Football

What do you do around eleven on a Tuesday evening? Sleep HA no. I write blog posts. Crappy blog posts but posts all the same. I just finished watching Friday Night lights. Which is one of those crappy motivational sports movies. Except this one is no where near as good as Remember the Titans. It isn't motivational. Or thats what I was thinking as I watched them lose their big game. Then I realized its not about the winning, its about what they learned from the experience. Which is a great lesson. Sometimes you get so sucked into "winning" that you forget why you were playing in the first place. I think that winning is great but its not the most important thing in the world.

Wow Profound I know. Other then that bit of wisdom, the movie sucked. Like I said it was no where near Remember the Titans which is how I gauge sports movies. On one hand it relied on the football player stereotype (you know big stupid, hunky and complete a-holes) and on the other hand they cried like ever four seconds. Which is fine but I mean seriously there was no character development. And the fact that they didn't win their big game was really depressing. Being the sap that I am I hated that. I hate depressing movies.

You know how at the end, they scroll what each player achieved in their lives? Normally they move on to big and better things. Not these guys, they moved on to be insurance salesmen and truck drivers. I am not kidding. I was expecting something oh you know motivational. I guess that is to much to ask from a crappy sports movie..


The only reason to watch the movie. Or if you like football.
