Not in Hall of Fame If it's not in the Hall of Fame, it's at Not in Hall of Fame

2023 Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame - Round 1

Ray Finkle

TV Show/Movie Appeared: Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994)
Actor/Actress: Sean Young
Position Portrayed: Place Kicker
Played For:: Washington Sentinels
Why you should vote:: His character was (to us) the most interesting in the movie.
Why you should not vote:: Kickers? In a Hall of Fame? If Canton won’t do it, why should we?
Place Kickers get no love from anybody, and when they screw up, nobody wears the goat horns higher. This brings us to Ray Finkle, who cost the Miami Dolphins the Super Bowl by missing what would have been the winning Field Goal by going “Wide Right”. His failure in the big game (which he blamed on Dan Marino, his place holder for not putting the ball, “laces out”) turned him insane; and in turn undergo a sex change which saw him/her become the Miami police Chef and orchestrate a lavish kidnapping of Marino and a dolphin who was pegged for the halftime show at the Super Bowl. Plausible? Of course not, but this is the movie that put Jim Carrey on the map, and taught us that Dan Marino should never act again.
