Ever think maybe you'll watch "Invincible" ...

... but you just can't bring yourself to do it?

Me today. I was close, though.

Ultimately ... Fuck the Eagles.
Nope.

hot girlfriend (Elizabeth Banks) a Giants fan so it's not all bad.
Eh, give them a break

short of a fake boxer played by Sylvester Stallone, a bartender who covered kickoffs for a couple years is about the best sports hero they can muster up.

OK, I'll give them Dr J. But he was from NY
hey, hey, hey

let's keep Sly outta this
It already happened so watching it doesn't bother me.

It's actually a pretty cool story.
I watched it  
pjcas18 : 2/20/2017 2:06 pm : link
it's not like some Eagles love fest, it's more like Rudy in the NFL.

not an oscar nominee but I've spent two hours on worse stuff.
It really is a great story...

and it does not matter that it was in Philly. You have a guy who gets a shot. A hard working guy. How can you not root for that? BTW, I met Papale in the St Louis Airport two years ago. He was looking for an outlet to charge his phone and I happened to be sitting next to the only one in the gate area. Motioned to him to come share the outlet. We spoke for a little while. Really nice guy.
Can't stand Mark Wahlberg

Beezer... I'm in the same boat with you on this one.

Elizabeth Banks as a Giants fan was awesome.

Mike in Long Beach : 2/20/2017 3:19 pm : link

Seriously?
Saw it several times over the years  
ChathamMark : 2/20/2017 7:41 pm : link
The Eagles thing doesn't bother me. Just a good football story/movie of a guy making it big after long odds. Sorta like Rudy in that respect.
as long as you dont watch  
Dankbeerman : 2/20/2017 7:55 pm : link
the last 2 minutes its mostly just a guy in an eagle jersey getting beaten up. almost as fun as the little giants beating the cowboys.

And its nowhere near as good a movie as Rudy.
All Philly jokes aside  
mfsd : 2/20/2017 8:32 pm : link
I saw it a while back, it was a decent movie...Greg Kinnear was pretty good as a young Dick Vermeil. Nowhere near as good as Rudy, but there are far worse movies out there
The movie has a happy ending. The Eagles don't win ...  
Boy Cord : 2/20/2017 9:52 pm : link
... a Super Bowl.
I've seen it several times.....  
Doomster : 2/20/2017 11:11 pm : link
30 year old guy, tries out for the Eagles, and makes the squad as a gunner on ST's.....

He was a pretty good athlete, but never played college football, just some semi pro.....

And then one day Vermiel had open tryouts, and at the age of 30, somehow he makes the team......a real life "Rocky" story....

It's a good story......gets a thumbs up from me....
