Why aren't there many good football movies, compared to baseball movies? The only one I can think of offhand is The Longest Yard (original, not Adam Sandler.) Is it just harder to film a sport with bigger teams?

sneed got robbed of the pro bowl
The Replacements starring Keanu Reeves. North Dallas Forty from 1979 is great. Little Giants is a good kid's movie
This lil homie made the play of the game yesterday
Football is an inherently unwholesome sport. It’s simulated warfare where we pay minorities to get brain damage for out entertainment. Imagine if Field of Dreams had an undercurrent of violence and all the characters had CTE.
you watch at a barbeque or party so its background noise in between chips beer or bratwurst
Dont care. Both teams are shit and the pampered mutt is going to win.
Remember the Titans is kino albeit communist propaganda also Dan Campbell is homosexual and I hate him
There is no interesting behind the scenes stuff because it is a bunch of 23 year old uneducated blacks lifting weights and pushing each other around. There are like two positions in the whole game that make you look cool
I feel like I'm in a different world compared to people who watch sportsball. I don't mean to say that I'm better or worse than them, it's just that I don't understand them or their obsession at all.
I know people normally shit on the Jerry bits but this is 100% how I've always felt about sports team fans:

most people are just not very interesting. a lot of dudes i know can't hold a conversation if it's not about sports. they can talk for hours who's a good defender and who's a good assist. but clam up when you talk about something abstract. it's just standard male 'tism and sports are so ubiquitous it makes sense most would hook on to it
>using the word sportsball
You just outed yourself as a redditor
I remember checking out Dallas Buyer's Club thinking it was going to be a football movie. My logic going in was: Matthew McConaughey + Dallas = Football.
Boy, was I mistaken. Good movie though.
Watch a redzone stream next season. All the live games and they just switch to whichever one has the most action at the moment
STARTING DEFENSE. PLACE AT THE TABLE
little giants
as someone who knows very little about either sport it's way easier to understand why something is impressive in baseball
If Die Hard is a Christmas movie, the Dark Knight Rises is a football movie
Friday Night Lights and Varsity Blues are High School classics
I don't mind the stoppages but the ad breaks are fricking awful. And if you watch a stream you actually see the shit Americans are subjected to daily. Sickening to be quite frank.
what you didn't enjoy "Karen and her pet Black person" (2009)
Didn't the white family steal all his money lmaos?
there was a head coach a few years ago that was fined because he revealed after the game that he was told by the refs that league phoned in and asked him to take a timeout late in the game when his team was getting killed because they needed a break to run more commercials
Rudy is rust belt kino, Samwise Gamgee is pretty good in it
Any Given Sunday is a little flashy, maybe a little style over substance, but a good Pacino performance
Draft Day was Costner kino
That's a generational thing. If you go back and look at old NFL highlights, you'd rarely see celebrations for routine plays.
It used to be penalized. Now the memedances are encouraged.
Bill Burr does a bit about this. My theory is that it's a result of the sport getting blacker
We now live in a world where mediocrity is celebrated.
It wouldn't surprise me if the NFL started giving 2nd place trophies to teams that lose at the Superbowl.
The last boy scout is the best one
