I thought it was Brian's Song. Though to be totally honest I haven't seen either one.
Also Old Yeller - sure it's not YOUR dog but still, he dies, right?

I cried after Georges Niang's farewell speech. I guess I'm not a real man.
Kid is going to be great, but in the end I disagree with them being the same position. John Waggoner will play the SDE (JD Waggoner, no relation). McDonald will be on the J. Baily position....
You need to see Brian's song. You'll be a blubbering idiot by the end of it.
Coach George Halas: Brian Piccolo died of cancer at the age of 26. He left a wife and three daughters. He also left a great many loving friends who miss and think of him often. But when they think of him, it's not how he died that they remember - but how he lived. How he did live!
I'm crying just copying and pasting that.
I remember when it was on TV as the Movie of the Week or whatever they called those made for TV movies then. I just was not a sports fan at the time. Mostly I remember everyone (the boys anyway) talking about it the next day in school, so it made a big splash.
I did see the King of Queens take-off on it and yeah, I've seen that quote too.
I agree. I thought the character was a bit sad and ridiculous.It sucks except as a sport cliche to use in sports forums.
I watched and was not inspired, I just thought sad idiot.
Put me down for Field of Dreams. Crushes me every time. Plus it is set in Iowa so we are all contractually obligated to cry.
Not sure if just more "quiet" than "cooled"....HC of EICC at Dowling today to see Mr. Waggoner.
I’d love to have him here!
I didn't cry at the end of Marley and Me, just had really bad allergies.
That movie only got me crying the first 20 times I saw it ... ("C'mon, Pic. I KNOW you can beat this thing." Never worked).
Now I'm crying again. OK. Not totally bawling, but my eyes are watering up.
I love Brian Piccolo. And I'd like all of you to love him too. And so tonight, when you hit your knees, please ask God to love him.

As long as we're on the subject of "movies that made a grown man cry"... was I the only one who shed a tear at the end of Friday Night Lights when Mike Winchell came up just a yard short in the state championship?
Son (an AVID football fan) was at UNI when the real Rudy came to give a "motivational" speech. He said it was rambling, disjointed, and self-serving. Those were the nicer things he said about it.
