Apparantly no sports movies were made before 1970, according to that list.
Pride of the Yankees, The Stratton Story, Knute Rockne All American come to mind. And where is Bull Durham, Field of Dreams and Bang the Drum Slowly?
It's like Bang the Drum Slowly..
’cept the drums a chick.

Is my mind a'goin on me or am I watchin you jibber jabber like some sorta jibberty box. Jibber Jabber on! Jibber Jabber on!
Just thought of another, How could he not list North Dallas 40 and Cinderella Man, 2 other great movie.
Also, he listed Caddyshack at #4. One of my favorite movies of all time, but it’s a comedy taking place at a country club, hardly a sports movie as far as I’m concerned.
Invincible??? Give me a break...
all I can picture when I think of that movie is the helmet moving around on Mark Wahlberg’s tiny head like a kid in Pop Warner, when he was running down the field.
Another glaring omission, in my opinion, “Rudy”. A little hokey, but a compelling story and great action shots.
The best sports movie ever.
The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh
In the 8th grade Mike Ditka won his school's Science Fair with a model of a working volcano. There were 17 other working volcano's made that day, but only one named Mount Ditka.

necessary roughness!!
this list is a travesty!! when this came out i think i choked a bit from laughing so hard. perhaps because the movie was aimed squarely at teens like myself back then but this is one of the few movies where rob schneider isn’t over-the-top lame. not to mention a ninja linebacker, which guaranteed some cheap and easy laughs.
“blow the whistle ref, blow the whistle!” there are some great quotes in that old movie
Loved that movie!

best part of that movie
was when the ninja defense starting jump kicking the offensive line when they snapped the ball.
great article in SI this week
Didn’t know if anyone read this yet, but in SI this week there is a great article on Don Coryell and how his offense changed football. Martz is interviewed and they talk about how he’s using a similar offense with our team this year.
Top 10 sports list huh...
He started out ok but I think he meant to write it in one of two ways.
1. Rocky
2. Rocky II
3. Rocky III
4. Rocky IV
5. Rocky V
6. Rocky Balboa
7. Rocky in the nursing home
8. Rocky’s funeral
9. Rocky as a Zombie
10. Rocky Meets Ditka
or
1-10 Hoosiers.
The Picket Fence is the greatest play designed……. ever.
If Mike Ditka punched you in the face, you'd have to fight off the urge to thank him.
Rocky Meets Ditka
as number 10? Just by having Ditka in the title automatically makes it #1!! :P

True but the list is based on the movies in chronilogical order so.....
after Rocky dies and then becomes a Zombie, he meets Ditka in heaven and we all know that Ditka is the beginning and the end therefor he is actually #1 even when listed #10. Your witness.

Rud-y! Rud-y! Rud-y!
Only movie I’ll admit made me cry.
by NorthSideBearsFan on Jul 9, 2010 12:09 AM CDT reply actions
You didn't cry during Brian's Song?
Yet you cried during Rudy? What the hell’s the matter with you?? ;)
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
I remain a pessimistically hopeful Bears fan.
