Hilarious as always, Nostalgia Critic.
The montage set to "Eye of the Tiger" had me especially crying with laughter. When I saw the Cheerio's box, I had a feeling you would make a callback to Cheerios 2. And you did! And I laughed even harder.

I remember watching Rookie of the Year as a kid. I don't remember much of it, apart from the fact that it was directed by Daniel "Marv from Home Alone" Stern. How interesting is that? I'm surprised he could direct with all those bricks and irons to the forehead.
One film I'm surprised you missed is Ed, which features Matt Le Blanc moving up the baseball ranks... with a monkey. I'm dead serious. Also, in the memorable quotes section, Le Blanc actually says, "I am going to spank that monkey!" Speechless.

I totally agree. The only exceptionally good children's sport movie I've seen was The Sandlot, that is, the original, not the sequels. Mighty Ducks was mediocre, Air Bud was lame, Angels in the Outfield was lame, and I have yet to see The Karate Kid, Cool Runnings, and Little Giants. But The Sandlot was awesome, an instant classic.

This one had some great jokes. The Cheerios in-joke, for example, was quite welcome and that one about the Cubs was priceless.
It's great to see that you're shaking up the format a bit. It's not like any of your other reviews and it's definitely not like any of your Top 11 lists, but it's still very much a NC production.
So why is it, when you're doing so many things differently, that you keep starting your reviews with "You know..."? That really bugs me. Space Jam started that way, the Theme Song countdown started that way... it just seems like such a terrible segue into the routine proper.
That said, I think you did a great job of reviewing several movies that were only linked by genre. You should take this approach to a series of movies. Might I suggest the Muppets?

Really?! Well, do yourself a favor and watch it right now: regardless of the intentionally funny training techiques, I think it's one of the best movies ever made (if you loved the first Rocky, just know it's from the same director). Nostalgia Critic put it in this montage but I don't think it's in the same league, I wouldn't even call it a "sports movie". Great dialogue, great casting, stunning cinematography, wonderful music by Bill Conti.

Yeah, he missed a couple, understandably. There's so damn many cliches. Like the coach that seems to have no business coaching and/or is greatly criticized. He tends to go up against the well established coach with a lot of experience.

You've nailed one of my biggest pet peeves of the film industry. Even being a small child in the 90's, I still questioned why anyone could even watch ridiculous movies like Air Bud, or Most Valuable Primate. Who ever thought that a movie about a monkey playing hockey was a good idea, even if it was targeted at young children?
But anyway, this was a very entertaining. I love how you change the format of your videos over time, so it doesn't seem recycled.
