7 sports movies...

by **Danny Hogan** on Mon Dec 05, 2005 4:35 pm

Name 7 sports movies...

1 from each of the 4 major sports (football, hockey, baseball, basketball)

and three wild cards (other athletic competition)

that were not based on a true story

where the team did not win (championship/big game/focus of the movie).

"Any Given Sunday" is not the answer we're looking for in football.
