Sunday 4:57pm. I’m hung over (duh) and watching the last few minutes of Remember The Titans on TBS. Football movies have always tickled me the right way. They combine the indulgences of nostalgia and youthful glory. I should’ve specified that only high school football movies do it for me, with the exception of the Devon Sawa classic Little Giants.
Umm.
There were some points I was gonna make here, promise. Oh, does anyone remember TBS pre “very funny”? A few years ago channel 47 was the go to place for a Sunday afternoon Lethal Weapon marathon. I guess Ted Turner thinks playing Somethings Gotta Give three times in a weekend is a better idea. Dang.
Back to Remember The Titans. In the funeral scene the team sings that na na na na hey hey goodbye song as the casket is lowered. This strikes me as odd. Now I am not an avid sports fan by any means but I was under the impression that the crowd sings that song to mock a losing opposing team in the last few minutes of the game. Why then, would the team want segue their friend into the afterlife with a na na na na hey hey goodbye? Before I got too concerned with this Drumline came on and the channel, as well as my thoughts, were switched.
