I know I've said it before but I'll say it again....I MISS SPORTS.

I'LL YELL IT FOR THE WORLD TO HEAR lol.

Sorry, I'm feeling rather dramatic today. Especially after hearing the WCBL had to cancel their 2020 season.

It makes total sense but it's still sad that we won't get to see our Dawgs play this year. (Does this mean we are also champs of the 2020 season? Technically no one's taken our title!😉)

I know we have hockey starting back up again so that's something to look forward to!

But I thought, why not share our favorite sports movies to help us get through this drought!

My top 3 sports favs (in no particular order):

1. SPACE JAM - COME ON AND SLAM AND WELCOME TO THE JAM! I mean Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny? What's not to love!? When I was a kid (and even now) I totally wanted to be Lola Bunny. Also did you know they had to build a court on the Warner Bros. lot while filming so MJ could train for the 95'-96' season - it was called the "Jordan Dome" and he balled out for like 3 hours a night with other b-ball superstars. V COOL.😎

2. RUDY - ugh. Rudy. The "comeback" kid. The "never give up" kid. The "make your dreams a reality" kid. If you don't like Rudy I have some serious questions for you. And if you don't cry every time you watch Rudy I have some even MORE serious questions for you. Such a feel good movie that leaves you feeling like you can DO ANYTHING!😝

 

(low quality gif for a high quality movie lol)

3. ESPN's 30 for 30 - BAD BOYS - This documentary is BAD BOY! It takes a look at the late 80's early 90's Detroit Pistons. They did anything to win. They beat up on Larry Bird, beat up on Magic Johnson and beat up on MJ. A lot of people hated them, they coined them the "Bad Boys" so you know what they did? They became the Bad Boys of basketball, what else did people expect!? You can't help but like them when you're watching the doc though. I liked them so much I purchased an Isiah Thomas jersey as soon as the film ended.😌

What are your top sports movies?? Comment on the Facebook post!

Also on the topic of movies! The Okotoks Film Festival is like weeks away! So get pumped up for it!

It's an amazing event in our town and we are so happy to see it's pushing through the pandemic. THE SHOW MUST GO ON!

Stay tuned because next week we may have some O.F.F. prizes for you on air. 😏
