Opinion The 25 Funniest Sports Movies of All-Time
From nearly 70,000 reader votes on more than 50 sports comedies …
#25 – The Longest Yard (original)
The 1974 original is the oldest movie on the list, proving the enduring entertainment value in seeing those in authority getting the crap kicked out of them.
#24 – Varsity Blues
It’s the story of a small-town Texas high school that places huge importance on football. Sounds more like a documentary. Oh, wait. James Van Der Beek is a star quarterback? There are your laughs.
#23 – Major League II
The sequel to “Major League” couldn’t quite live up to the original. Blame Omar Epps’ Willie Mays Hayes.
#22 – A League of Their Own
Geena Davis was the star, Rosie O’Donnell provided comic relief and Madonna was a sex symbol. Wow, 1992 was a really long time ago.
#21 – D2: The Mighty Ducks
Emilio Estevez doesn’t have much of a movie career nowadays, but at least he can claim that his sports movie sequel holds up better than his brother Charlie Sheen’s does. Also, he probably doesn’t have a potpourri of porn star-provided venereal diseases. Good job, Emilio.

News Washed-Up Kobe Bryant Not Even Averaging 40 Points Per Game
“I’ve pretty much seen Kobe from afar my whole career,” said new Lakers coach Mike Brown. “And he’s just a shell of what he used to be, in my opinion. I mean, remember a few years ago when he had 81 points in a game? He only had 48 the other night. Forty-eight! It was sad to watch. Like seeing Willie Mays drop fly balls in the outfield for the Mets.”
Former Lakers teammate Lamar Odom was dealt to the Mavericks before the start of the season and says it was a blessing.
“Kobe is my friend. We’ve battled together for championships,” said Odom. “But I don’t have the courage to be by him every day, watching him waste away. I just don’t. It would be too hard to stomach.”
Bryant leads the NBA in scoring at 30.3 points per game, but it’s only the third-highest scoring average in his career.
“Numbers can be misleading,” said Shaquille O’Neal, Bryant’s longtime Lakers teammate. “His performances now are like when a dead body seizes a few times before the final light goes out. Kobe is probably the worst best player in the NBA ever.”
