Arnett and the Actor that played Pepperfield stole every scene. The russian roulette scene with the gun was worth my $9. Ferrell said this is his last sports movie.

I bet he takes a break for a bit, in an article for EW it came across to me as that he is enjoying it but realizes its running thin. (His shtick)

Dear gods, I hope so.

That would be nice. His shtick isn't limited to sports movies, though - he trots it out in any genre.

Saw the movie on opening day - absoutely loved it. Not as good as Anchorman, but still worth seeing again. As far as the teams go, 5 teams made an appearance in-game: the Indiana Pacers, Anaheim Amigos, Pittsburgh Condors, New Jersey Nets, and San Antonio Spurs. A few of the other ABA teams were mentioned but not shown.

I know it's a FICTIONAL movie (there was never any "Flint Tropics"), but having the Anaheim Amigos and Pittsburgh Condors playing in '76 is anachronistic-- by then, the Amigos were the Utah Stars, after having been the Los Angles Stars for a few years, and the Pittsburgh Condors folded in '72....

It is what it is.

To be honest the Stars weren't playing in 1976 either....having folded in December 1975 IIRC.
