Have to admit that I haven't seen "Warrior" yet...and may pull the same excuse out for any other MMA-based movies that may be lurking in the bracket.

Rookie of the Year was kind of cheesy, but a decent little G-rated baseball movie in the "that shit could never really happen" genre.

^^^ Really? I thought it was a Disney after-school type of movie...I don't remember any swearing or anything else that would nudge it out of G-ville.

I have never seen either of these.  I can only go off of what I've heard, which is that Warrior was actually pretty good.

Never saw Warrior

Edited to add:  The Busey Factor is enough to get this one into the second round alone.
