JOTS Contest - Winner

The Longest Yard
After weighing the suggestions given, the winner - based on the longevity of the film and it's relevance even after 25+ years in regards to sports films is ajl917 who suggested The Longest Yard. Even for those who have never seen the film the infamous "Mean Machine" title is probably familiar. The theme of prisoners versus guards in a form of sport has been oft repeated. The film has spawned a recent remake with Adam Sandler, as well as a British version (called "Mean Machine", starring Vinnie Jones and using the other football), and if you want to make the stretch the fim Lock Up, with Sylvester Stalone, is pretty much a direct copy.

Congratulations ajl917, if you want to contact me via the site you'll receive a custom jersey of your choice for the database. Look for the Longest Yard jerseys to be added shortly.
