Dell's recent list was the Top 10 Greatest Football movies ever. Wanted to get everybody's thoughts on the list, do you agree with it? What movies should be higher? What movies should have been included in the Top 10?

Personally, I think Varsity Blues should be a little higher. Easily my favorite football movie, high school Quarterback who faces the adversity of "high school politics" in Texas football. Plus the blonde chick's whipped cream bikini ;)

How come no one ever mentions "The Best Of Times" on these lists? That is, in my opinion, the FUNNIEST football movie ever. Robin Williams and Kurt Russell are a hoot in it. If you haven't ever seen it, make it a point to rent it. The Encore movie channels are good for running it several times a year.

"Necessary Roughness" was pretty good too.

Haven't seen The Blindside yet, but no doubt in my mind, it doesn't matter how many more football movies come out, Rudy will always be #1. That is one of my favorite movies ever.

I've heard great things about The Blindside as well.

Also, I thought Gridiron Gang was garbage when the previews first came out but one of my friends told me about it, so I checked it out and it is a great movie as well... I think it should be Top 10.

Both great movies. It's more of what makes it a better movie for each viewer, comedy that makes you bust a gut, or drama that moves you.

But you get different opinions in a subjective "top ten" post like this, no? ;)

It's not out yet, but I'm betting the farm it will be a doozie!

It's about the Cowbitches, and how they have fallen upon a 100 year streak without winning a Super Bowl. Starts off with them on a 14 year skid with no play off wins, tide turns a little, yet still no Super Bowl.

Not gonna spoil the ending for you guys.....but....100 year streak should give you some insight. It's kind of a softhearted merger of Brokeback Mountain, and the Dallas Cowboys. It could actually be considered a love story.

Coming soon to a theater near you.

:cheers2:

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
