Mt Rushmore: Top Sports Stories From The Past Year That Could Be Movies

[Chief Rum]

All right, this is a little off the path. We always seem to have a lot of sports stories eventually being made into movies. What are your four best sports stories in the past year (let's say back to January 2005) that could be made into movies?

For me:

1. That kid who has autism coming in and making six three-pointers in a HS basketball game
2. George Mason to the Final Four
3. Barry Bonds/baseball steroids story
4. LSU football season following Katrina

1. Ben Roethlisberger takes his motorcycle for a spin.
2. Ricky Williams visits Canada.
3. Daunte Culpeper goes for a boat ride.
4. Peyton Manning throws his offensive line under the bus.

lol..all four of those could be NC-17 for, in order, graphic depictions, drug use, sexual escapades & adult language. :)

Magic Johnson is co-producing the movie on J-Mac, the kid with autism who did all that stuff. ESPN is probably invested in it somehow, but...I figure that with all the sports whoring out there and the lack of attention that is focused on autism,that if he's the poster child for getting people to learn more, than I'm all for it.

Plus, its really cool and he seems still quite reticient about all the attention, yet...you have to be happy for the kid to be able to shine like that.
