Greatest Fictional Athlete in a Sports Movie ?

And Rocky is about some low IQ Italian dude who can’t even spell cat. Nobody that uses the word yo should be on the list.

 

you guys suck. fine put lincoln hawk on the list with steve "mental case" nebraska, charles jefferson and thornton melon. they would never get votes anyways.

 

lol, I think everyone is just having some fun busting your balls and being a general ass on this thread.

 

per their usual ! so much for making a fun thread?

 

Are you kidding? This thread is great!

I'm getting a chuckle at all of the references and things that I have forgot about.

Hell, I even changed my av and sig.

 

Come on catfish, this is a fun thread. At least we aren’t abusing your trivia thread.

 

How about Philo Beddoe?


(Wait for it. It will come to you.)

 

Can we add Joe "Coop" Cooper and Doug "Sir Swish" Remer to this conversation please?

 

I'm not afraid of any man, but when it comes to sharing my feelings with a woman, my stomach turns to jelly.

 

"Clyde . . . Left turn."

 

My wife said she's naming the next dog after him.

And fisticuffs is the original true sport and I will fight every damn one of you that disagrees.

 

I might have missed one, but isn't Rocky Bwlboa the only World Champion on that list? That makes him the greatest "sport character".

 

That's only because he wrote the script and starred in those flicks. If you ask me, it's a thrown fight. Fix!!!!! Fix!!!!!!

 

I'm with Tim on this. It's a great thread Catfish. We're just busting your chops a bit and still adding to the thread.

 

It's called, "Noodling".

 

That's awesome!!!! Thanks for the laugh, Lyman.

 

I thought that is what happens when you forget to take your little blue pill?

 

I can see a direct correlation there.

 

my morning pills are brown for BP, white for Vitamin D and red for this website ! I call them the "BWW Pills!" Ah.

 

Another nomination for you. This one just hit me from out of the blue. Now I'm going to have to watch this movie again. Good flick too and won Best Original Screenplay Oscar.

I love the Dad (Paul Dooley) complaining about "no more damn "eenie" food in my house. I want American food."
