"Best of Times" turns out to be real

[TheSportsPredictor]

Remember this movie from the '80s when Robin Williams sets up a redemption game 10 years after he drops a big pass in a HS football game?

They're doing it for real in PA:

EASTON, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- It's been dubbed the No. 1 high school rivalry in the United States. But last decade, Phillipsburg High School and Easton Area High School left the football field without a clear winner: a 7-7 tie.

This weekend, Phillipsburg and Easton highs will settle 1993's "sister kiss" once and for all.

Back then, there was no overtime in high school games, and it's stung ever since. In gridiron parlance, it's known as "kissing your sister."

"I didn't know how to feel, stopping the end of my high school career being on a tie," said Bruce Lebitz, an inside linebacker for the 1993 Phillipsburg team.

That's about to change. The gridiron grudge match will be played this weekend. There will be no ties this time around. They're even breaking a century-old Turkey Day tradition, all in the name of who gets the bragging rights from that night so many years ago.

I thought this thread was going to be about the "best of times/worst of times" lede, and somebody actually using it in 2009.
I am disappointed.

Well, then... maybe Herm Edwards?
From imdb:

Former Kansas City Chiefs head coach Herman Edwards was one of the extras used in the football scenes.

No. But a good flogging might help.

Aw, that movie wasn't so bad.

Kurt Russell's rendition of "Close to You" is definitive.
