Here we have another entry that confuses us. Does Tyler Durden in Fight Club count? We aren’t sure ourselves, as the character himself technically didn’t exist. Still in the world of bare knuckle boxing; this might be a classic….if you think of it that way. The Bullet Points: Movie Appeared: Fight Club (1999) Actor: Brad Pitt Why you should vote for him: This is a cult classic that will live for a long time. Why you should not vote for him: Is this a sports film?

For better or for worse, we have to respect anyone who is a World Heavyweight Champion in the Rocky Universe. Union Kane would challenge a very disoriented Rocky Balboa when he came back from Russia from his fight against Ivan Drago. The fight never materialized due to Balboa’s retirement, but Kane did win a tournament to become the vacant champion; a belt he held until Tommy Gunn destroyed him.              The Bullet Points: Movie Appeared: Rocky V (1990) Actor: Michael Williams Why You Should Vote For Him: There really is not a good one. He was a background figure…

As you may have deduced, we love Woody Harrelson in sports related films, but somehow (and shockingly considering this was directed by Ron Shelton) Play it to the Bone fell flat. Come to think of it, we may have liked Woody better as the failed Quarterback in Wildcats. The Bullet Points: Movie Appeared: Play it to the Bone (1999) Actor: Woody Harrelson Why you should vote for him: Woody is an icon in the world of Fictitious Athletes. Why you should not vote for him: The boxing result somehow did not matter here. How the hell did that happen?

Although we think Tom Cruise does not always get the credit he deserves regarding his acting skills, it may have been because he appeared opposite some serious legends like Dustin Hoffman (Rain Man) and Paul Newman in The Color of Money that he looked like he couldn’t measure up. We always thought that Cruise held his own against Newman, and played the role of the pompous pool player who had a gift with a stick. Admittedly, we enjoyed the scenes with Newman more, but remember Vince embarrassed his mentor with a perfect hustle at the end. Of course, we also…

Before Amanda Bynes went completely nuts, she was the sweetheart of family friendly romantic teen coms. One of her most popular roles was as Viola Hastings, a Soccer player who wanted to test her skills by competing with the boys. She of course posed as a boy to compete, and the standard clichés occurred. Unlike her twitter account, there was a happy ending here, and this was not the worst Shakespearean adaptation ever done. It was far from the best though. The Bullet Points: Movie Appeared: She’s the Man (2006) Actor: Amanda Bynes Position Portrayed: Forward Played for: Illyria Why…

Although the player who was the focus of the NFL draft in the Kevin Costner film, Draft Day, was the University of Wisconsin Quarterback, it was a Linebacker from Ohio State who would go first overall and be the real (or so we are led to believe) prize in the draft. Vontae Mack (Chadwick Boseman) lobbied hard to be a Cleveland Brown (really?) and through footage and persistence he convinces Crash Davis, Ray Kinsella, Billy Chapel, the Bodyguard guy Sonny Weaver Jr. (Kevin Costner) to do just that. Hey, this guy moonlit as Jackie Robinson so let’s agree that they…

Possibly the angriest man on the ballot, Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) had no problem pulling out a gun when needed, referencing everything back to his time in Vietnam and sticking to the rules of bowling. Is this the staple of a Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame? Depending on your love of this cult film, he just might be. The Bullet Points: Movie Appeared: The Big Lebowski (1998) Actor: John Goodman Why you should vote for him: If you saw him, you remembered him. Not everyone on this ballot can say that. Why you should not vote for him: Athletic competition…

The undisputed star player of Carver, Warren Coolidge was the towering Center whose size and skills made him a favorite of Coach Reeves, but his laziness also made him a constant target. Most of our favorite episodes of the White Shadow; especially the ones where his naivety showed through, leading some of the program’s funnier moments.   Coolidge was the only character we got to learn anything concrete about after his Carver High days, as he appeared as an orderly in St. Elsewhere and learned that his pro dreams never did materialize. Wait, if Coolidge was on St. Elsewhere, does that…

Although you were supposed to detest White Goodman, Ben Stiller played it so over the top, that though you still wanted him to lose, you did not want to see him leave the screen, because he was so damned entertaining. Goodman gave his interpretation of what he thought masculinity and male virility should be in a Napoleonic package. We would not be surprised to see Goodman as one of the first Sports Villains in our Hall. The Bullet Points: Movie Appeared: Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004) Actor: Ben Stiller Played for: Globo Gym Why you should vote for him:…

He was always mean looking, and he was named Yul Brenner. Actually, that’s all we got, and that might be good enough for us. Seriously, how can you not love a character named after the King of Siam? The Bullet Points: Movie Appeared: Cool Runnings (1993) Actor: Malik Yoba Played for: Jamaican Bobsled Team Why you should vote for him: Was not the character name enough? Why you should not vote for him: Yeah we know. A cool name is not enough for this to be a serious candidate.

How often do you see a cross eyed, uni-browed, roided up, monosyllabic, African American villain in a movie? Let’s hope only this one time. The Bullet Points: Movie Appeared: No Holds Barred (1989) Actor: Tom “Tiny” Lister Why you should vote for him: Perhaps, as a residual effect from his role as Deebo in the Friday movies? Why you should not vote for him:. This movie stunk.
