If you're going to bring that movie up, this is the better scene:
"You cut him. You hurt him. You see, he's not a machine. He's a man!"

Re: OT: Best scene in a sports movie
Some stray scenes that come to mind.
1. From "Bull Durham," learning your cliches.
2. From "He Got Game," 1 on 1
3. From "Jerry Maguire," Show me the Money
4. From "The Gambler," the good movie not the terrible remake, a fixed game.

You're both wrong. Best scene(s) from Rocky IV:

So many scenes from Raging Bull, but its this for me:
0:49 to 1:54 is one of the greatest shot scenes in film history. Haunting.

Re: OT: Best scene in a sports movie
One of my favorite sports movie scenes is from North Dallas Forty, featuring John Matuszak (former NFL first overall draft pick and two time Super Bowl champion) because it captures that nexus between play and work, game and business.
Key lines:
"Job! I don't want no f*cking job! I want to play football, you a**hole!"
"Every time I call it a game, you call it a business. And every time I call it a business, you call it a game."

Just because it happened to you, doesn't make it interesting.

There are better movies but this scene is just so attention grabbing, if this movie was on in a background I would stop to watch this part.

TO this day the best scene in any sports movie for me. The music the characters. Fantastic.
Don't mean to take this too far OT, but I've always found it crazy how Mark Wahlberg's horrible racist past has managed to be forgotten. He did some horrible, horrible things, but most people don't even know about it.
