It is very strange for us to see the lead character of a sports themed show to be a female who is not an athletic performer, but “The Game” is not your typical sports show. The show is more about what happens off the field than off, and as such the lead of the show is Tasha Mack, the mother and former agent of the Quarterback of the San Diego Sabres. Most of the plot points revolve around her, and we were even “treated” to a romance between her and Rick Fox, but as much as this is her show, there are many who watch the show who only tolerates her. Can such a polarizing figure on a cable show make it to the Hall? The Bullet Points: TV Show Appeared: The Game (2006-) Actor: Wendy Raquel Robinson Role Portrayed: Sports Agent Why you should vote for her: She is the lead of a show that is huge on BET. Why you should not vote for her: She is a polarizing figure, and many fans of the show watch it in spite of her. {youtube}

For many, this Taco MacArthur is the breakout character of “The League”, and how can this perpetually stoned and unemployed man not be? He is marginally a Football fan (as shown by his attempt to draft a player from the Canadian Football League), yet has won the League at least once. He may be a bit of an emotional basketcase, but damned it is entertaining when he shows up. Besides, we are invoking the Mookie Wilson rule here, where you can’t help but like a guy with a goofy first name. The Bullet Points: TV Show Appeared: The League (2009-) Actor: Jon Lajoie Role Portrayed: Fantasy Football Team Owner Why you should vote for him: His name is “Taco”. Again, the Mookie Wilson rule is in effect. Why you should not vote for him: The same for all “League” characters; this is a hit on a relatively small channel, and has not been seen by many. {youtube}

It is near impossible not to pity Steve Little. It is easy to look down on poor Stevie, who always seems to put his devotion to Kenny Powers; generally always without reciprocation of any kind. He looks like a sad puppy, which was kind of fitting considering his relationship with Powers. Still, that kind of devotion is admirable on sub sad level, and the Eastbound and Down would not be the same without him. Now is a clueless flunkee Hall of Fame worthy? The Bullet Points: TV Show Appeared: Eastbound and Down (2009-) Actor: Steve Janowski Role Portrayed: Flunkee/Sidekick Why you should vote for him: Many laughs on this show was due to Stevie. Why you should not vote for him: Can you seriously vote for someone as stupid as this guy? {youtube}

It wasn’t that we thought that Dwayne Johnson did not do a bad job in the Gridiron Gang, nor did we think the movie was bad. Sure, it was predictable (as most movies are), but shouldn’t Johnson have been playing roles other than coaches at that stage of his career? It just felt like he was entering the Samuel L. Jackson zone (and, wouldn’t he have worked better) where it felt like he was in every movie, and frankly we would have rather have seen “The Rock” in a more action oriented role. The Bullet Points: TV Show Appeared: The Gridiron Gang (2006) Actor: Dwayne Johnson Role Portrayed: Head Coach for the Mustangs Why you should vote for him: We may have been critical, but he was perfectly fine in the role. Why you should not vote for him: This movie has no staying power. {youtube}
