Buck Weston

Buck Weston
Although we thought “Kicking and Screaming” was average at best, we have to admit that there were moments where we enjoyed Robert Duvall as Buck Weston, the hypercompetitive father of Phil Weston (Will Farrell) and verbal sparring partner of Mike Ditka. We aren’t sure that is enough to make the original Major Frank Burns a serious contender for the Hall though.  




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Kicking and Screaming (2005)

Actor:
Robert Duvall

Role Portrayed:
Coach of the Gladiators

Why you should vote for him:
Same as what we said about Farrell, It was not Duvall’s fault that the movie was average.

Why you should not vote for him:
It was good, but not memorable. Even the jarring with Ditka got a little old.

Can anyone really explain why this mysterious African American ghost gave a crap about the restoring the golfing confidence of some white guy in the early 1930’s?  

Bobby Finstock

Bobby FinstockWe almost completely forgot of the sage like advice of Coach Bobby Finstock. Actually, it is the advice you have to cling to if you want to vote for him, as for a Basketball Coach, he did not seem to offer anything to motivate his players, had no problem with forfeiting a game, and was probably more content to pick his nose than execute a pick and roll. He did however off this nugget of advice that everyone should live by:

“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.”

Now this is the type of advice that transcends the game of Basketball don’t you think?

         

The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Teen Wolf (1985)

Actor:
Jay Tarses

Role Portrayed:
Coach of the Deacon Beavers H.S. Basketball Team

Why you should vote for him:
Just for his outlook on life alone.

Why you should not vote for him:
How good could his overall won/loss record possibly be? Especially, when the “Wolf” isn’t playing?

Birdie

Birdie
The film may have been average, but in his supporting role Tupac Shakur did what he always did; steal the show. As the neighborhood gangster, “Birdie”, Tupac creates the moral dilemma for the film’s protagonist, but does his limited role offer enough for the Hall? Considering that when one often looks at the brief but powerful legacy of Tupac Shakur, “Above the Rim” is not usually among the top ten things thought of, we don’t think it looks good.




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Above the Rim (1994)

Actor:
Tupac Shakur

Role Portrayed:
Gangster

Why you should vote for him:
For many, Tupac is a legend.

Why you should not vote for him:
Legend or not, the movie was not strong enough to have a serious inductee.
