"That's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see how it works."
"Hell Cup, it never even occurred to me to try."
"You do that, you go to the box, you know. Two minutes, by yourself, you know and you feel shame, you know. And then you get free."
"Noonan!!! Noonan!!!"

Bonus from a real Herb Brooks speech in a pregame peptalk from before the gold medal game in 1980 versus Finland right after they beat the Russians. "You lose this game you'll take it to your ******* grave. (A couple steps to the door and then back) You're ******* grave."

Had a Madonna song in it. Did not like.
Had Madonna herself in it, as the filmmakers got her just as she was becoming enormously famous,

I can understand not liking the movie as whole. But the scene I'm talking about? It sums up why people care about sports better than anything I've ever seen.

Used that a couple of times on my last boss too when he tried to get me to change my "work evaluation" of myself when he was supposed to write it. He said it was not long enough or in depth "wordy" enough for him. I like short and to the point.

After saying "my team is on the floor" he asked what I meant by that and I told him. He was not happy but...I did not care.

This is the worst looking hat I ever saw. You buy a hat like this, I bet you get a free bowl of soup.
Oh, it looks good on you, though...

"Gonna need a bigger boat"

"Aren't you a little short to be a storm trooper"

Use both plenty they're both surprisingly versatile.

I always quote sports movies. Four of my favorite are from Major League alone:

“Forget the curveball, Ricky….GIVE EM THE HEATER!!!”

“He once threw at his own kid in a father-son game”

“I don’t think that one’s QUITE got the distance”

“EFF YOU JOBU, I do it myself!”
