worst/cheesiest sports movie?

[Herbert Anchovy]

I became embroiled in this pressing argument when I went to my local pub for a few refreshments the other day. There are lots of choices, but my vote still goes to "The Slugger's Wife," a turkey of a movie where we're led to believe that Randy Quaid is a good catcher and a chick magnet. There's no nudity from Rebecca DeMornay, she just sings a bunch of bad cover songs and whines about her relationship. The star has practically never been heard from again. Al Hrabosky plays a part in the unfolding drama. And Pete Van Wieren and Skip Caray still joke about getting a $1.30 check every other year for their supporting roles.

The Mighty Ducks might not be the cheesiest ever, but it's in the discussion.

The worst ever might be Major League III: Back to the Minors.

Does Gymkata count?

Caddyshack II was an unmitigated steaming bag of warm diarrhea

"The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh" has to be in this mix.

Rookie of the Year?

I remember Rebecca DeMornay throwing out the first pitch at a Braves game right around the time the movie came out...she totally threw the ball like a girl.

Oh, man, Rookie of the Year was bad.

I also have go with the basketball movie where 5-foot-3 Robbie Benson plays a blue chip recruit, gets high and acts like a gooftball before the asshole coach makes him run steps, and scores with the English tutor.

I love--LOVE--Rookie of the Year. It's exactly what it was intended to be.

For worst/cheesy, you gotta go with a movie that was shooting for drama and angst and chills and glory....and instead comes off like a SNL skit. What's that last Kevin Costner movie, about the pitcher? Yeah, like that.

 

[HoopsMcCann]

yeah, these are two different categories

worst? wow, so many to choose from. what about ed -- the one with matt leblanc and the monkey. i never saw it, but, well, i saw enough to know it deserved to be here.

there's the one where whoopi goldberg was a basketball coach?

how about celtic pride?

and 21, i believe you're thinking about 'for love of the game' -- god, that sucked ass

 

[patchs]

With all respect to our Canadian hosts:
Slapshot..... 2

 

[patchs]

I agree with 21 on "Rookie of the Year." Exactly what it was supposed to be. I didn't mind.

Damn, all this way and we haven't mentioned "The Replacements" once? Y'all, we's slippin'.

Keanu Reeves trying to give a Herb Brooks speech (Keanu trying to give any speech, ****)? Gene Hackman in the mail-it-in of his life? Cheerleaders doing softcore routines on the sidelines (Vince Jr. probably ripped off the idea from this!)? And that got-awful unintentionally hilarious "I Will Survive" scene in the jailhouse?

I dare say:
E.O.T. ;D

Yeah, but it was Jon Favreau's best performance since Rudy.

 

[Trey Beamon]

We have a winner.

Apparently, there's an "Air Bud" home video trilogy. Good god...
