March Movie Madness

As it is now March, we thought it would be fun to have a Selection Sunday of our own. Each host chose 5 of their favorite sports movies that we then seeded (randomly pulled out of a hat) into a bracket to face off each week until we have a champion.

This was a very unscientific bracket, we pretty much made our picks off the top of our heads with not much thought so we obviously overlooked some, like…

Eight Men Out, The Natural, Baseketball, Hoop Dreams, The Rookie, The Bad News Bears, Slapshot, Caddyshack, The Blindside, For Love of the Game, The Greatest Game Ever Played, 42, Above the Rim, Coach Carter, Glory Road, The Air Up There, Spacejam, He Got Game, Semi-Pro, Like Mike, The Karate Kid, Days of Thunder, Kingpin, Dodgeball, Tin Cup, Raging Bull, Ali, The Hustler, Chariots of Fire, Any Given Sunday, We Are Marshall, Little Giants, Miracle, Draft Day, Cool Runnings, Invincible, School Ties, Warrior, The Fighter, Over the Top, Million Dollar Baby, Balls of Fury, Brian’s Song, Knute Rockne All American, Talladega Nights, Blades of Glory, Cutting Edge, Cinderella Man, Ladybugs, Kicking and Screaming, Bend it Like Beckham, Shaolin Soccer, Pride of the Yankees, Creed, and Take Me Out to the Ballgame.

Any we missed? Are our picks way off?
