The Veterans
Long before the Waterboy, we had Amos Dodd, a simple man from Texas who could throw a watermelon farther than anyone else had ever seen? Does that translate into College Football? Why of course it does, and through a strange turn of events (boy do we say that a lot), he is recruited to play for small Texas State against the powerhouse of Yale, which in 1935 was actually true. Stuart Erwin, who played Amos Dodd, was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Pigskin Parade (1935)
Actor:
Stuart Erwin
Role Portrayed:
Texas State University Quarterback
Why You Should Vote For Him:
If you go by what you saw on the field, this was the guy that led the team to a huge win over Yale (when beating Yale mattered).
Why You Should Not Vote For Him:
The Coach’s daughter calling the winning play? Come one, man!

None of us here at Notinhalloffame understood the Glee phenomenon, nor do any of us subscribe that cheerleading is a sport. Saying all of that we do recognize that many people liked that show, and that some feel that cheerleading is a sport. If that is true, than why not a cheerleading coach, and one who was arguably one of the stars of the show? With that we present Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) as a nominee for the Fictitious Athlete Hall, and whether you think she belongs or not, you have to admit that Lynch is one funny actress.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Glee (2009-)
Actor:
Jane Lynch
Role Portrayed:
Cheerleading Coach
Why You Should Vote For Her:
Many have argued that this was the best character on the show.
Why You Should Not Vote For Her:
It’s a cheerleading coach! That is all that we need to say.

Back in the Game was not a very good television show, nor was it even a very good Bad News Bears rip off. There was a band of misfit kids who played Baseball, but unlike the Bears, the Angles (yes, not Angels) we barely saw them play. The only highlight for us was James Caan as a drunken former Baseball player named Terry “The Cannon” Gannon, who is one old man we don’t want to mess with. We love Caan, and find that he usually steals the show, but it wasn’t that hard for him to accomplish that feat here.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Back in the Game (2013)
Actor:
James Caan
Role Portrayed:
Former Baseball Player/Assistant Little League Coach
Why You Should Vote For Him:
Caan is an icon. That’s all we got.
Why You Should Not Vote For Him:
This show lasted only 10 episodes.

First off let’s all agree that the transition from athlete to administrator in the Kevin Costner fictitious sports world was one that seems natural, and we all buy. Do you believe Costner as Sonny Weaver Jr., the GM of the Cleveland Browns? Of course you do! It is Costner!
Here is the problem. The draft day trades make absolutely no sense, and there is literally no way that these moves would occur. Two points on the above: Yes that is the correct use of the word literally and we do remember the New Orleans Saints trading their entire draft class to move up one spot to get Ricky Williams. That would never happen again!
On the other hand, is the genius of Costner just that strong that maybe he could have pulled that off?
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Draft Day (2013)
Actor:
Kevin Costner
Role Portrayed:
General Manager of the Cleveland Browns
Why You Should Vote For Him:
Costner is a legend on this website.
Why You Should Not Vote For Him:
There is absolutely no logic to the moves in this film.
