When it comes to sports movies or TV shows, inspirational speeches are a time-honored tradition. Thanks to the majesty that is Kyle Chandler, Eric Taylor’s conversations with his team were more than just a pre-game formality -- they were a work of art. He “clear eyes, full hearts”-ed his way into our hearts over five seasons on Friday Night Lightsa...
Wife, mother, guidance counselor, principal and white wine aficionado, she was everything the wife of a Texas high school football coach would have to be -- but she was so much more, y’all. If Coach Taylor was the soul of Friday Night Lights, then Mrs. Coach was the undisputed heart. Fiercely loyal and devoted to doing what was right, she stood her...
Tim Riggins was probably the dreamiest alcoholic high school football player-turned-felon ever to grace our television screens. As a character that started out as the pinnacle of a self-absorbed football star, he transformed into a selfless brother and incredible friend to those who needed him most. For five years, Taylor Kitsch did a positively ba...
Oh, Lance -- er, Landry. He was so nice. He tried so hard. Yet time and again, he found his affections largely unrequited and his efforts as an athlete to be lackluster. He wasn’t quite Dillon material -- a little too weird, a little too nerdy to really fit in. In the hands of a lesser actor, Landry Clarke would have likely faded into the backdrop ...

The Dillon Panthers’ most spirited cheerleader had to learn a lot about life before she found herself.

Smash’s arrogance could be a bit of a turn-off, but it was never unwarranted. An undisputed star of the Dillon Panthers’ varsity squad, he was cocky about his abilities on and off the field -- but he worked damn hard to make sure he stayed on top, too. He also made everyone cry in his final episode, celebrating with his beloved mama and his former ...
Aimee Teegarden had big shoes to fill on Friday Night Lights, playing both the child of two of TV’s greatest parents ever, but the love interest of the one and only Matt Saracen.

Look, Friday Night Lightshad a lot of tragic moments, but seeing Jason Street’s future as a football star wiped away by one freak hit on the field was on another level.
