As much as Cameron Diaz was super-hot, her role as the annoying and clueless owner of the Miami Sharks, Christine Pagniacci just seemed to rub us the wrong way. Perhaps it was her condescending berating of the Coach D’Amato on the how the game should be played with the use of clichés and nonsense that bothered us; but wasn’t that the point? If she was a semi-likable owner, we would find a reason to cheer for her, but this was a Jerry Jones in a skirt, and symbolic of what was wrong with some of the owners in the big sports. Wait, did we just talk ourselves into voting her?
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Any Given Sunday (1999)
Actor:
Cameron Diaz
Role Portrayed:
Owner of the Miami Sharks
Why you should vote for her:
Well, she looked good at least.
Why you should not vote for her:
This was one of the most annoying roles in a sports flick.

We love Rodney Dangerfield, but is the best use of his talents putting him in a situation where he his co-stars are pre-teen girls? Based on Ladybugs, where he was a soccer coach for those aforementioned females, we know the answer.

Another film we almost forgot, “Real Steel” is the story of a former boxer who programs a robot boxer (in the future, apparently robots replace humans in boxing) with his skills and knowledge. The movie is absurd in many ways, but when you have Hugh Jackman in it, and excellent production, it is easier than you think to lose yourself in the plot.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Real Steel (2011)
Actor:
Hugh Jackman
Role Portrayed:
Trainer/Programmer of Robot Boxers
Why you should vote for him:
Residue from Wolverine.
Why you should not vote for him:
The featured athlete is….a robot.

Normally we don’t want to see middle aged strippers, but we are making an exception for Cassidy (Marisa Tomei), whose life mimicked that of her biggest fan, Randy “The Ram” Robinson, in its own way. Tomei erroneously won the Academy Award for the Best Supporting Actress for “My Cousin Vinny”, but had she won for her role as the depressed stripper (and she was nominated) would there have been an uproar? We don’t think so.
The Bullet Points:
Movies Appeared:
The Wrestler (2008)
Actor:
Marisa Tomei
Role Portrayed:
Stripper
Why you should vote for her:
Her acting was great, and she was the perfect mirror to the “Ram”
Why you should not vote for her:
She was not exactly an athletic character, and did not move the athletic plot along.
