Danny Noonan

Looking back, Caddyshack could have probably cast many goofing looking no-names in the role of Danny Noonan, so the question is did Michael O’Keefe do enough in this role, or was this really a movie that was run by the comedic talents in the flick? What works in Noonan’s favor is that he won the golf game at the end, but realistically when people quote this film; do they mention anything O’Keefe did? Chances are they didn’t, but considering the iconic stature of this movie, shouldn’t he have a shot?

We could hear Germans watching this movie and groaning. Not because of the depiction of them as the bad guys, but by the fact that an American Goalie was could be a force in a game against them.
Sure, the United States have embraced soccer to the point where they are fringe World Cup contenders, but in 1981 the Americans had zero interest in the sport, beyond the first wave of badly coiffed soccer moms, so when you mix World War II (which Americans knew) with soccer (which Americans didn’t), you had a movie with sparse interest in North America; with the exception of fans of Sylvester Stallone, who was the aforementioned goalie.
Stallone may look like an athlete, but was awkward looking as a goalie (which at least the movie tried to explain). This isn’t “Sly’s” best performance in an athletic role, but it is not his worst, and this is a movie worth checking out on a cable rerun. This however is not the athlete we remember most from the movie as a certain Brazilian had our attention instead.

Just where does the bungling sidekick, turned adversary, turned sidekick again does fit into the Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame anyway? Or does he at all? Actually we are trying to figure out if we can nominate Chest Rockwell instead, as he may have been our favorite sidekick of all.
Billy Clyde Puckett

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?
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Semi-Tough (1977)
Actor:
Burt Reynolds
Position Portrayed:
Running Back
Played for:
Miami Bucks
Why you should vote for him:
Burt Reynolds is practically a god for this Hall of Fame.
Why you should not vote for him:
Like we said, for a football film, there was not a lot of football in it.
