Does Appearing in a Movie Impair A Sportswriter's Objectivity?

You are owed a trunk full of Jimmy Choos and Manolo Blahniks in residuals, gingerb. Please report to (address redacted) in Coney Island and dial (number redacted) and ask for Stephon Marbury's cousin.

 

I don't see a problem with it.

I missed out on a chance to be an extra in Major League II. I didn't tell my dad about it until
after the thing happened. He said "I would have done it!"

I was pissed.

 

Unless their primary job is to write about ESPN/Disney, why would it matter?

 

Oddly enough, Tom Berenger is pissed he was in it too.
It cost him his chance to be in Substitute II.

 

I have MLII on DVD and it's autographed by an extra.

 

I would have killed to be a part in that movie. I wish Wesley Snipes would have thought the same. And I, too, own II. I bought a friend of mine Back To The Minors for Festivus. He watched it the other day, but has yet to give me his take. I'm thinking that's an indication in itself.

 

I don't know how Snipes would pair with Jesse Ventura in Black Thunder, White Lightening.

How could your friend not like The Buzz and Scott Bakula

 

"Mine fell the hardest."
"Mine are the deadest."

I'm not sure if he liked the movie. He's a big Uecker, fan -- and who isn't? -- but I'm not sure if he'd get on the Downtown train.

 

It's hard to live up to the first two, and the third's plot is a stretch, if I recall correctly. I haven't seen III for a few years and I've only seen it once or twice.

 

Elaborate for the unwashed, pls.

 

To be fair, it would be hard not to rip Varsity Blues.

P.S. -- Maybe Dickie Dunn can check in and explain what it was like after doing Slap Shot (don't go telling me he wasn't real, either).

 

A "stretch" is putting it lightly.
