Paul Newman, Oscar-winning actor and all-around good guy, died this morning of cancer. There are worse ways to spend a rainy afternoon than watching The Sting, or Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, or Hud, or Cool Hand Luke. And may I take this opportunity to promote the best sports movie ever made — Slap Shot. It’s funny, and surprisingly raunchy, and features the ridiculous Hanson Brothers who I think were real people. And you do not have to care about hockey. (Hanson Brothers vid after jump.)

I’ve heard the hockey team featured in Slap Shot was inspired by the old New Haven Blades.
