Go Tigers!



Here's a synopsis from Rotten Tomatoes:

The 106th season of the 1999 Tigers finds Massillon, Ohio a "house divided". Following the team's poor season the previous year, the people of Massillon are faced with a school tax levy necessary to protect the jobs of teachers, coaches and the Massillon educational system itself. After three consecutive levy defeats, the town is split down the middle on the issue.
As the election approaches, the Tiger players come to realize that the fate of the levy and the future of their town seems to rest on their success, creating a pressure-filled atmosphere. Faced with obstacles on and off the field, the Tigers must endure criticism, accusation and self-doubt. Taking on these challenges, THREE YOUNG STARS emerge to carry the burden of the town they love into an uncertain future. Entering the final game of the season against mortal enemy Canton McKinley, these young men and their coaches come to understand the power of tradition, the depth of their character and the undeniable force of destiny.

If you only see one football documentary this year, or ever, make it this one. I netflixed this the other day. Like all meaningful movies I see, this one has stayed in my thoughts the past few days. Check out the preview above and if that doesn't make you want to see it, then you are crazy. Or gay. I kid, I kid the homosexuals. Actually, you'd like it if you were gay because there are a lot of ripped dudes working out with their shirts off.
