Since I made the mistake of waiting too long to make my Sports movie selection, most of the so called "prestige" sports movies have been taken, so I've decided to go with one that might not be the greatest sports movie ever, but at least I didn't have to pick The Mighty Ducks!
Team MissTeeks selects
The Replacements in the
Sports category.
This is just one of those movies I like to watch on a laid back Saturday or Sunday afternoon when football season is over. It's a pretty funny movie and Keanu Reeves is actually not a bad actor in it!

Jimmy McGinty: Listen up! By this time tomorrow the strike will be officially over and you men will be out of a job. Up until now Dallas hasn't been afraid of you, and they should be because you have a powerful weapon working for you. There is no tomorrow for you, and that makes you all very dangerous people!
