The Big Pete Icehouse had a great Idea for this week's MMSS
The best cameo by any athlete in a movie.
It doesn't have to be sports related, any movie, any role.
-Note(We are now including TV shows)
I thought about this all Sunday, and I went back and forth on my picks. I couldn't decide so I chose two
First is Shaq playing the infamous Neon Bodeaux in Blue Chips
It's one of the better sports movies, and Shaq is great in it.
Next is LT in Any Given Sunday.
LT is still one of my favorite football players and yeah the movie is a giant cliche, but he shines.
Let the shit storm begin.

I seriously considered Ken Griffey Jr in Little big league. Specifically his catch
ReplyDeleteOr Ozzie Smith in The Scout. They tried to portray the Wiz as a bad guy
ReplyDeleteOk I'm going to get these out of the Way, Howie Long in both firestorm and broken arrow. and of course Brian Bosworth in one tough bastard
ReplyDeleteOHHHHH SHIT, I FORGOT VINNIE JONES. I'll go with Lock Stock
ReplyDeleteCan't believe i forgot Wilt in Conan the Destroyer
ReplyDeleteTravis Best as Sip Rogers in He Got Game. "My name is Sip. From the East to West. I rock this joint. With the most finesse."
ReplyDeleteI have a great one in mind but I'll see if anyone else gets it
ReplyDeleteKevin Garnett in Rebound. The one about Earl Manigault, not the Martin Lawrence one.
ReplyDeleteI'd also like to say LT's line in waterboy is priceless
ReplyDeleteStone Cold Steve Austin in the Longest Yard.
ReplyDeleteOJ in naked gun flicks
ReplyDeleteEvander Holyfield in Necessary Roughness.
ReplyDeleteStone cold has the best line in hollywood history
ReplyDeleteAllan Houston in Black and White.
ReplyDeleteDoes Keith Hernandez is Seinfeld Count?
ReplyDeleteMike Modano in Mighty Ducks.
ReplyDeleteKeith Hernandez definitely counts.
ReplyDeleteTerrell Owens in Any Given Sunday
ReplyDeleteRodman. Double Team.

ReplyDeleteKareem Abdul Jabbar, Airplane
ReplyDeleteBill Walton in Little Nicky. "Yes! My hair is aflame!"
ReplyDeleteCan we give a worst cameo award to Lance Armstrong in Dodgeball?
ReplyDeleteWorst cameo...Emmitt Smith in Little Giants
ReplyDeleteWorst cameo...Bruce Smith in Little Giants
ReplyDeleteWorst Cameo....John Madden in Little Giants
ReplyDeleteBest Cameo....Al Bundy (scored 4 TD's in one game at Polk High) in Little Giants
ReplyDeleteI think Jim Kelly in Necessary Roughness deserves notice.
ReplyDelete"Yeah armadillos lets get it on"
Not that it's a movie, and not that it's a cameo, but Manning's United Way Sketch (especially in light of Phelps' painful SNL stint) deserves some props.

That's a good one. If we're doing SNL sketches, we can include the one where Walter Payton tells the Church Lady that he likes the feeling of knowing he could kill any man on the street with his bare hands.
ReplyDeleteKareem Abdul-Jabbar in Game of Death.
ReplyDeleteOh man, we forgot about Marino in Ace Ventura. "Hey Ace! Got any more of that gum?"
ReplyDeleteBubba Smith in all of the Police Academy Series. That one might take all.
ReplyDeleteRick Fox as 'Chick' in He Got Game was pretty fantastic. I mean, he takes Jesus "Ray Allen" Shuttlesworth around college, making out with white girls while 'tha sistaz' (who Chick derides as making him work too hard) disapprove. Then he takes Jesus to a rocking ass dorm party, where he is eventually introduced to Chasey Lain and some other porn star. Right before a wacky threesome ensues, Chick offers such words of advice/encouragement, "Brooklyn is in the house. Keep it real."
ReplyDeleteWe may need a ruling on the use of pro wrestlers. They are, after all, more actors than athletes. Can I just get it off my chest and say I want to nominate Andre the Giant for his role as Fezzig in The Princess Bride? He does have all the great one-liners.
ReplyDelete"What's my way"
"When he runs around the corner, bash his head in with a rock."
"My way's not very sporting.
and...
"No more rhymes, I mean it!"
"Anybody want a peanut?"
Steve Austin played football at UNT, so he's valid. Kevin Nash played basketball for Tennessee, so he's eligible for his roles in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze; and Grandma's Boy.
ReplyDelete"They'll massage your cock for money. Pretty sure that makes them hookers."
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson Played ball at the U. Although the Rock was the best wrestler to ever live and the most underrated actor I'm going to have to go with his role in DOOOOOOM!!!!!! Perhaps the most misunderstood movie of our generation.
ReplyDeletebob golic in saved by the bell: the college years. Suck it.
