Did you know that all you have to do is put on a wig, and automatically you can pass for a girl? That was all that Jonathan Brandis had to do in “Ladybugs” to become one of our transvestite nominees for the Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame. This wasn’t exactly the high point of anyone’s career who was in this movie, and if it was; well…doesn’t that say everything about that person’s body of work?
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Ladybugs (1992)
Actor:
Jonathan Brandis
Position Portrayed:
Striker
Played for:
The Ladybugs
Why you should vote for him:
We suppose that this is the best teen transvestite fictitious athlete of all time.
Why you should not vote for him:
This was a very weak role.

We wonder if Matt Saracen was the favorite character for a lot the viewers of Friday Night Lights. Saracen (Zach Gilford) was the reluctant hero of the field, the socially awkward backup Quarterback, thrust into a starting role due to an injury to the star. Borrowing from another movie, Saracen did not pull off a “Jon Moxon” and was benched in his Senior year. Still, the role was given a lot of arcs, which is better than 99 percent of characters from television.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Friday Night Lights (2006-11)
Actor:
Zach Gilford
Position Portrayed:
Quarterback
Played for:
Dillon Panthers
Why you should vote for him:
Is there not something noble about the reluctant hero?
Why you should not vote for him:
At the end of the day, this is still the backup, who did not exactly “Jon Moxon” it on the gridiron.

We don’t get it. He lost the girl to Burt Reynolds and really didn’t care? What kind of new age Football movie is this, and is this why he turned into a recluse in Blade?
Mason "The Line" Dixon

Honestly, the opponent in the final installment of the Rocky film series (the aptly titled, Rocky Balboa) was not critical. The movie was more about resurrecting the character from the damage the last film did. Fortunately for Sylvester Stallone and fans of the series, Rocky Balboa did just exactly that.
Rocky’s comeback fight was against Mason “The Line” Dixon, played by a legitimate boxing champion, Antonio Tarver. Unlike Tommy Morrison in Rocky V, Tarver was not asked to do more than brood and mumble; and look like a legitimate bad ass. That was perfect, as again, this movie was about redeeming the Rocky Balboa character (and not really the fighter) in our eyes. Sure, Dixon was not a landmark character, but it accomplished exactly what we needed.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Rocky Balboa (2006)
Actor:
Antonio Tarver
Why you should vote for him:
It is a Rocky series boxer; enough said.
Why you should not vote for him:
It wasn’t a very deep role.
