This morning, a film called Undefeated(not to be confused with The Undefeated, the Sarah Palin documentary that came out last spring) received an Academy Award nomination for best documentary feature. It has screened in Los Angeles and at film festivals, and is coming out in selected theatres across the country in the next couple of weeks. It is the best film about football that I've ever seen.
It tells the story of the Manassas Tigers, a high school team in Memphis, Tennessee, and of their coach, Bill Courtney. Manassas High School is an inner-city school in one of the poorest major cities in America. Manassas was so underfunded that the team had to hire itself out as a "paycheck" opponent for bigger and better-funded schools, and it was a challenge for Courtney just to keep enough players in school and out of trouble to field a team when he first got the job. The filmmakers had extraordinary access to these kids, and they happen upon some moments so amazing that if you were seeing them in a fiction film, you'd dismiss them as implausible. I had the privilege of seeing the film in October at the Chicago International Film Festival, and it instantly became one of my favorite films that I've seen there.
I know a lot of people don't exactly rush to theatres to check out documentaries, but I promise you, this one deserves your attention. If you value sports for the lessons athletic competition can teach, or if you just like football(which I think covers most everybody here), I have to think you will enjoy this film.

heh @ Paul....
Sean: Yeah, its been a lifelong dream of mine to own a soft serve ice cream stand. I came within about a week of owning another one about 12 years ago, but the seller's wife nixed the deal about 3 days before closing.
Today, the owner of the pictured establishment accepted our offer and we're going to try and close sometime before the end of February. I'm aiming to open the first week of April, weather providing.
Its a big gamble for us. I love and appreciate my wife for letting me chase my dream, while putting some of our life savings on the line, but she's in it with me, and I know we can make a go of it. The economy is pretty sour in Michigan right now, but with the location of this property, and how much everyone loves ice cream, I think we'll do fine."The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, ..
