This isn’t exactly a sports movie, though it the primary characters are football players. Maybe that is why we liked the character of Barbara Jane Bookman in Semi Tough, as usually girlfriends in sports flicks are depicted as one dimensional bimbos (though they often are in real life). This was a woman we could actually believe was being fought over (albeit in a very passive way) by two gridiron stars. But again, we raise our initial point; just how much of a sports film was this?
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Semi-Tough (1978)
Actor:
Jill Clayburgh
Role Portrayed:
Roommate/Girlfriend/Fiancée
Why you should vote for her:
It was a very good role.
Why you should not vote for him:
This was barely a sports film.

Intended to be one of the most unlikable coaches in sports film history, the corporate minded, business first, B.A. Strother accomplishes this task. He was wooden, stoic and made it clear that his player’s health was not top of mind…even under his Landryesque hat.

This HBO show was constantly railed by critics, but it lasted a long time as it filled a void in sports related dramatic programming. We would agree with the critics in that the show was not great, the acting was lame, and the premises often ridiculous but this show gave us countless athletic cameos which for a lot of us were often worth the view. Because of this, was Arliss Michaels really that bad?
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Arliss (1996-2002)
Actor:
Robert Wuhl
Role Portrayed:
Sports Agent
Why you should vote for him:
How about just for the cameos the show gave us? Arliss seemed to represent everybody.
Why you should not vote for him:
He was so damned unlikable.

The only woman who ever got the heart of Kenny Powers always gives us two big reasons to consider voting for her.
