged man whom he took under his wing.
