Amazon.com: 25 Great Kids Sports Movies

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

Is there a better kids sports movie than Hoosiers? The young hoopster in your house will love it.

We had a lot of rain around the east coast last week and decided to watch a couple of great kids sports movies. One of them Rudy, about a walk on football player at Notre Dame, has made Amazon.com’s list of 25 great kids sports movies.

A range of movies made the list of best kids sports movies and a range of sports — from baseball (The Sandlot) and basketball (Like Mike) to hockey (The Mighty Ducks) and extreme sports (MXP-Most Extreme Primate).

There are movies for kids of all ages that will make us laugh and want to get out there and play when the rain ends and the sun comes back out.

One of our favorites, Bend It Like Beckham made the list while Miracle, about the 1980 Team USA miracle on ice, did not? Go figure. What are your favorite sports movies?

BTW, don’t forget to join our free Champions Club — for those who want to be the best they can be. (Maybe there will be a movie about you one day!)

A huge Family Fantasy Sports congratulations to Team Philly of The Arkansas/Texas FFL on a gigantic fantasy football performance. Drew Brees (QB-NO), Ray Rice (RB-BAL), Andre Johnson (WR-HOU), and DeSean Jackson (WR-PHI) had great weeks and helped Team Philly put up 150.44 points, beating the next closest team, Orange Crush (Open League 110) by nearly 5 points.

Team Philly’s favorite NFL team is the Philadelphia Eagles and his favorite player is Marvin Harrison (WR-IND). Check out Team Philly’s lineup (with point calculations below). In addition to winning a prize certificate, Team Philly also takes home a 529 college savings contribution.

Other great performers during Week 14 of the 2009 season were Padooder Head (Joe’s Fantasy League), T Rexes (Dad & Child 77), Arthritis Jones and Gang (MVK-DC Bobb), Tigers (Justice League), and Venice Sailors (Hoggs Forever League). Check out all of the Top 25 Teams from Week 14 of the 2009 NFL Fantasy Football League.

The Alex Report is back!

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Alex, the 8-year-old fantasy guru and owner of The Determinators, is back to make his picks for Week 12.  He had a strong showing in his picks for Week 10, so let’s see how he does now!

OK, folks!  Here is your Alex Report!

Players to START:

  • Aaron Rodgers, Donald Driver, and/or Greg Jennings … they are playing Detroit, and Detroit is just horrible.  (Editor’s note, that about says it.) :)
  • Nate Burleson Sea @ St. Louis.  He’s good.  And St. Louis is bad.
  • DeSean Jackson, Philadelphia vs Washington.  He might be a good option as both a receiver and special teams player (Eagles DST)
  • Larry Johnson, Cincinnati vs Cleveland.  Johnson will probably play, and the Bengals are home against Cleveland.  (If Benson plays, better to start him!)
  • LT!  Yes, believe it or not, Alex is calling for a big game from the former San Diego superstar against their division rival, the Chiefs!
  • Adrian Peterson (the Minnesota one, not the Chicago one) … Minnesota vs Chicago.  He’s always a good pick!  (and he’s at home)

Sleepers:

  • Ray Rice, Baltimore vs Pittsburgh.  Playing at home.
  • Donovan McNabb.  He’s playing pretty well, and he gets to play Washington.
