With The Last Match and The Wolves opening soon, I thought it'd be interesting to catalog the major western plays that actively engage with the field of athletics. What I came up with:

The Last Match

The Wolves

Deuce

Lombardi

Magic/Bird

Bronx Bombers

That Championship Season

X's and O's: A Football Love Story

Colossal

Any others?

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Take Me Out really has precious little to do with sports.

Rather; it's a three hour tutorial on excellent personal hygiene.

Does a crap game and a song about handicapping horses achieve sports show status?
