The uniforms alone make it worthy of placement in the Hall of Shame, not to mention Pacino's hack and over-the-top performance. Any Given Sunday is absolute crap, and I played football.

As far as the amazing number of Mighty Ducks movies, I left all sequels off the list since it would be made up entirely of them if I didn't. I haven't seen Air Bud, Snow Dogs, or She's The Man, but I'm willing to bet if I'd watch them they'd be added to the list. Maybe I'll get ripped and have a shitty Disney Sports Movie Marathon someday and create a Top 20. I almost put Juwanna Man on the list based on the cover alone, but I haven't managed to watch that one, either. Also, as a Packers fan <i>living in St. Cloud, MN</i>, I don't get nearly enough gloating, so thanks for that. :) Nicholas, thank you for your outstanding take on how dumb Cool Runnings was.

Cool Runnings blows. A story about a Jamaican bobsled team that takes place in Jamaica and doesn't makes only one offhand reference to ganja! Seriously? I know it's Disney, but they put perverted anti-semtic and racist shit in everything they do, but no pot jokes for the adults? Any Given Sunday shouldn't be on this list. Oliver Stone, regardless of what you think of his politics is a fucking master. Also, no mention of the "Air Bud" Franchise? How about "She's the Man?" The 3rd, 4th or 5th Might Ducks (I think its up to 5 now)? How about Snow Dogs? Dogsledding I think qualifies as a sport. You could easily replace Bagger Vance and honestly, The Babe wasn't nearly as bad as the aforementioned movies. Good list, but a bit limited in scope.

IMHO there have to be 10+ sports movies worse than The Fan and Any Given Sunday, which are not perfect films but by no means awful. Despite some differences of opinion this was a fun read. Bottom Ten lists are always more amusing than Top 10, with notable exception of those compiled by David Letterman. p.s. - Wimbeldon was by no means memorable but wasn't horiffic either. One of those movies you forget almost everything about within a few days of having watched it. I would have left off Ladybugs and stuck to movies about sports from High School level on up.

Though I have never had a professional football career, I grew up watching it, playing it in the backyard, listening to my dad's stories from his college days, and watching all 3 of my brothers play... in addition to being a diehard Badgers and Packers fan. You're right as far as the speech - that did make the movie worth watching. I just didn't like the film as a whole. It wasn't the storyline as much as the casting and the complete lack of dialogue with a ridiculous soundtrack. And Al Pacino as a head coach? C'mon. Dennis Quaid as the star QB? Not happening. Jamie Foxx was a little more believable as the replacement, but the only person they truly cast correctly (in my humble, disagreed-with opinion) was Ann-Margret as the boozehound mother of Cameron Diaz. Anyway, this isn't a film review, it's just a Top 10 list. P.S. I refuse to believe Cool Runnings was "awesome" or "amazing" but I might consider replacing it with Days of Thunder, which sucked so bad I almost forgot about it. Thanks for the comment!

Al Pacino's "Inches" speech is amazing and well, the movie itself kicked A$$. Cool Runnings is an amazing as well.

But you forgot Rollerball, if that even counts. Cool Runnings was awesome! But you forgot Rollerball, if that even counts.
