Top 10 American Football Movies


All that stands between the Pittsburgh Steelers (14-4) and an unprecedented sixth Super Bowl title is an odds-defying Arizona Cardinals (12-7) squad trying to end a 61-season title drought.
In celebration of football let's take a look at the best football movies of all time.



1.Remember the Titans (2000)


Denzel Washington is hired as the T.C. Williams High football coach over a white coach in Alexandria, Virginia in the early 1970's during a time when the school has just been integrated to allow blacks into the school.








2.Rudy(1993)

Rudy(Sean Astin) grew up in a steel mill town where most people ended up working, but wanted to play football at Notre Dame instead. There were only a couple of problems. His grades were a little low, his athletic skills were poor, and he was only half the size of the other players. But he had the drive and the spirit of 5 people and has set his sights upon joining the team.





3.Friday Night Lights(2004)

This movie tells the story of a West Texas town and its obsession with High School Football. It shows how the expectations of classmates, coaches, family and community members exact a toll on the players who are looked upon as gods but who are still just kids.







4.We Are Marshall(2006)
When a plane crash claims the lives of members of the Marshall University
football team and some of its fans, the team's new coach (McConaughey)
and his surviving players try to keep the football program alive.








5.Invincible(2006)
Vince Papale (Mark Wahlberg) is a 30-year-old bartender who has just lost his part-time teaching job. Disgusted with his professional failure, his wife abruptly leaves him. With the support of all his friends from the neighborhood, Papale goes out for an open tryout practice; catching the attention of coach Vermeil, he is invited to come along to training camp. Papale eventually makes the team, and in the second regular season game versus the New York Giants, he recovers a fumble and returns it
for a touchdown, which leads to Vermeil's first victory with the Eagles.




6. Gridiron Gang (2006)

Based on the true story of the Kilpatrick Mustangs during the 1990 season,
the very first in which they played eleven man football. Kilpatrick is a facility located in Malibu, California for juvenile delinquents with multiple offenses. The overall moral is that even though people deal with difficulties in their lives, these young teenagers overcome their fears and frustrations using self-discipline and learn to leave their problems on the football field.






7.The Express(2008)
Based on the incredible true story, The Express follows the inspirational
life of college football hero Ernie Davis (Rob Brown), the first African-American to win the Heisman Trophy. Following his draft by the NFL, tragedy struck the star athlete and he was never able to take the professional field. But his tale would forever change the face of
professional sports.






8. Any Given Sunday(1999)
The film deals with the fictional Miami Sharks, a once-great team now in turmoil and struggling to make the playoffs. It examines many different aspects of American football, including the players, staff, front office, politicians, and press, and the pressures that they face.








9. The Replacements (2000)
Based on the 1987 professional football players' strike.
Gene Hackman plays the coach of the team, Jack Warden is the owner,
Brett Cullen is the All-Pro quarterback that goes on strike and
Keanu Reeves is the "scab" who replaces the star QB.








10. Varsity Blues (1999)
The movie follows a small-town high school football team and
their overbearing coach through a tumultuous season. The players must deal with the pressures of adolescence and their football obsessed community while having their hard coach on their back constantly.








Because it's an inspiration to see someone who is
very unlikely to win,
to actually try still.

Rooting for the Cardinals!

L-O-V-E

Sa pag-ibig kahit na masaktan ka o lumuha pa
ang mahalaga marunong kang maglaba
at hindi ka takot mamalantya
dahil ang magaling magsaing
ay may katapat na tunay na kanin.
Tandaan mo na ang buhay ay hindi
isang piraso ng papel na pwedeng ibato
sa nagliliyab na apoy
na kapag isinubo at napaso ay maaring iluwa
sa batis na kay tamis
na hindi kayang pantayan
ang kislap ng brilyante ng
mga diwata sa kagubatan.

The Profile Pics

In my 4 years existence in the so called "social networking sites",di ko talaga maiwasan na di mapansin ang mga profile pics. Eto ang ilan sa mga classic na profile pics.hehe

"The please add me up photo"

Kung classic lang ang pag-uusapan di mawawala ang mga
posing na ganito. Mostly mga highschool ang ng-uupload ng ganito. Ang matindi pa jan may nakapost sa shoutout na "Please add me up imsosober@yahoo.com".






"I'm so popular,please add me up in my 2nd account photo"
Eto naman ung tipong gusto i-impress lahat at ipagyabang na sobrang sikat nila and full na ang account nila. The reason why dumami ang friends ay sa pamatay na profile pic. Kung yung una ng-mamakaawa eto nman :
"Im "dEfInItLy_FULL"..kindly add my 2nd account ...mitchilyte@yahoo.com...so i can accept the add...all my suitors..ThAnKs 4 bEinG a mOSt PoPuLaR iN FRIeNdStEr.... Luv u all....t-cee....u"
WTF!









" cartoon or anime-based avatar "
could mean that


a.) your in the know and di ka maka-get over sa
napanood mo OR
b.) isip bata ka lang!hehe







"looking away from the camera photo"
This type of profile pics can mean two things


a.)"You're artistic, creative and thoughtful. You don't always follow the
rules but prefer to question and explore." Naks!









"The EMO"

b.)Wala kang kasama sa room and you want to
try your 3.2MP camera phone.
Eto ang mga
popular profile pics ng mga kabataan
these days.





"The I've been there photo"

A typical Pinoy photo mas malaki ang background
kesa sa tao.Nyahaha





At kung payabangan lang din ang pag-uusapan wala na siguro tatalo dito.

"The I go to the gym religiously but i can't show my
fuckin' face photo"








"The Feeling Photographer Photo"

Eto naman ung mga tipong kulang na lang ilagay
kung magkano ang DLSR na meron sya and anong
lens. Usually sa Facebook sila ng-eexist.



Sa mga may-ari ng pics na to, sensya na di lang ako makatulog and wala akong
magawa. Just my 10 cents anyway, kaya don't be affected.Hihihi
