Greatest Sports Moment in a Movie

That last one might not really count

Dude, she lost it in her pool cabana...Damone walked her home, they were going for a swim, he pumped twice and made her a woman. Then ditched her when it was abortion time.

Some classic moments. Here are a few of mine:
- Benny's Grand Slam against the Little League team in The Sandlot, or if you prefer, the chase scene with Hercules (another underrated movie)
- Hitting the 3 wood into the cup with the last ball on the 72nd Hole of the US Open in Tin Cup
- Depansing the Private School snob during the roller hockey game in Airborne
- Wild Thing striking out Clue Haywood (Harry Doyle: Heywood leads the league in most offensive categories, including nose hair. When this guy sneezes, he looks like a party favor.) to win the AL East in Major League
- Ricky Bobby racing Jean Girard to the finish line in Talledega Nights
- Henry Rowengartner striking out Butch Heddo with the floater in Rookie of the Year
- Getting Ken Griffey Jr out with the hidden ball trick in Little Big League
- Billy Hoyle finally dunking in White Men Can't Jump
- Charlie Conway's triple deke to beat the Hawks in The Mighty Ducks

I'll have to think of some more...

I disagree. She lost it towards the beginning of the movie in the dugout with the college guy, who thought she was 18. The song "Somebody's Baby" played in the background.

Then later she got knocked up by Damone in the pool house.

I stand corrected...

AMD's right. Thinking about that reminded me about another great sport moment in that movie. When Spicoli and Forrest Whittaker's little brother wreck his car and then blame it on the rival team. Forrest Whittaker's character (Jefferson?) goes off on the other team.

Ha, what a classic moment.
Whittaker looks like the love-child of Lawrence Thomas* and LaVar (c. 2002) when he's tearing the other team apart.


*EDIT- I'm an idiot, but I won't change it.

Is Lawrence Thomas the love-child of Lawrence Taylor and Derrick Thomas?

Damnit, I'm drunk.

It didn't look right when I wrote it. Obviously it wasn't.

How about that one movie that had the aging veteran safety that was recently signed and on the supposedly final play he blows by this dumbass TE and blocks the FG. Then the other young, troubled superstar safety picks up the blocked ball and races down the field getting into position and drawing a penalty thereby giving us....errrr....I mean the "good guys" a last second chance to kick the game winning field goal with zero time on the clock. That would have been an awesome ending by itself but no, the super awesome script writers penned in a new kicker who'd just won the kicking job to try to make the FG. Of course he does and victory was ours! I mean the "good guys"!

What was the name of that movie? It came out last fall sometime so it should be hitting the shelf's at Blockbuster soon.

yea, i remember that movie. it's one of my all time favorites. it's also the sequal to another all time favorite. those same two teams played each other with the bad guys looking as though they were gonna win then all of the sudden the good guys score twice in about 2 or 3 minutes to win the game. that movie was released two years ago on a monday night.
