The Champions movie

 So, earlier this year when I went with my mom to see A Man Called Otto staring Tom Hanks, I saw this preview for a movie that takes place in the very state I'm from: Iowa!

For a while after that, and after we taped it when it was on tv, I would want to watch it over and over and over again. Part of the reason I'd watch it over and over again was because I had a crush on the actors who played Charlie Conway and Adam Banks. I thought they were so cute looking at the time. And because I thought Charlie was one of the nicer kids of the bunch. Anyways, you know that scene where McGil knocks Adam Banks out in the first movie, and then that Larson kid came to see if he was even Okay, and then stayed with him until the paramedics came to get Banks off the ice? I get it's just a movie but if I was him, after McGil said to him, "My Job". I would have been like, "McGil, You COULD HAVE KILLED HIM!!! I AM DONE WITH YOU AS A FRIEND, I'...
