I didn’t think it was possible but I found a bootleg version of Miracle on a website called lookmovie2.to that you can watch here:
And honestly guys this should be a huge step in the right direction for our collective relationship.
I told you at the start of the week I’d come out swinging on a bootleg Miracle and here we are Thursday morning watching Miracle.
Just to be clear – this isn’t easy business in my line of work.
One time I spent the better part of 4 hours trying to track down a Little Giants just because I made a simple comment on a podcast one time about how I needed a free version of Little Giants. And I said this right around the time it got temporarily scrubbed from the internet.
That was a tough day and I’m happy it’s behind me.
Miracle though?
We’re just getting started and I forgot how good Kurt Russell was in the role. Really a super actor and a perfect pivot to something I think is very underrated: Sports Movies Assistant Coaches.
There’s not a lot of them, but Miracle has one of the best. This is Noah Emmerich portraying Craig Patrick and it’s really good shit.
I’m not ranking the other ones but here’s who else I like in the all time assistant movie coaches category:
- Bill Yoast – Remember the Titans
- Banes – The Replacements
- Shooter – Hoosiers
- Little Big league guy
- The coach in Major League who says “Look at this fucking guy”
- Brickma
- Farmer Fran
- Larry
Are there others I’m forgetting?
It’s an obscure category and I could certainly use some help rounding it out.
Until then, some programming notes for today:
- It’s Thursday March 13th and the Illini play in the Big Ten Tournament later today against Iowa
- We have college basketball all day long starting at 10am central
- The Players is this weekend and also starts today
- Trent shot a +29 yesterday at the Creator Classic
- Cubs opening day is in 5 days
- Never too early to Bears mock draft
- I think we’re getting a high of 65 today – perfect for a couple wedge shanks on the range
- We’re thin on Cubs and Bears news today but we’ll make the best of it anyways, which is my way of saying things could get a little weird today on CarlsBlogs.com and that’s just fine.
Most importantly:
Have a great day.
You earned it.
Pretty good list. Brickma should have been first. I think you are missing Casey Conway (Charlie’s mom) in Mighty Ducks 1. She had a short but impactful stint in the box when Emelio was sidelined. Also a milf.
