The ending to Friday Night Lights season two was a cliffhanger for all the wrong reasons. First off, the cliff was more like a ledge—a ledge that only dropped down three or four feet. Considering that the episode was not originally intended as a season finale (the writer’s strike made it one), I can understand [...]

Poor Smash. He was trying to do good by his interracial relationship, but little did he know that small, hick towns simply cannot deal with such forward thinking. This is why knock-off Dairy Queen does so well there. In a fair and just world, Smash would get to keep his scholarship and keep his girlfriend, [...]

Going to the dark side has been a lot easier than I thought. With my decision to cheat my way to the top of my fantasy basketball league, I figured I would be wracked with sleepless nights and flooded with feelings of guilt and remorse. I’m not. In fact, ever since I crossed the fine [...]

The day that “Friday Night Lights: the football show” becomes “Tuesday Night Gym: the volleyball show” is the day that I will no longer watch television. Unfortunately, after this week’s FNL episode, I am one week closer to that fate. Friday Night Lights has never been about the football. I found this out the hard [...]

“Want to see my quizzing trophies?” I fully expected to hear this line from the new Christian radio guy as he was listening to Lyla’s tell-all in the church sanctuary. Or maybe I was just hoping to hear it, considering I had spent a good portion of high school banking on the fact that quizzing [...]

In last week’s episode, Coach Taylor’s advice to Smash Williams was just another example of how great his parenting skills are.  It also got me to thinking:  how would all the fathers on Friday Night Lights rank?  Well, it’s a good thing I have time on my hands, because here is the list I came [...]

I just got done watching the greatest Friday Night Lights episode of season two, and I finally feel that my faith is restored in the show. Throughout the first several episodes of the second season, things were going slowly and awkwardly, the storylines were boring and artificial, and I couldn’t really root for any of [...]

Cheaters never win, and winners never cheat. And although it took 15 weeks for this truth to sort itself out, the fantasy football gods finally got it right. Kevan Lee: champion! B Squared: Loser. The final score was 194-116, a glorious, wonderful, predestined 194 to a spiteful, evil, unbecoming 116. The big result says just [...]

The fantasy matchup to end all fantasy matchups almost didn’t happen. For the whole year, the two best teams in my league have been B Squared and myself. Regular readers of this website as well as anyone who has seen my most recent temporary tattoo know that the Squares and I are mortal enemies. He [...]
