Sports Blog » In the Movies

The guys over there at the Doberman on the Diamond came up with an interesting All Football Movie team on their blog.

I have to say, it’s quite the assembly of superstars, show-offs and eccentric personalities. Gotta love it. I’m just curious as to where Rod Tidwell from Jerry Maguire is on this list. Maybe put him in as the third, slot receiver? We all remember the hits he was taking over the middle.

I’m happy to see that our boy Forrest Gump, above, made the list though. “That boy sure is a runnin’ fool.”

Check out who made the cut.

I can’t believe I almost overlooked this and I must now pay it the attention it deserves.

Happy 40th Birthday Will Ferrell! You’re my hero.

You know, as I followed the Utah Jazz through the NBA Playoffs this year, I couldn’t quite put my finger on where I may have seen Andrei Kirilenko before.

But then it became so clear once I read the Top 30 Villians in Sports Movies on Rivalfish.com.

It’s Ivan Drago from Rocky IV!

Coincidence? I think not!
