Canyonero! Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 What the? I'm shocked, yes SHOCKED that no one has mentioned the greatest football movie of all time yet. Of course I speak of the Sinbad and Scott Bakula classic, Necessary Roughness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennesseeCarl Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 To be honest, there hasn't been a football movie that rivals either Hoosiers or Field of Dreams. Sort of odd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uptown Skins Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 I am glad no one said "The Replacements". That was the STUPIDEST sports movie ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Necessary Roughness. I still remember one scene: The dean (the villian who wants to get rid of football) gets a phone call in the night. It seems several of his players have snuck out to a bar outside town, and have gotten into a big fight with several players from the rivals ("The Pride of Texas"). The dean arrives to a bar surrounded by dozens of sherriff's cars, and smiles, because now he's going to be able to get rid of football, and walks in. The bar is full of football players (from both teams) and deputies. They're playing "Go Fish", and checkers. There's no booze to be seen. Everybody's being nice. The dean goes up to the sherriff, and demands that his players be arested, because the dean heard there was a terrible fight. The coach takes him asside, and explains: "Dean, you need to understand: If the sherriff arrests our players, then he also has to arrest the Texas players. Texas is undefeated right now. And, sherriffs who mess things up when Texas is undefeated, don't get re-elected." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinz fan Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 rudy.....greatest football flick of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 The best futbol movie of all time was "Alive". Course that was a soccer team, but hey, cannibalism! I'm pretty sure one of them ate at least one foot, and odds are one ate a ball or two... ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it was....gulp.....Tony Danza in the lead role. And beyond that, it was about a kicker! I'd rather watch Adam Sandler's hilarious kicker song they aired on NFL Sunday Ticket a couple of years ago! "The Lonesome Kicker" Me, I'm the Lonesome Kicker Extra points, field goals at your service One might think it comes with glory You might think different after you listen to my story My helmet is equipped with a tiny face mask What it possibly could protect, I do not know The other guys on the team Like to make fun of my little shoulder pads And also like to hide the special shoe I need to kick in the snow People think it's so easy To kick a field goal from the 30 yard line They forget to add seven yards for the snap And 10 more 'cause the goal posts are pushed way back In 1974, the uprights were right on the goal line But some of the players were running into them And getting hurt So screw the kicker Who cares about the kicker? But I kick that ball And I pray it goes straight If it does The coach says "Good job, number 8" He doesn't even know my name is Andre Kristacovitchlalinski, Jr. But that's the life I live The Lonesome Kicker Kickoffs can be so very scary Especially, if the returner breaks on through And I'm the only guy on the playing field left to tackle him I don't want to get hurt So I pretend to tie my shoe Once again, I'm ignored by my teammates and all my coaches "Go back where you came from!" Scream 70,000 fans Well, I know I could win their love back By catching a winning touch-down But, unfortunately, I was born with these very small hands And I hope that the cameras don't come in too close 'Cause they might see the tears in my eyes As I sit on this bench made of cold-hearted wood And the splinters go deep in my thighs And the towel boy snickers as he walks by The Lonesome Kicker Another blocked kick And everybody blames me But it was the Left Guard Who didn't pick up his man Oh, why can't they see... In my home country I could have been a minor league soccer player But I came to America Seeking fortune and seeking fame I didn't realize that if I shanked one And blew the point spread Some drunk guys would push me into their hibachi After the game So I go home at night 'Cause I never get invited To go drinking with the other guys And I sit in my chair, and I soak my foot As I eat a plate of cold french fries And my wife's out with her quote-unquote friend And my son can't look me in the eyes But that's the life I live The Lonesome Kicker Kicking for you They took my snow shoe They're going for two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
