Watching Rob Lowe as a rower in Oxford Blues was…..well painful. Still, in the mid 80’s, Lowe was a teen heartthrob and garnered a lot of attention for roles like this. Actually, doesn’t this happen every decade?




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Oxford Blues (1984)

Actor:
Rob Lowe

Why you should vote for him:
It may not have been a hit in the box office, but it did have legs.

Why you should not vote for him:
Rob Lowe frankly stunk here and was not believable as a rower. Nor did we care if he got the girl.

Neon Boudeaux

Neon Boudeaux
It is not that Shaquille O’Neal stunk as Neon Boudeaux in “Blue Chips”. The role called for a mumbling beast of a man who could make opponents look like small children, and Shaq could do that easily. Basically, it wasn’t a stretch for him and though he received second billing on the movie poster, he really did not have that many lines.   Blue Chips was a modest success, and though it was not critically praised, little negative attention was heaped on the seven footer.


Perhaps because of this, we got Kazaam and Shaq-Fu; which were two of the worst abortions in film and video games respectively. Had we known that would have happened, perhaps the critics would have roasted the Neon character, just to prevent him from giving Hollywood another shot.



The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Blue Chips (1994)

Actor:
Shaquille O’Neal

Position Portrayed:
Centre

Played for:
Western University Dolphins

Why you should vote for him:
This was a near perfect role for Shaq.

Why you should not vote for him:
This launched Kazaam.

Ned Braden

Ned Braden
In some ways, Ned Braden was the least interesting character of the Charlestown Chiefs, but without his straight man persona, the film would have run the risk of getting into a territory whereby it would have been more Slap Stick than Slap Shot. Braden was not just the intellectual counter to the rest of the team, but the physical one as he refused to “goon” it up with the rest of team. As we stated, it wasn’t a fun role, but it was a necessary one.




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Slap Shot (1977)

Actor:
Michael Ontkean

Position Portrayed:
Centre

Played for:
Charlestown Chiefs

Why you should vote for him:
This is actually a legit choice for consideration from this film.

Why you should not vote for him:
To this day, the scene of Braden stripping on the ice is still baffling.

We will just lay it out there. We have had a crush on Eliza Dushku forever, and seeing her in a cheerleaders outfit only helps.




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Bring it on (2000)

Actor:
Eliza Dushku

Played for:
The Toros

Why you should vote for her:
We probably did not make a strong case for her did we?

Why you should not vote for her:
Cheerleading is not exactly a sport.
