The characters can be players, managers, sportswriters, agents or even fans, but sports have to be central to the show (sorry, Sam Malone).
2 MINUTE COMEDIC MONOLOGUES FOR WOMEN FROM PLAYS PROFESSIONAL
From 1978, when CBS’ The White Shadow assembled one of the first network dramas with a mostly black cast, to the recent debut of Apple TV+’s dramedy Ted Lasso about an American football coach hired to lead a Premier League soccer club, TV producers have found fertile ground in the world of sports for their dramas and comedies.įor our list of the best sports TV shows of all time, we’re looking at scripted series (so no 30 for 30 or the compelling Last Chance U) primarily revolving around a sport, and there are plenty represented here: football, soccer, baseball, martial arts, tennis, horse racing and professional wrestling. When just about every professional sports league on earth followed suit and I could no longer watch my beloved Atlanta United or Manchester City, I found myself turning to Netflix’s The English Game for comfort. People who printed this monologue also printed.It says a lot about our relationship with sports that the cancellation of the NBA season in 2020 was the first big signal that the COVID-19 pandemic was going to be unlike anything we’d seen before. Not in the heavens, not in our minds, not in our stories or even our words. Here I am, with the voice of a poet and words that make men gods, but there are no more gods. Were Todd wiped out in a missile attack, he would be the first to argue that his country had engaged in unprovoked, aggressive military tactics against third-world countries to exploit them for natural resources. There's no telling which city deserves to triumph over another in the tales from today. Now I say things like, "Todd was a man who spent his days brooding before a screen, then wondered where the day had gone." There's very little heroism left in the world, and where there is, it is marred by moral ambiguity. I said things like, "Oh fate, the venom of thy barbéd tongue numbs all men to the bite." I myself told of battles that drained the seas and shook the land, of men whose helmets gleamed like suns, men who stood like mountains. We told tales of highest tragedy and darkest drama. I was part of a Greek chorus once, you know. He doesn't believe in God, but deep down he imagines there's an omniscient being somewhere watching him, keeping track and deeply fascinated. He imagines all of the days of his life at work combining into a montage, a meaningless blur. He hums theme music when driving fast cars around curves in the road. He gets embarrassed when he plays the guitar badly, alone. There is never a time when he doesn't feel evaluated, catalogued. He imagines his life playing out like the plot of a film. Watch closely the man who always assumes he's being observed. The NARRATOR, a dry soft-spoken type, is watching TODD walk down the sidewalk.
