Grab your beer, set your lineups and welcome the new football season! Yes, thats right! The 2017-2018 NFL season is here and to help kickoff this season I’ve decided to do a top five dedicated to films about the sport. I have always loved the sport since I was a kid. From playing “Tecmo Bowl”, “Madden” just about every year and NFL Blitz to playing the real thing for a number of years. I love the sport almost as much as I love movies. When you put the two together you can get some really memorable films. Here’s my picks for top five football films.
Little Giants
It seems like each sport has at least one film made for children. Baseball has Sandlot, hockey has Mighty Ducks, basketball has Space Jam and so on. Well when it comes to football that film is Little Giants. The Little Giants...

In your bizarre sports news of the day, NFL Hall of Fame wide receiver Tim Brown is suggesting former Raiders head coach Bill Callahan sabotaged his own team at Super Bowl Xxxvii.
In fact, Brown claims Callahan threw the game because he hated the Raiders and wanted to help his buddy, Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden get the win.
Really? Well, at least one former Raider agrees this is the way it went down in 2003. Stay tuned ... it gets weirder.
In a conversation with Sirius Xm NFL Radio, Brown claims that Callahan's last minute move to switch the Raiders' offensive game plan from run first to a passing game, was not only an attempt to sabotage the team;s Super Bowl chances, but is also what sent Raiders center Barret Robbins into a manic-depressive state that saw him go missing in Mexico the day before the big game.

It’s Super Bowl weekend, which means two things: You better get some Tums ’cause there’s chili coming, and you better have a good football movie or two to hold you over until the Sunday evening gridiron action.
Why do doubt everyone else on the Interwebs (not to mention their mothers) has a very serious list of The Greatest Football Films Ever Made in All of History, we figured we’d best serve you with our personal favorites, as embarrassing as some of them may be.
Go Team!
Kevin Polowy, Executive Editor: ‘Rudy’ (1993)
When I was in high school, the real Rudy Ruettiger came and delivered a motivational speech to the student body. Afterwards, I had him autograph a Styrofoam plate in the cafeteria. None of this has any bearing on why I love “Rudy,” just Fyi.
The real reason I love “Rudy” is not that it’s the ultimate underdog tale,...
