He wasn’t on Eastbound and Down for long, but we loved Jason Sudeikis as Shane Gerald, the friend and partner in debaucheries with Kenny “Fucking” Powers. We are wondering though, if maybe we should nominate the Catcher’s cocaine instead.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Eastbound and Down (2012)
Actor:
Jason Sudeikis
Position Portrayed:
Catcher
Played for:
Myrtle Beach Mermen
Why you should vote for him:
He was a great partner for Powers.
Why you should not vote for him:
Conceivably, this is not even among the top three characters of the show.

The idea of Kevin James working his way up to beat a UFC Heavyweight contender may be laughable, but the first big budget Mixed Martial Arts film had the blessing and support from UFC (making it at least look good) and was reasonably well done visually. We are very curious to see how this film ages and whether their inspirational message will have legs. If so, Scott Voss in the Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame is a possibility.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Here Comes the Boom (2012)
Actor:
Kevin James
Why you should vote for him:
He raised the money, got the girl and won the fight. That is a sports movie trifecta.
Why you should not vote for him:
Although the King of Queens is not unathletic, he is not beating anyone in the UFC.

At no point have we ever understood the appeal of Ryan O’Neal, and after re-watching “The Games” when he was young and about to become a star, we are even more confused. Frankly we wonder if Americans watching this movie were cheering against their country in this one. We know that we did.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
The Games (1970)
Actor:
Ryan O’Neal
Ran for:
The United States
Why you should vote for him:
Hmmmmm. All we got is “U.S.A.! U.S.A.!”
Why you should not vote for him:
Like we said, the American hero was….not much of one.

We are a bit torn with this one. First off, we loved the participation from FIFA, which lent the trilogy of Goal! Series a brilliant look with its cameos and overall cinematography. Still, to believe a kid out of the Los Angeles barrios could come out of nowhere to become an international soccer superstar is a little far-fetched. Still, we loved the look of the films and if we say that, we have to nominate its star.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Goal! (2005)
Goal II: Living the Dream (2007)
Goal III: Taking on the World (2009)
Actor:
Kuno Becker
Position Portrayed:
Striker
Played for:
Newcastle/Real Madrid
Why you should vote for him:
This was a decent trilogy. Should we not honor its star?
Why you should not vote for him:
This may have been an International success, but was not so in North America. That should matter.
