I also feel like Remember the Titans deserves a shout for best sports film ever.

So he is an Arsenal player or…

Incredible movie. Not sure which speech is better…this one

Or…this one

Also, at one point in that movie Denzel Washington eats a single grape off a spoon.

I don’t even remember that but I genuinely lol’d in real life as that sentence.

Do you like American Football? I know nothing about it but that film hit me hard in the feels

That’s perfectly fine but we were in fact discussing sports comedies.

I definitely read sports films at one point but I’m too lazy to scroll up so your word is law to me

My guess is that it’s done and dusted but they’re waiting until after the Euros to do the medical and announce. Meanwhile journals are just seizing on the uncertainty to make up click bait stories.

I don’t think they would move forward with loaning Saliba without White being a done deal.

That movie has it all though!

There are real moments of levity mixed in with the absolute devastating scene when Julius goes to see Gerry in the hospital and the nurse is like ā€œoh sir, it’s family onlyā€ because Julius is Black. And Gerry is like ā€œAlice, are you blind? Don’t you see the family resemblance? That’s my brother.ā€ Tears. Every fucking time.

Have you watched the new Mighty Ducks, the Game Changer series?

My son is playing Pee Wee this year… and he was laughing the tempo of the game on TV…

My wife, who doesn’t know much of hockey, also laughed at the flying V

I haven’t!

The Baltimore Jewish community isn’t exactly a hockey hotbed so I didn’t grow up playing or watching much. Doubt I’d recognize how bad the sports scenes are. I do want to watch it though. I love Lauren Graham and she’s in it.

This cracked me up and made me think of this famous quote from Irelands best ever commentator.

SeĆ”n Ɠg Ó’HailpĆ­n… his father’s from Fermanagh , his mother’s from Fiji, neither a hurling stronghold

If you don’t know what hurling is check it out. Worlds fastest field sport.

My childhood bff is from South Africa and I’m from a country of intolerable hatred over subtle differences but I feel like this film is what made me want to be a better person and actually understand intolerance.

Also Caddyshack.

Caddyshack cured my class hatred of golfers and fear of rodents.

Powerful stuff.

The name of that film was such a red herring

Snipo and Harrelson had great chemistry in that movie. I’ve got a huge soft spot for Money Train too, such a 90s movie fucking take me back son
