My Himalayan Buddy (Buddha) left us with a phlare yesterday after noon ... in a funeral pyre ... a send off in essence of great war*mth ... it'll burn in somewhere strange ... like deep in sole ... a singularly odd thing as 1 internal possession reflecting in Canan what's out there? Sort of like thoughts of the scull*ing*place ...

Condolences again, Luce. I always return my critters to the ground. Which has its own challenges. My in-laws lived for many years on a fair-sized acreage just outside town. I buried a considerable number of dogs and cats there (this being one of the periods where I had, at one point, five cats...)When f-i-l developed alzheimer's, they sold the house and moved into town. The larger acreage was soon thereafter sold off to developers. Some poor house builder must have thought he'd stumbled on Pet Cemetery...
I like the Nepalese sense of going out with a flare ... sort of like Eli rising to the top of the pile at last (see GEO's latest posting on transfiguration) there is something of mental arrhythmia in the calm of a numbed day!
Thus the hole is burned into an imaginary space ... some define the mind as totally imaginary space ... a parallel to Egyptian Mythology that let to creation of Arabic numerals, etc. Does the transmuting in reversion cause some dissonance to the piece ...?
Dr. Doolittle comes to mind as we talk to the internalized animas ... something to take to the darkness of heart ... starting the good grief curve Charlie Browned off in the beginning of the car*Tune ... tis a spin off of Charles Lamb and Burned Pig! A heated sow in which amen could be ingested ... as in a gasp? AUM-I ...

Brian's Song is the better story.
Because Sport is intimately connected to life some of the best Sports stories are also some of the best life stories.
Brian's Song, We Are Marshall and Rudy are probably the finest "football" movies around primarily because they allow football to take a back seat to other issues of ultimate importance.
42, 61 and Moneyball are probably the finest baseball movies for pretty much the same reason. The game, while important, is not of ultimate importance. A League of Their Own waits in the ondeck circle and Field of Dreams has been sent down to the minors.
Good Hockey movies that are not extended cliche's are hard to find. The Rocket: The Legend of Rocket Richard is probably the cream of the crop. Which doesn't feel like much of a compliment when you realize that the crop is dominated by Might Ducks movies.
Hoop Dreams and Hoosiers are the best Basketball movies I have seen and I have no passion for that particular game., Rebound, Salaam Dunk are basketball movies I think would make for compelling watching.
I can't remember watching any soccer movies so I can't make any suggestions that way.
Of all the movies mentioned above 42 is the only one I bothered purchase after seeing it in the theatres. Most everything else was a rental.
If you are interested in the actual humanity of the athletes these are good movies to see it.

There was a biopic about Man United not too long ago but you are right, they aren't as common as movies about American sports like football and baseball.
I did find this list, which include The Damned United, the biopic I mention above.

Well, I had basin, ham, and much room pizza, watched down with a sold ginger ale. Maybe you would try that.
