So we all love a good movie and with many of us being sports fans of one ilk or another we also love our sports movies. In fact many sports movies rank among Americas all time favorite movies. Many of them are true stories that inspire us in some way or move us emotionally. Others are nothing short of slapstick comedy but for some reason we still love them no matter how stupid the humor might seem. Others are just drama's wrapped around sports or a sporting event of some sort.
I have one simple question for you tonight. Whats your all time favorite sports themed movie and why?
Oh and don't forget to vote in our poll.

what do we think about this CFL RB?
Michael Irvin was excited because theu guy broke a teamate’s jaw then got into another fight the same day. he said we need some bad boys on the team… i like that he is 245lbs. if Daniel Thomas doesnt run big maybe this guy will…
Jason Scott_90 - February 13, 2012 via Android app

Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
Its confuses me too.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
Phinsphana I know your trying to steal my Texy-Pooh
21Dave - February 13, 2012
Nah...
Only Bacon is trying to steal your Texy-Pooh.
Finhead83 - February 13, 2012
LOL
21Dave - February 13, 2012
Have you seen Bacon? I don't think he could steal a packet of sugar.
texascowpunk - February 14, 2012
Caddyshack for the win
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
LOL Win? How many votes are there now?
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
Seems to be a 4 way tie at this moment.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
That will change
Bill Murrey: the most interesting man in the world
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
Bill is also in the movie I voted for so theres that.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
Bend it like Beckham?
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
No I don't think he is in Nickys favorite movie of all time.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
Happy Gilmore
I voted for Radio, but later realized that Happy Gilmore is my fav.
finzrule - February 13, 2012
Talladega Nights is pretty funny, too
As you can tell, I like stupid movies, lol
finzrule - February 13, 2012
Semi-Pro was great as well
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
Also good.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
Oh yeah also great.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
I'm going to emotionally retract my pick in favor for Rocky
Yo Aidrian
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
No emotional retractions will be allowed.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
SLAPSHOT,......BEST MOVIE OF ALL-TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tim McCraken : Dunlop,…you suck cock !
Reg Dunlop : All I can get ( with a shitting grin as Tim “Dr Hook” McCraken stares back confused & speechless ).
Classic,….
Ohiofinfan4life - February 13, 2012
Dude I could have bet money that would be your choice.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
My Slapshot collection is impressive,....
Jersey, 20th year anniversary puck, SI w/ the Hanson’s on the cover, signed Paul Newman 8×10 from the movie, signed Hanson Bros 8×10, signed Dave “Killer” Carlson 8×10, framed movie poster, &………a one-of-a-kind Slapshot montage poster promoting a midnight showing in of all places,………..Texas, at some roller rink.
Ohiofinfan4life - February 13, 2012
Nice.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
i like moneyball
Why isnt that an option? Lol
dolphinfan4lyfe - February 13, 2012 via mobile
Sorry, I was thinking about that one and forgot to add it. Sooooo many choices.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
Because I miss fat Jonah Hill aka the funny version
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
LOL Yeah whats with this "I want to be taken serious" crap?
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
I am going to be so pissed If he gets an oscar for money ball
It basically invalidates my entire perspective on life
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
LOL Just because you said that he will.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
I mean there are funny actors, and there are serious actors. Only one man should be both
Bill Murrey
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
Its Murray and he has done some brilliant work as a straight man.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
I loved him in zombieland
daytonadolfan - February 13, 2012
He's great in everything. I love him in all of the Wes Anderson movies too.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
Bill Murrey once arm wrestled big foot to a draw
And the only reason he didn’t win, he was a zombie at the time
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
Hes just broadening his range
At least it worked better for him than it did for Jim Carey,lol
dolphinfan4lyfe - February 14, 2012 via mobile
LOL Right.
texascowpunk - February 14, 2012

Wait, its not over till...........
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
Now we have a tie for the lead between Caddyshack and Major League. If I have to serve as the tie breaker I give it to Caddyshack but we shall see.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
Caddyshack in the lead with 3 votes.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
(Child like squeal)
Btw I totally didn’t sign out so I could vote once as an outside, that would be crazy. (shifty eyes)
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
Damn you man. You broke the bond of trust!
