Counting Down the 10 Worst Sports Movies

10. Mr. 3000. Bernie Mac was a very funny man. Just not in this particular film. Let us remember him instead as a man that once voiced a character named "Fruit Juice" in the animated film 'Lil Pimp.

9. Invincible. Save an hour-plus of your time and watch It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: The Gang Gets Invincible from Season 3.

8. The Fan. A movie that probably looked great on paper but didn't translate to the screen, The Fan is the second-worst on Bobby D's resume.

7. Driven. Kip Pardue gives one of the all-time worst performances in cinematic history, sports or no sports.

6. Leatherheads. George Clooney tried to make a Coen Brothers film. Tried.

5. Invictus. Nelson Mandela is finally portrayed by real-life doppelganger Morgan Freeman, and it's the elderly, rugby superfan Mandela he gives us. Tragic.

4. For Love of the Game. Oh, for the love of...

3. Ali. Ali first lost its integrity when the man himself was at the premiere. Its authenticity is further diminished each painfully long minute, with Jon Voigt and Mario van Peebles woefully miscast as icons Howard Cosell and Malcolm X. Ron Silver as Angelo Dundee is just preposterous. With respect to Will Smith, who does transform in the role, Jada's presence further robs this biopic of any realism whatsoever. There are a number of Ali documentaries that are far more worthy of your time.

2. Two for the Money. Matthew McConaughey is an actor who isn't known for his acting. He's at his abso-worst in this 2005 clunker.

1. Any Given Sunday. All the NFL players that ever suited up wouldn't make up for the made-up teams that cost this movie its authenticity. That nearly any given actor is in Any Given Sunday also makes its suspension-of-disbelief factor about on par with Hot Tub Time Machine.
