Is Hoosiers a good movie? Apr 13, 2020

Show notes

Hoosiers. Oscar-nominated. Immortalized by the Library of Congress. AFI's fourth best sports movie ever made.

Also completely despised.

To put it plainly, the 1986 classic about the little basketball team that could and the coach that maybe should have cooled off a little bit is a divisive picture.

On today's Boxed In, Yahoo Sports baseball columnist Hannah Keyser is joined by national columnist Dan Wetzel and fantasy writer Andy Behrens to break down, debate, contextualize and judge Hoosiers. Is it a good movie or is it deserving of the hate?

Better Baseball Movie: The Sandlot vs. Major League Apr 10, 2020

Show notes

If you don't think this is an all-time sports movie debate, you're killing me smalls. Released only four years apart, Major League (1989) & The Sandlot (1993) feel like they're of two different eras. Perhaps it's the foul-mouthed sensibility of the former, or maybe it's the retro era setting of the latter.

Either way, these have become two of the most quotable baseball films of the last half-century and on today's Boxed In, Dan Wetzel, Mike Oz and John Nichols (aka LaJethro Jenkins) are settling the debate.

Better Comeback: Michael Jordan vs. Tiger Woods Apr 08, 2020

Show notes

Two years spent in baseball purgatory. A Thanksgiving-night car crash that instantly destroyed the picture-perfect image of a sport’s savior. Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods, arguably the two most iconic figures in their respective sports suffered stunning mid-career falls where many doubted if they would ever reach their colossal heights again.

On today’s Boxed In, Liz Loza, Jay Busbee & Vincent Goodwill debate the comebacks of Tiger & MJ. Whose return to glory was greater?

1985 Bears vs. 1995-96 Bulls Apr 06, 2020

Show notes

What is the greatest team of all time? Coinciding with Yahoo Sports’ Best Team Ever bracket, Dan Wetzel, Charles Robinson & Chris Haynes duke it out over two of the finalists on the premiere episode of Boxed In. In a surprisingly Chicago-centric episode, Charles argues for Jim McMahon, Walter Payton and the 1985 Bears, while Chris stands up for Michael Jordan, Dennis Rodman and the 1995-96 Bulls.

Is the Bears’ total dominance over their competition the deciding factor in the argument or does the everlasting star-power of the 90s Bulls put them over the edge?
