Leo Farnsworth/Joe Blanchard/Tom Jarrett

This one may be a little tricky. Heaven Can Wait was a well-respected film, and Football was a big part of it. There were cameos by legit NFL stars (like Deacon Jones) and the end goal was to win the Super Bowl, but film was more known for the dramatic vehicle for Warren Beatty. Beatty did not look like a Quarterback, especially a very young one, which he was supposed to portray, but as this was more of a fantasy type of picture, it seems to be easy to overlook. The problem here is that the movie does not seem to have much a life now, and is not often thought of in the pantheon of Football films.
Also is it just us, or does the sacrifice of Tom Jarrett put a damper on things? Seriously, where did he wind up? Either way, this is one where we will be fascinated to see how many votes are accrued.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Heaven Can Wait (1978)
Actor:
Warren Beatty
Position Portrayed:
Quarterback
Played for:
Los Angeles Rams
Why you should vote for him:
It was a Super Bowl win by Beatty. That is the point of Football after all.
Why you should not vote for him:
For some reason, the legacy of this film is not there.

Didn’t Lance Harbor look like a plethora of Quarterbacks who were stars in college, or maybe the pros? So did Jesse Palmer, but he was the drizzling shits and kept getting chances because he looked the part. Actually, had it not been for what was a career ending injury for Harbor, we wager he would have had the same career:
A star at Florida (though missing out on a Sugar Bowl win)
A third round pick, backing up…..let’s say for the Jets.
Start a couple of times and stink.
Become a broadcaster by 27.
Actually, that might have been better than becoming a High School Football Coach and replacing Bud Kilmer. We wonder if there is a statue of Harbor outside the stadium in West Canaan?
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Varsity Blues (1999)
Actor:
Paul Walker
Position Portrayed:
Quarterback
Played for:
West Canaan HS
Why you should vote for him:
He looks the part more than most on the ballot.
Why you should not vote for him:
He was not on the field for the big game at the end of the movie.

This isn’t the best role that L.L. Cool J ever had; at least not the one where he was given a chance to shine. Julian Washington was a whiner who complained about lack of plays and the scene that we remember most is when a kid told him how his dad said he didn’t play hard anymore because he already got paid. Actually, he may have nailed the part of a modern athlete.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Any Given Sunday (1999)
Actor:
L.L. Cool J
Position Portrayed:
Running Back
Played for:
Miami Sharks
Why you should vote for him:
How about for that suit he wore at that party where the mayor was at? That alone showed why the ladies loved “Cool J”
Why you should not vote for him:
He was mostly whining in the film.

The 2021 Fictitious Athlete Inductees
Jake Taylor may not have been the one given the best lines in Major League, but he was the heart and soul of the team and the movie (and writing that did not feel like a cliché). It was Taylor who melded the team together off the field and on the field on his gimpy knees ran out the surprise bunt (after the brilliant called shot to field) and suggested the play that Willie “Mays” Hayes score from second. Taylor also got to bed an in her prime Rene Russo which was likely of a higher quality than he was finding in the Mexican League. Overall, we wish he never signed on for Major League 2, as the conversion to Interim Manager was unlikely and the decision to keep him in the franchise seemed contrived. Granted, at Tom Berenger’s advanced age, it made sense, but surely there had to be a better use for him…or maybe don’t use him at all.
