Fishermen Cited at Agua Hedionda Lagoon

Correction - The individual who tipped off the Game Wardens is a former employee of the construction company currently working on the railroad tracks. Also, the official accompanying the Wardens was not a Carlsbad police officer.

Greatest Sports Movies Ever

Oh yeah... I agree: Best of Times is severly underrated and while there are not many good basketball movies we'll always have White Shadow reruns.

Greatest Sports Movies Ever

Don't like golf, but loved Caddyshack. Best sports movie ever! Hate baseball (almost rather watch golf), but loved Bull Durham. Hate the Cowboys. Loved North Dallas Forty. Not a Notre Dame fan. Rudy was just OK. No one mentioned The Express. Really liked it, but maybe just 'cause I'm a closet Browns fan. Just kidding (kind of). Go Bolts! Loved Garp (the book, liked the movie), but more about writing than wrestling. Basketball Diaries should be included somewhere in the list. Should we not consider Endless Summer as one of the all time sports classics? While we're on the topic of "alternative sports," if you have ever ridden a snowboard, check out Critical Condition. Poineers of the sport ride to a great soundtrack. Extremely cheezy moments, but it really motivated me and many of my friends. If you like ANYTHING about soccer, watch Mean Machine. An infinitely better remake of the Longest Yard than Sandler's. (Happy Gilmore is in my top twenty, maybe top ten.)
