"We Are Marshall"

[Point of Order]

I know sports movies aren't always cinematic masterpieces, but I'm hoping for the best. Will you see it? What are your expectations?

 

[Bubba Fett]

I'll see it to watch former hippie-looking Georgia kicker Billy Bennett play the hippie-looking kicker for Marshall.

 

[shotglass]

My expectations are high ... probably higher than they should be. The subject matter should make for one of those movies which just leaves you numb.

 

[Cousin Jeffrey]

Only if Greg White is in it.

 

[Songbird]

My dad's name is Marshall.

 

[Double J]

My dad's name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III.

Fixed.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

I grew up in Huntington. I can't wait to see it.

8 reasons to watch that movie:

 

[spnited]

Sxy:
Heard a radio interview with Kate Mara, daughter of Giants owner John, granddaughter of Wellington, and one of the stars of this movie.
She said you boy Matt ganed like 30 pounds for this role so he'd look paunchy and older.
Sorry to disappoint you.

 

[OnTheRiver]

She said you boy Matt ganed like 30 pounds for this role so he'd look paunchy and older, like Moddy.

So he looks dazzling, dapper and all?
Cool.
I may see the movie now.

Also read McConaughey is sporting a Ted Williams managerial jersey.

I cannot wait to see this movie. It's the first movie I've really wanted to see in a theatre in a long time.

spnited,

Kate's actually the daughter of Chris Mara, who's the VP of Player Evaluation and potential successor to Ernie Accorsi.

She's also Dan Rooney's granddaughter (Art Rooney's great-granddaughter), as Chris married Dan Rooney's daughter.

And another thing about her...

I'd hit it.

That's some kind of NFL royalty right there.

Here's Kate:

Here's Kate:

Wow. She looks like Sophia Bush. See side saddle for more.

Damn, looks, wealth and, apparently, talent. She hit the trifecta.

 

[shockey]

kate's very cute. but sophia is just smoldering.

it's sweet hearing kate refer to the late wellington as "grandpa." she sang the anthem at giants stadium before the first game after wellington died, with her 40 cousins behind her. quite moving and great poise on her part.

I don't care what he's wearing... in fact, wearing nothing is a good thing. ... Even though MM likes to go without bathing and wearing deodorant. [ew]

I'm excited to see the movie, too.

Oh, and to jog ya'll's memory:
Randy Moss (a former Thundering Terd himself) was quoted in a Sports Illustrated article as saying the 1970 Marshall plane crash "was a tragedy, but it really wasn't nothing big." (wikipedia, of course).

Oh Shockey. We may disagree on Jeter's worth, but we agree on the important things.

 

[spnited]

Thanks Tommyp.. too many Maras to keep track of

But Kate is hot and, as Shockey said, was awesome doing the National Anthem after Well's death.

She was on with Fatcesa and his idiot partner Monday and was just great talking about the movie and singing the anthem with her 40 cousins standing behind her.