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
I actually didn't
I was going to but it is a hassle signing back in on a phone. So the vote is still legit
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
Do you not use the app?
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
I don't I use wifi, then open the main page instead of the mobile site
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
Ah. Well there is also an app.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
Apps!
i don't have time for things that make things easierPhinsphana - February 13, 2012
Makes sense when relating it to your normal stream of logic.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
thats alot of movies, i have no idea which to pick...
#1Heatfan - February 13, 2012
Pick Caddyshack
Or Bill Murrey will find you
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
too late, i went with a serious movie
#1Heatfan - February 13, 2012
there is nothing more serious than respecting Bill Murrey
He busted ghosts damnit
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
He had a clear bowling ball with a rose in the middle of it, damn it!
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
Screw Bill Murray...
For all his ghost busting, my house is still haunted!
Finhead83 - February 13, 2012
But wives do not count.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
That's BS...
Why would he only take the easy jobs?
Finhead83 - February 13, 2012
LOL Well............
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
Screw Bill Murrey?! SCREW BILL MURREY!
YOU-YOU-MONSTER
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
MY WIFE IS STILL HERE!
Finhead83 - February 13, 2012
i ended up going with Million Dollar Baby which i just happened to watch 2 days ago
its a great movie…
#1Heatfan - February 13, 2012
That is a great movie and you can never go wrong with Eastwood.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
yup, i just found out he is 82 years old... he still looks like he can kick the crap out of me
#1Heatfan - February 13, 2012
He might be able to.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
Clint Eastwood wishes he was Bill Murrey
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
OMG! It took all of my will power to not ban you for that statement.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
Ok I will give Eastwood the good the bad and the ugly but besides that what has he been in
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
Had a discussion with a co-worker and the wife over Denzel Washington and Chuck Norris...
About what would happen if the two fought. Guess you can add Eastwood in there. Personally, I think they’d disappear, camera footage would go missing, and the myths would go crazy… That or the world would end.
Finhead83 - February 13, 2012
Since you like to do what I say please stop down and take the time to punch yourself in the face a few times.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
Done......
…………………..OWWWW
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
Good. Now I feel better.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
Now reach into Bacon's cage to give him a cracker...
Finhead83 - February 13, 2012
love em all (or at least the ones I've seen, lol), but especially love bend it like beckham, Friday night lights, remember the titans and slapshot
Quick question, does anyone know when we are allowed to start resigning our own players?
AnishB15 - February 13, 2012 via mobile
It's time to hide...
Good evening!
Finhead83 - February 13, 2012
Wha?
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
No idea...
Finhead83 - February 13, 2012
Oh man.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
Caddyshack has pulled away with 5 votes.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
I should smack you for even listing some of those options...
Finhead83 - February 13, 2012
I was looking at lists that I could find. Some I had not even seen and others that I have I somehow forgot.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
What who doesn't think white man can't jump is an instant classic
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
It's the power of Murrey
Greastest actors of all time
1.Bill Murrey
2. Everyone else
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
BS...
Caddyshack has nothing on The Replacements...Finhead83 - February 13, 2012
The band The Replacements? Yeah I love them too.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
You love the man so much that you show him by repeatedly spelling his name wrong. EXCELLENT!
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
im not a smart man, just a man
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
A man? I though you were like 16 or so.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
That converts to a man in dog years though.
Finhead83 - February 13, 2012
18 totally different than 16
I can gamble on a boat now
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
Yes and go to big boy prison. Good times!
texascowpunk - February 14, 2012
Don't criticize his loyalty to the man!
We already know Cecil Fielder is his favorite QB!
Finhead83 - February 13, 2012
Remember the Titans
MiamihastheDolphins.... - February 13, 2012
FOOTBALL IS FUN, SIR!
MiamihastheDolphins.... - February 13, 2012
Its a good one.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
how do u go against Denzel?
MiamihastheDolphins.... - February 13, 2012
Did I? I like that movie but Kingpin is genius.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
can't say that i have seen it
is it a bowling movie?
does Big Lebowski has bowling, so it’s a sport movie!
i vote for The Dude!
