Oh, drat, this looks cool. In a very stupid, but fun way. Stanley Spidowski is a very good pick, JoeRules.
It's not too late for another sign-up, is it? I don't care about being last or whatever.

There are a ton more in the Air Buddies series but Air Bud himself is not in those afaik.

My turn? I choose Christy Brown from My Left Foot. Inspiring story. Very touching. Daniel Day-Lewis got his first Oscar for it. Wouldn't have a team without him.

Solid pick. Everyone saw it coming but no one had the guts to steal it from underneath him. AirBud is the extremely coachable and ready to contribute right away, although we'll see how much production he has left in him.

With the 9th pick in the 1st round, Team jimcunningham selects...

Thelma & Louise



Whoa! Two characters at once! Surely this is cheating! Let me check the rulebooks. Nope.

These two movie mavens went from small town women to fearless badasses who always had eachother's backs.

Can't let the GOAT keep sitting on the board...

Round #1, Pick #10



The Man with No Name

Men want to be him. Women want him to be in them. If he had an SA account, he'd probably be banned a dozen times already for mod sass and eyerolling at SJW walls of text. Guy is a total bad rear end, a crack shot, and an American Hero.

Quint is a man out of time. A great man in any age. I would follow him to hell and back, and you should too.

Another 1? Aww man...
This draft is a very significant undertaking, and I feel that it's important to ensure I don't get carried away. There's a tendency for one's reach to exceed their grasp, and I don't want to end up in an apocalyptic scenario because I tried to go too far. So, for the 12th Draft Pick of Round 1, I'm choosing...

Dr. Ian Malcolm, Jurassic Park (1993), The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)



I think in circumstances like these the voice of dissent Dr. Malcolm brings will be perfect to keep potentially risky impulses in check.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PLvdmifDSk

Additionally, he has a certain charm to him that is simply irresistible.



And beyond all that, he's just a fun guy to be around.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBxgAmdPQWg

I have high hopes for this team, and it all starts with Ian.

LET ME EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING
Sorry, I'm here.

Well, if jimcunningham can draft Thelma and Louise, I certainly know what I'm doing.

Pick 1

Nick and Nora Charles from the Thin Man series
This is the couple all couples wish they could be, and know they won't be because they'll never be that awesome. Everywhere they go, they're solving mysteries while looking stylish and drinking ungodly amounts of alcohol. They beat anyone else in a coolness contest.
Also, they have The Best Dog. (gently caress you, Airbud)

Pick 2

Sheriff Bart from Blazing Saddles
He rode a blazing saddle
He wore a shining star
His job, to offer battle
To bad men near and far
He conquered fear and he conquered hate
He turned dark night into day
He made his blazing saddle
A torch to light the way

When outlaws ruled the west
And fear fills the land
A cry went up for a man with guts
To take the west in hand
They needed a man who was brave and true
With justice for all as his aim
Then out of the sun rode a man with a gun
And Bart was his name, yes Bart was his name

He rode a blazing saddle
He wore a shining star
His job, to offer battle
To bad men near and far
He conquered fear and he conquered hate
He turned dark night into day
He made his blazing saddle
A torch to light the way
