Mos unrealstic football in a movie...ever?


Wow, I not only was the humor and writing awful, but the unrealstic and laughable way football was portrayed was extremely laughable and quite sad. You could clearly tell the writer had never played the sport. As a high school and college football player, here are some things I noticed.

-One football coach. Why the *beep* does EVERY football movie have only ONE coach? Every where I went, whether it was junior high, high school, college, or even club football, ALWAYS had at least 2 or 3 coaches. High school had 11, and college had about 20. With junior high, the age group the kid is in this movie, we had at least 8. But no, of course there is only one coach. Does that one single coach do every single position?

-Lack of equipment. The main kid and his friends dont wear cleats. If anyone didnt wear cleats at University of Tulsa or even high school, we'd get our asses laid out during air raids. And besides, wearing regular sneakers in football feels like iceskating. It is almost unplayable. Also, no mouth peices or chin straps?

-When the main queer and his pale-white friend show up for practice, the coach just says "meh, get a helmet" and theyre all set. Yah, no physicals to see if they have illnesses. No personal background checks. No suit fits (you cant just put on any helmet, it has to fit your head perfectly).

-Flags. The climax game has a scene played for laughs in which a smaller kid attempts to tackle a bigger kid with the ball, and he fails and ends up being dragged by him by holding onto his jersey. The entire time I kept muttering "Holding, on the play!" Or what about when the kick goes out of bounds and hits the coach? "Illegal procedure!" Or whatabout when that huge kid does the 'Im gonna kill you' jesture? Thats a huge "unsportsmanlike conduct" flag and he'd get his fatass kicked out of the game.

-A state final game for junior high? What in the holy *beep* is that? There has never, EVER from what I know of, EVER been a state championship game for junior high, in fact, there are no play offs for junior high no matter how great you are. In 7th grade, my junior high won every game, 10-0, and the following we year we were 9-1, and we never went to play offs and we never played any more games. The only team that does play-offs is the high school varsity team.

Technically, Bud The Dog couldnt play football regardless. He is wearing a leathercap helmet and isnt wearing an leg-pads. Thats against dress code. Even then, the dog would still have to pass a physical and concussion test. That dog would be a benchwarmer...jeez I need some pills.

I have El Sonoma del Torra de Fiero Syndrome. Be happy you don't. Trust me.

I hope you found the pills you were looking for.

Anyways, the movie isn't so bad. It's all entertainment.

I was with you until you said main queer. How do you know he's gay? Did he make a pass at you?

You are obviously full of crap and have never played football. "Holding on the play" for an attempted tackle? Moron.
