Show Me The Answer!

[Roman Snow]

Maybe the moderators can link these two threads. (I couldn't wait until tomorrow.) In answer to the poll: Who was the current Ram that was partial inspiration for the movie line from Jerry Maguire?


TJ McDonald!

You see, in 1996 when writer/director Cameron Crowe was doing his research for the movie, Crowe was following Arizona Cardinal Defensive back Tim McDonald around, according to an article in the Toronto Sun,
"He was actually at an owners meeting to be paraded through the lobby to get his price up, because he was a free agent," Crowe said, "He said, I've got a wife and I've got kids ( Including five-year-old TJ ) and I've been beaten up for five years here in Phoenix, and now I'm a free agent. Show me the money."

And so, a classic movie line was born. and now it is Tim Jr. having his day. He is one of my favorite players on our defense. I look for him to put all his legal troubles behind him and have a great year, playing once again in his old stomping grounds in the LA Colliseum.

And next year? When his contract is up? With his wife and kids in mind, the apple may not fall far from the tree, as some Hollywood director just might overhear TJ say....

"Show me the money!"

 

[Roman Snow]

So how many of you guessed TJ?

What does the J stand for I could not find it and when I seen TJ i assumed it was our TJ and not his dad Tim?

My understanding is it is just Tim Jr. Thus "TJ" is what he went by.

 

[KNUCKLEHEAD]

I guessed Fisher because I had absolutely no clue!

Ain't it the truth?

I thought you were talking about his dad Tim Sr but now I see what you did.
"He said, I've got a wife and I've got kids ( Including five-year-old TJ ) and I've been beaten up for five years here in Phoenix, and now I'm a free agent. Show me the money."
So Dad Tim said I got kids and one of those kids was TJ! :rimshot:

 

[Dodgersrf]

Great question.
One of my favorite movies.

Oh sorry if that was confusing. :cheers:

Now if I caught on... well, I ain't sayin', I'm just sayin'.

 

[Roman Snow]

Now if I caught on... well, I ain't sayin', I'm just sayin'.

Maybe I can change my screen name to Knucklehead II ?

:argue: The sequel is never as good as the original.
:argue:I thought it was "the movie is not as good as the book."
:argue:Yeah well, let's just call them both knuckleheads and call it a day!

It would've had to have been 1993, he was a free agent then.

TJs dad was a dirty Niner in 96. In the infamous SOSAR video he's one of the players laughing it up.

The article said '96. That may have been when it was written. I didn't verify the years. So TJ was only 2?

 

[Wolfecola]

Wasn't he also the dude who came up with SOSAR?

Oh cool. Thanks Selassie I

Edit: I see you were the first winner listed! Would you like your full body rub down from our moderators, or a box of ice cream sandwiches?

All kidding aside, did you know the story?

Yes, I had already heard that cool story. Thanks for posting it.

Guess I'll just have to go ahead and treat MYSELF to a full body massage.
