Top Ten Movies About Football - Quarterback Edition

#7 - Ronnie "Sunshine" Bass - "Remember the Titans"

I know what you are thinking. Sunshine? How the hell did Sunshine make the list? Guys a fruit from California. He kissed Bertier on the lips then punked him out while Gerry was trying to kick his ass. Still can't figure that one out. But anyway, Sunshine can ball. He can run, he can throw and he can lay down the blocks you need when you need them. Sure, he didn't have the confidence to make that pitch on the option, but he got better. I mean this kid walked into a team that was racially divided. A team that was struggling to unite so that they could achieve something together. And Sunshine just rolled in, didn't judge anyone, didn't see color, just saw teammates and a chance to play ball. He was a natural leader, disciplined and he was tough. He did grow up in a military household. His father was a Colonel.
