Lance Edward Armstrong (born Lance Edward Gunderson on September 18, 1971) is an American former professional road racing cyclist who is best known for winning the Tour de France a record seven consecutive times, after having survived testicular cancer. He is also the founder and chairman of the Lance Armstrong Foundation for cancer research and support. He last rode for (and helped found) UCI ProTeam Team RadioShack.
In October 1996 he was diagnosed as having testicular cancer, with a tumor that had metastasized to his brain and lungs. His cancer treatments included brain and testicular surgery and extensive chemotherapy, and his prognosis was originally poor. He went on to win the Tour de France each year from 1999 to 2005, and is the only person to win seven times, having broken the previous record of five wins, shared by Miguel Indurain, Bernard Hinault, Eddy Merckx, and Jacques Anquetil.
In 1999, he was named the ABC Wide World of Sports Athlete of the Year. In 2000 he won the Prince of Asturias Award in Sports. In 2002, Sports Illustrated magazine named him Sportsman of the Year. He was also named Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year for the years 2002–2005. He received ESPN's ESPY Award for Best Male Athlete in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006, and won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Overseas Personality Award in 2003. Armstrong announced his retirement from racing on July 24, 2005, at the end of the 2005 Tour de France, but returned to competitive cycling in January 2009, and finished third in the 2009 Tour de France. He confirmed he had retired from competitive cycling for good on February 16, 2011.

When Pete Carroll took over the football program at USC after the 2000 season, the once-great Trojans were under siege. But thanks to his football knowledge, upbeat personality and recruiting skills, Southern Cal was soon back atop the college football world as home attendance skyrocketed, Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush won Heismans and the Trojans put together a 34-game winning streak. As it would be later discovered, though, the program was committing sins that would result in lost scholarships, victories and one of those Heismans. But those revelations didn’t come until after the national championship game in the 2006 Rose Bowl between USC and the University of Texas. Featuring interviews with Carroll, Leinart and others inside the USC program at the time, “Trojan War” looks at Carroll’s nine-year USC reign through the prism of that game, considered one of the greatest in college football history. It was also the beginning of the end.

낡고 초라하지만, 가진 것 없는 회원들에게는 최고의 휴식처 같은 ‘애버리지 조 체육관’이 폐쇄 위기에 처한다. 맞은편에 들어선 글로보 피트니스 센터의 사장인 화이트 굿맨(벤 스틸러 분)이 체육관을 허물고 회원전용 주차타워를 짓기로 한 것이다. 체육관 주인 피터(빈스 본 분)는 한달 안에 대출금 5만 달러를 갚지 못하면 체육관을 화이트에게 넘겨야 하는 상황. 도저히 돈을 구할 방법이 없어 자포자기한 그에게 회원 중의 한명이 우승 상금 5만 달러가 걸린 피구 대회에 참가하자고 제안한다. 피구를 애들 장난쯤으로 생각한 피터는 코웃음을 치지만, 다른 회원들의 간청에 못 이겨 대회 참가를 결정한다. ‘애버리지 조’팀은 지역 예선에서 걸스카웃 팀에게 처참하게 깨지지만, 상대팀이 약물 복용으로 실격하는 바람에 어부지리로 본선 진출권을 따낸다. 그때 그들의 실력을 지켜보던 한 남자가 코치를 자청하고 나선다. 그는 바로 ‘피구의 제왕’으로 통했던 전설적인 피구 스타 패치스. 이제 애버리지 조 팀은 패치스의 지도 아래 지옥 훈련을 시작한다. 한편, 피터 일행이 피구 대회에 참가한다는 첩보를 입수한 굿맨은 고춧가루 뿌리기에 나서 최강의 멤버들로 퍼플 코브라 팀을 구성한다. 굿맨의 팀은 승승장구를 거듭하여 결승에 진출하고, 그의 바람대로 애버리지 조를 최후의 상대로 맞이하게 된다. 결승전이 벌어지기 전날, 피터와 라이벌 관계에 있던 굿맨은 그의 자존심을 짓밟을 음모를 꾸민다. 현금 10만 달러를 들고 피터를 찾은 그는 돈을 받는 대신 결승전을 포기하라고 제안한다. 이에 피터는 돈을 받고 짐을 챙겨 떠나는데…