MiamihastheDolphins.... - February 13, 2012
Yeah I love the Big Lebowski. Hell is one of my all time fav's but not sure that it is the theme of the movie
like in Kingpin.
texascowpunk - February 14, 2012
Im a big fan of the movie " Sugar"
Gives you a feel of what these foreign players go thru trying to make to the big leagues.
PhinsAllDay - February 14, 2012 via mobile
Man I hope she does not screw him up.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
Maybe she thinks she can buy part of the team for cheaper if she dates a player...
Finhead83 - February 13, 2012
Gun meet mouth
My response if I see her at joe robbie
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
LOL Seems like a bit of an overreaction.
Don’t get me wrong I think that whole clan of Kardashians needs to just go away. Far, far away.
texascowpunk - February 14, 2012
Ok I'm off to sleep for a few. MHTD your in charge I guess.
texascowpunk - February 13, 2012
Cya Texy-Pooh!
Finhead83 - February 13, 2012
HAHA Night Night Pookie Bear!!!
21Dave - February 13, 2012
Peace out
We came we saw we kicked its ass
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
That's not Texy-Pooh's motto...
His is “I came, I saw through bifocals, I drank my prune juice.”
Finhead83 - February 13, 2012
it is a line from Ghostbusters
I don’t disagree about the prune juice though
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
Sup
kmb8488 - February 13, 2012
I WANT A TIM HARDAWAY BOBBLE HEAD!!!
MiamihastheDolphins.... - February 13, 2012
I think we all do
kmb8488 - February 13, 2012
BS...
I know you’re looking for a Skip Bayless bobblehead!
Finhead83 - February 13, 2012
Skip bayless can go suck the monkey
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
I really hate him
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
God, that guy is the worst
Probably the most hated guy on ESPN, and that’s saying a lot.
kmb8488 - February 13, 2012
LOL
That’s why I mentioned him above all others.
Finhead83 - February 13, 2012
i just realized how fucking awful that guy is this week
i actually watched his “Show” a couple times this week…
is that what he really believes? or is it just an act?
i hope its an act.
MiamihastheDolphins.... - February 13, 2012
He really believes it
Effin tool
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
It's just sensationalist garbage. Few people can actually be that much of an oblivious douche
He ties Jason Whitlock for “most hated media person” in my book. That. Guy. Sucks. And not because of his stupid joke, either. He’s just not funny.
kmb8488 - February 13, 2012
There's only a few I like at ESPN.
James Walker of the AFC East blog isn’t bad, but I liked Tim Graham. I also don’t mind Mike & Mike in the morning for comedy reasons.
Finhead83 - February 13, 2012
I think Walker's a Dolphins hater, too
That guy so wishes he could just cover the AFC North and be done with it.
kmb8488 - February 13, 2012
I actually don't get that vibe from him.
He actually seems pretty even-keeled.
Finhead83 - February 13, 2012
God, we must not be reading the same stuff then
From what I’ve seen, he pans everything Dolphins related. Jake Long? Walker thinks he’s overrated. Any of our draft picks? Walker thinks they suck. Our QB situation? Walker thinks it’s terminal. And yet, he can’t stop sucking off NE. Those guys can do no wrong in Walker’s eyes. He probably thinks they won the Super Bowl this year.
kmb8488 - February 13, 2012
the 2 worst guys
are Jon Barry and Skip Bayless and Mel Kiper
MiamihastheDolphins.... - February 13, 2012
Math is hard!
texascowpunk - February 14, 2012
I like the herd
And some of sports nation
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
I don't mind Cowherd too much.
I don’t agree with much he says (I do with some), but I like that he actually stands up to what he believes.
Finhead83 - February 13, 2012
the Herd is pretty good
He’s pretty sensible
MiamihastheDolphins.... - February 13, 2012
Dude he believes all his own crap. Hes a giant douche.
texascowpunk - February 14, 2012
Mike Greenberg is up there
MiamihastheDolphins.... - February 13, 2012
lol. Yes
He sucks, too.
kmb8488 - February 13, 2012
Well this has been fun but. I got an early meeting tomorrow, due you need cab fare? Ok I'll call you.
Phinsphana - February 13, 2012
