Top Ten Movies About Football - Quarterback Edition

#4 - Levander 'Bird' Williams - "Wildcats"

What can you say about a guy who goes from trafficking stolen goods to leading a team? Exactly the same thing, a natural born leader. Bird didn't need to stay in school and get educated. The only education he needed was in fencing TVs and like most all great athletes, they are not on the field. Enter Coach Molly McGrath. The women, with football in her blood, who is responsible for the successful recruiting and acquisition on Bird's talents. Everybody knew deep down inside that Bird wanted to play, he went to practice everyday with his ladies. I guess criminals do need time to relax and watching practice was the way Bird went about doing that. Anyway, Bird works out a deal with coach that does more than get him on the field, it also helps him avoid 5-10 in County. Bird was a natural QB, good arm, fairly accurate with his throws and solid speed. Exactly the dual threat the Wildcats needed to get on track and make that playoff run. A real game-changer in my book.

Marvel: Fuck you!
Molly McGrath: Fuck you what?
Marvel: Fuck you... Coach McGrath.
