Yeah, this was supposed to subvert Sports Movie cliches, yeah it was a parody of the "loser-turned-winner" attitude in those Hollywood movies, we get it. The problem is this episode was just not that funny, simple as that. Reversing a cliche isn't inherently funny, you have to do something interesting and witty with it. There were no strong jokes and this episode felt like an over-the-top soap opera honestly.
