A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

SOMEBODY PLEASE SEND THE STAFF AT CRACKED A DVD OF THE BABE: Cracked has an amusing look at The Five Most Un-athletic Sports Movie Performances today, but inexplicably they fail to mention the first two examples that pop into any sports movie fan's head--John Goodman as an uber-corpulent Babe Ruth in The Babe and Anthony Perkins going psycho as Jimmy Piersall in Fear Strikes Out. Gary Cooper deserves mention for Pride of the Yankees, but I'm usually so teary eyed by the end of the film I have forgotten Cooper's weak swing. (And a note to the copy-editing crew over at Cracked: If you are going to mock Rudy, otherwise known as the greatest sports film ever made even it is about Notre Dame, at least spell Astin right--it's with an "i" not an "o.")
