Best Fictional Sporting Event to attend
 

Bob Uecker's passing today reminded me of the electric scene from Major League where he previews the final game against the Yankees (below). Anyways, it got me thinking, what fictional (movie/tv show) sporting event would you have wanted to be at if given the choice?

As a kid, I always wanted to be at the final game in Major League.

Tune Squad vs Monstars for sure

Running Man contest seemed great

Rollerball, and the James Caan Rollerball.

KU’s 2020 National Championship Game

Super Bowl LVIX featuring the Buffalo Bills.

I clicked on the link to see how many replies it took for Hammock Parties to say he'd attend the podracing grand prix to see the very talented, young up-and-coming pilot named Anakin Skywalker. Very disappointing I beat him to his own punch.

Personally, give me the dog show from the movie Dog Show. Jason Bateman calling that play-by-play, blue heelers running around eating the competitors from the toy class, bold strategies being deployed which may or may not work out for them Cotton...what could be better?

Quidditch World Cup bro lemme see that Ronski feint

Shut up.

The **** are you talking about

The pennant-winning game at the end of The Natural

The monsoon game in the opening scene of The Last Boy Scout where RB Billy Cole pulls a gun mid play, kneecaps the linebacker, domes the safety, scores the td and spikes the ball.

That's a game changer right there.

The football game where Bane takes over Gotham

You named it. I used to watch Major League all the time on the VHS when I was a teenager. That winning run scene still gives me goosebumps.

Rocky beats Clubber Lang...

Uh, the final Dodgeball game from the movie Dodgeball? How am I the first to say this?

Wet t shirt competition in Belize featuring the 'girlfriend' of Cave.

The last game from The Replacements, mainly so I could drool over the head cheerleader in person. I guess any game from that movie would work, though, as long as I had a good seat behind the Sentinels bench.

I was making fun of KU fans here FYI

I change my answer to Vlad in the Sarlaac pit

Man I was in love with her for a while. She was the primary reason to watch that movie.

The football game in either M*A*S*H or the original The Longest Yard

The final basketball game in One on One

The final baseball game in A League of our Own

The final hockey game in Slapshot

Mine was going to be the final game of the Charleston Chiefs from Slapshot.

The Thunderdome, which was the best thing from the mediocre Mad Max sequel, ‘Beyond Thunderdome’.

Watching Master Blaster wrecking people with huge carnival hammers and chainsaws suspended from bungee cords would be awesome.

Rocky I - IV

And 1984 All-Valley Karate Tournament in
San Fernando Valley, California.

Deer Hunter Russian roulette - I'd know who to bet on

The Patrick Ewing Monstar incinerated my boy Foghorn Leghorn, I demand an ejection.

Hoosiers even though it based on a true story but not the actual team

Deathrace 2000

Quidditch World Cup!

I'd leave right after the game though.

They would have won it all that year. They were the best team

No1curr

Yep. I can count on one hand the number of women I've seen in my life who look better with short hair than long hair, and have some fingers left over, but she's definitely one of them.

Slap Shot when they sing the National Anthem.

The Bad News Bears in the Houston Astrodome.

LET THEM PLAY!
LET THEM PLAY!
LET THEM PLAY!
LET THEM PLAY!

The 1987 Pipeline Classic.

Arizona sensation Rick Kane is going to qualify for the finals before Lance Burkhart pulls his leash, causes Kane to wipeout and snakes him for the final wave. Burkhart advances to the finals.

Kane doesn't even trip even though Chandler wants to kick Burkhart's ass. Kane is a "soul surfer".

Cole Trickle wins the Daytona 500.

Ross Wheeler finishes second.

"Harry, this guy is going down!"

Slapshot right in the corner with the Hanson Brothers dealing out the pain.

Easy the Kumite in bloodsport

Happy Gilmore Masters win

How bout the cannonball run

Quidditch World Cup final

I do not believe that is fictional.

Baseketball championship game

blitzball from final fantasy X

How about the "Build it and They Will Come" baseball games. A good movie. In Iowa even.

Any of the showdowns from Breakin'

How about the 1976 little league championship game between the Bears and Yankees.

Lots of excitement in that one. Salty language, kids getting slapped by coaches, coaches fighting,

and Kelly Leak had a career game.

The Gumball Rally


I think it might be a real thing too, but what a great movie that was.

Gimme that 1951 State Championship of Hickory vs South Bend

Any of the first 4 Rocky fights
1974 The Longest Yard football game
The Karate Kid tourney
The Bourbon Bowl in The Waterboy

I would probably rather see the end to Talladega Nights.

Does Hunger Games count as a sporting event? I feel like it does.

Boom
