10 Most Irritatingly Improbable Sports Movies

When a sports team starts getting truly desperate, they're all of sudden willing to try all sorts of unconventional ideas in an attempt to succeed, basically just throwing ideas at a wall to see what sticks. But there is one thing absolutely zero sports teams have considered as the recipe for success, and that is hiring Whoopi Goldberg to be their new head coach.

Because that's just crazy.

Nonetheless, that's basically the plot of Eddie. She's a Knicks superfan, and they're basically like, "What the hell, why not? Nothing else has worked." Well, that's not exactly true. Their intention is never to actually hire her as a coach.

What they do is run a contest to be an "honorary coach" for the second half of a game, which also seems like something that would not happen in the NBA. Then she somehow manages to impress the team's owner so they just...give her the job?

Also, sidebar: Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani are in this movie, which further supports the thesis that it is terrible. The end.
