2023 Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame - Round 1

Billy Clyde Puckett

Billy Clyde Puckett
  • TV Show/Movie Appeared: Semi-Tough (1977)
  • Actor/Actress: Burt Reynolds
  • Position Portrayed: Running Back
  • Played For:: Miami Bucks
  • Why you should vote:: Burt Reynolds is practically a god for this Hall of Fame.
  • Why you should not vote:: Like we said, for a football film, there was not a lot of football in it.
  • On the one hand, we loved 1970’s Burt Reynolds and his slimy, yet undisputable charm. We also love the name “Billy Clyde Puckett” as one of the all-time greatest sports character names. On the other hand, the common criticism for Semi-Tough is that for a movie that looks like it is about Football; it really isn’t. Rather it is a love triangle set on the backdrop of a gridiron with a spoof on New Age thinking (which doesn’t exactly age well). We’ll say this, Reynolds got the girl in the end, so….victory for the Bandit?
