20 Best Sports Movie Quotes of All-Time (Part 1)

Sports movies resonate with many of us, helping us relive glories of yesterday or watch the worst team in the league suddenly win the big game.  For years now, sports movies have been part of our culture, evolving with our ever-changing world and bringing larger-than-life characters to the big screen.

Not only do the movies themselves become etched in our memories, but the quotes of characters become part of our everyday conversation, worming their way into our language until we wonder how we ever did without them. But which one is the best?

Warning: Some of the videos have NSFW language, so be careful.


#20 - Major League 2



Harry Doyle:  It looks like Willie Hays is trying to hit Rick Vaughn, and why not?  Everybody else in the league does.

Harry Doyle is the epitome of what a movie baseball announcer should be: funny, critical and drunk. You could probably make a list of Harry's best quotes, but for today, we'll just pick one and let you know there are tons more. Juuuuuuuuuuuuuust a bit outside.


The Top 10 Worst Pittsburgh Penguins of the Last 10 Years

The Pittsburgh Penguins are only two seasons removed from their last Stanley Cup championship, have the greatest player in the world as their center, and have a supporting cast of Jordan Staal, Marc-Andre Fleury, and Evgeni Malkin.   Along with their new-found success has come a new generation of Penguins fans who don't know of the hardships long-time Pens fans suffered during the "dark ages" (2002-2006).

Well, fear not, because we are going to take a look at the worst Penguins since 2001...



#10 - Dan Focht  (D, 2002-2004)


While most Penguins fans have blocked this defenseman out of their minds, a simple mention of his name is enough to send chills down their spine.  Notoriously bad with the puck, Focht made every single fan in the arena nervous when he handled the vulcanized rubber.  His lack of speed and positioning more than contributed to his -23 rating during 52 games with the club in 03-04.  Danny wasn't much of a passer, or hitter, or shooter, or shot blocker, but hey...I bet he tried really hard.
