Actually, in the movie 'Leatherheads', the Duluth team is known as the 'Bulldogs'. And it's only loosely based on the Eskimos. The movie comes out April 4th.OJVIKE wrote:just herd they made a movie with the duluth eskimos in it we all know who they are now right??they have had 3 name changes?? name them?
In any case, George Clooney and Renee Zellweger will be in Duluth to talk about the movie. Alas, the only public appearance they will be making will be when they leave the press conference at the Depot.

The Eskimos had more than three name changes. The team was originally known as Kelley-Duluth from 1923-1925. In 1926, they became the Duluth Eskimos for two years. The team then moved to New Jersey and bacame the Orange Tornados in 1929. In 1930, they moved to Newark and became the Newark Tornados. In 1932, the team became the Boston Braves, then in 1933, they became the Boston Redskins. On February 13, 1937, the team made its final move to Washington DC. Where it remains.

You can get all the information you'd ever want in the new book 'Leatherheads of the North, the True Story of Ernie Nevers and the Duluth Eskimos', by Chuck Frederick. It's available at : http://x-communication.org/OJVIKE wrote:well i stand corrected , i only read in football digest that it went duluth eskimos,bosten braves,then bosten redskins ,because they didnt want the same name as the baseball team. then moved to washington. nice job though.

Sorry, couldn't get the URL thingy to work
All good but the original Longest Yard was pretty terrible(probably because i expected to be so much better), i liked the newer version much better, priceless ending "That's a week in the hotbox!wang_chi7 wrote:Friday Night Lights is my favorite. Remember the Titans, Rudy, Longest Yard (the original), and The Last Boy Scout would round out the top 5 (that I can think of at the moment anyways.)

BTW, George Clooney and Renee Zellweger were in Duluth on Monday to promote 'Leatherheads'. They had a press conference at the Depot, after arriving on one of the trains.
George Clooney: "I sort of know about small towns. [He grew up in a small town in Kentucky.] That's why it was important for us to come back here to say thanks for letting us play a part with this town. There's something really fun about the small [of the early NFL]. This one just seemed to have much larger, deeper roots, and I think that's why the original screenplay was written [about Duluth].
George Clooney: "We wanted to shoot it [the movie] here, but it was February. Apparently, from what I understand, it's cold here in February."
Clooney filled us in on why the team in the movie isn't called the Eskimos. The NFL wouldn't let them use the name because there's drinking in the movie. So, he decided to name the team after his pet bulldog and didn't find out until later about the UMD mascot. He then congratulated the UMD Women's hockey team on winning the National Championship.
