Unrealistic Sports Movie Characters

I love sports movies, even the bad ones. Below are examples of characters that are either wildly or just slightly unbelieveable. Some I love, some I hate. Name yours.
1Nuke Laloosh
Bull Durham

Tim Robbins submits probably the worst example of an actor trying to be athletic in film history. His character is supposed to be a fireballing pitcher, but Robbins clearly cannot throw and even in the movie his pitches probably top out at 65 mph.
2Scott Howard
Teen Wolf

Ok, so Teen Wolf isn't exactly supposed to be believable in the first place, but when Michael J Fox shows up as himself, not as the Wolf, in the final game, his basketball performance is fucking laughable. LAUGHABLE.
3Billy Hoyle
White Men Can't Jump

So Woody is a sharpshooter huh? Nice two handed overhead set shot, fag.
4Brendan Fraisier
The Scout

Ok, I can maybe buy Fraisier as an athlete, but the premise of this movie is fucking ridiculous. He plays some vagabound pitcher living in Mexico, who gets signed by the Yankees. When he finally does pitch, its in game 7 of the world series, and he only throws 81 pitches, striking out all 27 batters for a perfect game to win it all, while throwing 110 mph. RIGHT.
5Scott Bakula
Neccessary Roughness

Can't remember his character name. But its real believeable that a 45 year old farmer can just jump in and lead a college football team to glory. That, and he can't throw worth a shit.
6Damon Wayans
Celtic Pride

Damon Wayans is cast as the best player in the NBA. uh-huh.
7Bernie Mac
Mr. 3000

Bernie Mac is not even close to believeable as a Hall of Fame slugger. RIP.
8Roy Hobbs
The Natural

Look, I love this movie. But a 40 something Robert Redford is not believeable as a guy who can hit like .400 with 80 bombs and 160 RBI, knocking the cover off of balls, and hitting stadium lights.
9Bobby Boucher
The Waterboy

I don't buy Sandler as an athelete in either The Longest Yard or here, but this is the biggest stretch. 180 pound loafers are not Dick Butkis like Linebackers.
10Jonathan Moxon
Varsity Blues

I know James Van Deer Beek was funny in Jay and SIlent Bob Strike Back, but stick to the fucking Creek, Dawson. I DONT WANT YOUR LIFE!
11Dude who was also in American Pie
Rooke of the Year

Yeah, this is the one where a 13 year old kid becomes the best player in the majors. Bonus points for the inclusion of Garey Busey as a grizzled fading pitcher. I love Gary Busey.
12Rosie O Donnel
A League of Their Own

The only athletic competition Rosie could fathomably enter is a certified Pig Fucking roundup, with her as the main attraction.
13Leo Dicarprio
The Basketball Diaries

Leo does a good job of playing the drugged out loser part, but he fails miserably in the basketball scenes. I'm talking big time.
14Shane Footsteps Falco
The Replacements

When Keanu was cast as a "former" college footbal player in Point Break, I could buy it. I do not buy him as an NFL quarterback who can lead a team full of scrubs against the best team in the league.
15John Goodman
The Babe

Yes, John Goodman may have been a logical choice because he resembles Babe Ruth. Unfortunately for John Goodman, he cannot even come close to swinging a bat properly. Stick to bowling, Walter.
