We were already a little skeptical about a movie called “Unitas We Stand,” because, even as movie titles go, it makes no sense and is lame. But apparently we’re not the only ones who aren’t pumped for the Johnny Unitas biopic: a good chunk of the family is outraged that Joe Flacco, Super Bowl champion and not-actor, will take on the role (for just a few scenes, mind you) and they’re letting the world know.

First he wins a Super Bowl. Then he signs a 6-year, $120 million deal. Now he’s playing Johnny Unitas in final scenes of an upcoming biopic, based on the book “Johnny U: The Life and Times of Johnny Unitas” by Tom Callahan. Don’t give him the Oscar just yet, you haven’t heard what it’s called. (Hint: It’s a terrible pun)

Prized trade acquisition Andrew Bynum is out indefinitely and has thus far been a non-factor for the Philadelphia 76ers. Though his and the team’s future seems bright, the immediate climate is not so pleasant. Mostly because Bynum is out and about on the town, getting himself injured and contributing absolutely nothing to the 76ers.

So maybe it’s just the epic orchestral score that sends chills down your spine, but we’re excited anyway. Harrison Ford will plays Branch Rickey, the man who signed Jackie Robinson to a minor league contract that eventually paved the way for him to break the color barrier in Major League Baseball, and Robinson’s character is played by Chadwick Boseman.

Just in case you haven’t had enough of the Penn State scandal (note: you haven’t), you’ll soon be able to see it in movie form (hopefully). According to Deadline, a movie is in the works about Joe Paterno and Joe Posnanski’s recent book, Paterno.

I loved Space Jam. Absolutely loved it. I was also six-years-old and thought Michael Jordan had a knack for baseball. It was a shitty movie. The low point of several NBA legends. The low point of the Looney Tunes. The low point of sport cinema. So obviously, LeBron James wishes he could make a sequel, starring himself. Read more after the jump.

Alright guys, it’s done. Show’s over. Time to go home. Seems like the folks up in Bristol have finally given up.

Of course it would be Gary Oldman — a man underappreciated for his fine character work — telling NBA players to cut it out. Much as he, Gary Oldman, sucks at basketball, you, NBA players, suck at acting. Let him explain.

Welcome to “Staff Picks,” a segment where we bring you the most impactful plays, memorable characters, or surreal TV and radio moments from our collective sports-clogged consciousness.

New York’s Vulture section passes along a terrific nugget from Screen Junkies: a montage of some of the best sports movie/TV show pep talks ever given. Video – and us trying to rectify a major omission – after the jump.
