We must have watched Rocky IV too many times before Rounders. We compared Teddy KGB to Ivan Drago, and when thinking of Lester “Worm” Murphy we thought of Paulie, a friend who only caused problems for our hero, due to selfishness and ineptitude. We’ll say this though, if we are going to have a friend that bad, we at least want him to be as good an actor as Edward Norton.



The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Rounders (1998)

Actor:
Matt Damon

Why you should vote for him:
Norton was great as a weasel.

Why you should not vote for him:
Is poker a sport?

This was typical Disney fare for a sports film, so recounting here seems a little redundant. Let’s just say that when half way decent line occurred, it was given to the goofy looking fat kid; as tends to happen in mediocre films with copious amounts of children.



The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
The Big Green (1995)

Actor:
Patrick Renna

Position Portrayed:
Goalie

Played for:
Elma, TX

Why you should vote for him:
Have you seen this kid? Give him a break!

Why you should not vote for him:
Steve Guttenberg (a post Police Academy version) had the top billing here. Enough said.

One of the top shows on BET, “The Game” has managed to cultivate a decent audience in this Football themed comedic soap opera. The main star on the field is Malik Wright, the Quarterback of the San Diego Sabres; but we learn far more about his personal life than anything he ever accomplishes on the gridiron. That is fine for the show, but is it fine for the Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame, where we try to place a premium on on-field performance? We will also state that he is constantly overshadowed by his mother; and no matter what the scenario is that generally isn’t a good thing.



The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
The Game (2006-)

Actor:
Hosea Chanchez

Position Portrayed:
Quarterback

Played for:
San Diego Sabres

Why you should vote for him:
He is the lead character in a long running show. That should mean something.

Why you should not vote for him:
His mom is the bigger star of the show….again, his mom!

Now we can’t say we were admirers of Lori Petty’s Tank Girl look (and everything else since), but she was at her feisty best as Kit Keller, the younger sister of the star Catcher for the Rockford Peaches. Sure, sometimes the character was annoying in a Scrappy-Doo kind of way, but wait a minute, did we just compare Petty to the worst cartoon character of all time?   Well, she did get the winning hit to lead Racine (the team she was traded to midway through the movie) in the game’s climax, but did people leave the theatre remembering that?



The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
A League of Their Own (1992)

Actor:
Lori Petty

Position Portrayed:
Pitcher

Played for:
Rockford Peaches/Racine Belles

Why you should vote for her:
It is forgotten that it was she hit the game winning RBI for Racine in the World Series.

Why you should not vote for her:
Again, we will go with the Scrappy Doo parallels.
