Notre Dame initially receives a no, then its modern football era receives support for1988–94 and the1993 season; Dutton receives clear support alongside Roc. — Kyle Brandt

All-time centers in informal football receive a yes, with the position’s limited appeal mocked. — Bill Simmons
Vaughn/Favreau collaborations peak at Swingers; Rockne speeches are assigned an alternative in The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training and criticized as overrated here. — Bill Simmons

Unsupportive sports-family members peak with Paulie, including the later loss of Rocky’s money; Rocky’s unpaid Drago fight also deserves blame. — Bill Simmons
