Hmm. It's been a while since I last posted a Top Ten list.
TOP TEN FOOTBALL MOVIE CLICHES
10. The quarterback's jersey number is 12, just like Joe Namath.
9. The "bida" team in the story often features a wide receiver who can run like the wind.
8. Sadly, this wide receiver who can run like the wind also has butterfingers.
7. This wide receiver who can run like the wind but has butterfingers is almost always black.
6. There's always at least one scrappy little guy on the "bida" team.
5. The scrappy little guy often wins the big game for the team, or at least scores a crucial touchdown.
4. There are almost always cameo appearances by former and current football players.
3. The coach is often a straitlaced guy who gets tough on his team before they eventually bond.
2. The coach often delivers a stirring halftime speech to inspire the players to improve after a dismal first half.
And the No. 1 football movie cliché is...
1. Of course, the underdog team always wins the big game.
