80's Movies and The NFL

What can 80's movies teach us

Star-divide

Eighties movies have taught me so much about life. I figured since we can apply all of the valuable lessons of Short Circuit/The Breakfast Club/Fast Times to so many things, why can’t we compare it to NFL teams. When you look at it further, some teams you would be able to directly cast into 80’s movie sequels. Take a look at some possible pitches.

Wall Street 2-Starring the Buffalo Bills
Bills President Ralph Wilson plays naive Stockbroker Bud Fox, who relentlessly pursues Gordon Gecko (played by Terrell Owens). After Terrell briefly wins over the Buffalo fans he tries to sabotage the team to increase ratings for the popular TO reality show. The fans balk and send TO packing…again.

Short Circuit 3-Starring the New York Giants, Short Circuit 2 is already out on DVD.
Eli Manning is cast as the Johnny 5 the fun loving robot, who started out literally as a droid, (please refer to first three years in the league). Eli finally breaks away from his robotic ways to bring the giants to the Super bowl. Tom Coughlin will be casted as Steve Guttenberg and Ali Sheady as pouty Jeremy Shockey who is on the IR for most of the movie.

Back to the Future IV-Starring the Oakland Raiders
Al Davis revises his role of Doc Brown and his crazy inventions; his newest one is the Oakland Raiders 2009 roster and draft. Tom Cable plays George Mcfly who has enough with Biff who is played by assistant Randy Hanson and ends up punching him in the jaw.

Say Anything 2 -Starring the San Francisco 49ers
The most memorable scene of the movie is John Cusack who is played by Coach Singletary holding up his stereo outside the room of Michael Crabtree. In your eyes…..you were the 7th pick. Please refer to this years draft.

Big 2-Starring Kevin Kolb
Kevin Kolb reprises the role of Tom Hanks character Josh Baskins. In this version Kevin wishes he is the starting quarterback until he get blindsided by the Saint D. You know what, being a back up isn’t half bad.

Here's a thing ...

… notice how 1980s superstars keep dying during tennis majors? We lost Farah Fawcett and Michael Jackson during Wimbledon, and now Patrick Swayze during the US Open. My bet is Madonna is not looking forward to next year’s Australian Open …
