Coach Ben Fredricks

Coach Ben Fredricks
From the brilliant “one and done” series, Freaks and Geeks, we have stereotypical gym teacher, Coach Fredricks, who we see a little more of when he starts to date the mom of one of the geeks; his worst athletic student. Just being on this show is enough to secure a nomination, but lets add to it that this guy was also Biff Tannen!




The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Freaks and Geeks (1999-2000)

Actor:
Thomas F. Wilson

Role Portrayed:
High School Gym Teacher

Why You Should Vote For Him:
If you don’t, you better make like a tree and get out of here.

Why You Should Not Vote For Him:
It’s a gym teacher. Does it matter that this Biff Tannen?

Cameron Tucker

Cameron Tucker
We never really thought about it but is Cameron Tucker’s ascension to High School Football Coach a pivotal movement for gay acceptance in sports? Ok, maybe we are going a little far here, but whatever the sexual orientation of Cameron, he is a great character in a great show, and he was a winning coach to boot!


        

The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Modern Family (2009-)

Actor:
Eric Stonestreet

Role Portrayed:
High School Football Coach

Why You Should Vote For Him:
Well, this is groundbreaking when you think about it.

Why You Should Not Vote For Him:
Football in all honesty is barely relevant to the show, despite his occupation.

Vontae Mack

Vontae Mack
Although the player who was the focus of the NFL draft in the Kevin Costner film, Draft Day, was the University of Wisconsin Quarterback, it was a Linebacker from Ohio State who would go first overall and be the real (or so we are led to believe) prize in the draft.


Vontae Mack (Chadwick Boseman) lobbied hard to be a Cleveland Brown (really?) and through footage and persistence he convinces Crash Davis, Ray Kinsella, Billy Chapel, the Bodyguard guy Sonny Weaver Jr. (Kevin Costner) to do just that. Hey, this guy moonlit as Jackie Robinson so let’s agree that they saw a real athlete here!  

            

The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Draft Day (2013)

Actor:
Chadwick Boseman

Position Played:
Linebacker

Played for:
Ohio State

Why You Should Vote For Him:
This was the guy who went number one in the draft!

Why You Should Not Vote For Him:
How the hell do we know what he did in the pros?

Union Cane

Union Cane
For better or for worse, we have to respect anyone who is a World Heavyweight Champion in the Rocky Universe. Union Kane would challenge a very disoriented Rocky Balboa when he came back from Russia from his fight against Ivan Drago. The fight never materialized due to Balboa’s retirement, but Kane did win a tournament to become the vacant champion; a belt he held until Tommy Gunn destroyed him.


            

The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Rocky V (1990)

Actor:
Michael Williams

Why You Should Vote For Him:
There really is not a good one. He was a background figure despite being a world champion.

Why You Should Not Vote For Him:
When we did see him fight, he got his ass handed to him Tommy Gunn.
