If you’ve never seen the television series Friday Night Lights, then close your browser, take a sick day, and go home to spend some much needed time with your neglected Netflix account. Also, if you’ve never seen it, be warned because there will be some spoilers here to follow. The show, though light in actual football, will hook you with its nonstop drama (steroids, pregnancy, and booze, oh my!) and incredible cast of characters (sup Lyla Garrity). One of the protagonists driving the show is the famed Coach Eric Taylor. He is a father, husband, mentor, and legendary ball coach from Dillon, Texas who wrestles with the petty politics of his fanatic west Texas town and teaches misguided boys to be responsible young men.
