Sports in Film

Rudy, The Waterboy, and Air Bud. All very well known sports movie. But there is more to the list than just those. Every year you can find a new sports movie hitting the theaters, but why? Sports movies are some of the best movies I have ever seen. You can never go wrong to put on a sports movie, and you always have a ton of options. Sports are a huge part of American culture, rather it be Football, Basketball, or Baseball  whatever you are feeling you can watch a movie involving any sport.
Not only do sports movies entertain they also Inspire. Many sports movie encourage young athletes to pursue their dream no matter what.

Rivalries

Duke vs. UNC, Auburn s. Bama, New York vs. Boston, Ohio State vs. Michigan, Celtics vs. Lakers http://msn.foxsports.com/collegebasketball/lists/Greatest-rivalries-in-sports#photo-title=Bring+it+on%2521&photo=29730307Rivalries are what make games huge! Almost every team has a rivalry that brings fans into the seats. Some are bigger than others. But there will always be a fight about who has the biggest rivalry of all time. Honestly its hard to say who the biggest rivalry is. I guess it all depends on who you like. Personally I consider New York and Boston to be one of the biggest rivalries. But in ESPN's list of biggest rivalries they are ranked number 7 while Ohio State and Michigan are number one. I agree with this but I defiantly think New York and Boston are bigger. But this is all personal opinion I guess. But my question for you is who do you think the biggest Rivalry of all time is?

My kind of money

Recently Robinson Cano has asked the New York Yankees for a nine year $260 million dollar contract. I don't know about everyone else but that's a ton of money. On average that's about 28.9 million per year! What can you do with all that money? But that brings me to my point what do athletes do with all that money? Some may donate it to various charities but they don't donate a million dollars so what do they do?Why does anyone in general need that much money? I realize i keep asking a lot of questions but these are all concerns I have with how much athletes are paid.

Space Jam 2?

While surfing the web recently I came across a great discovery! Now you may ask what I found. Well the best thing since sliced bread. Space Jam 2. In this new addition Lebron James would be the one saving the world with his buddies Bugs and Daffy. Well what makes this movie so great? Everything! The original Space Jam is a classic so why wouldn't the second one be just as great. Lebron James is a great athlete and I'm sure he would undoubtedly  help the Toonsquad defeat the aliens. If this movie is actually released I will be the first to buy it!

Duck Dynasty

As I sit here and watch Duck Dynasty with my roommate Emily I think to myself is hunting a sport? Yes? No? Well to be honest i don't think so. What really goes into hunting? Sitting in a tree stand waiting on a deer doesn't seem too difficult to me. But yet people still think that it is major challenge. All you need is patience something we learned in Kindergarten.  Don't get me wrong deer meat is delicious but its not a sport at all, the only difficult part would be climbing into the tree stand. But those are just my thoughts.

Duke Football??

When I mention Duke University what do you think of? I'm sure you probably think of Basketball and how great they are. Well I'm sure you all didn't know how well their football team is doing this year.This year they are currently 8-2, something I learned when my cousins from North Carolina came and visited. But is there a concern here? Yes. When a University has one great sport team often times their other sports go unnoticed. Sadly this can hurt these athletes feelings, if you went to an athletic school and you went unnoticed how would you feel? Hurt? Heart broken? Angry? So many feelings come to mind. So I'm telling you don't concentrate on one sport remember them all!
