It's Matt Saracen

Speaking of Friday Night Lights, according to EW Zach Gilford is in the new Taylor Swift video for her song "Ours."  It's been a very exciting week for Gilford who also recently announced his engagement.  We're still having a difficult time excepting that Matt and Julie aren't getting married, but congrats!

Roles for Riggins

We two crayons are HUGE fans of Friday Night Lights and as such, we obviously are very protective of the cast.   We are super excited to see Tim Riggins (Taylor Kitsch) making the late night rounds in support of his new movie John Carter, we’re just not quite as excited to see the movie.  And Battleship isn’t looking so hot either.  So here are a few ideas we have for Riggins next movie roll, none of which involve aliens. 

False Start

Tim plays some fancy finance guy who gets laid off from his big hedge fund job and is living so beyond his means he is forced to move home, which is some fancy suburb in like, Connecticut.  His dad owns some company but Timmy doesn’t want to work for him and wants to find his own way – so he goes to work at the prep school he went to as their football coach/Science teacher. We get Timmy back on the football field and then he can fall in love with some teacher he knew when he was growing up but they were only friends, Rachel McAdams perhaps.  It’s Riggins, Football and kids.

Encroachment

Riggins stars as a small town veterinarian who spent his entire life in Happy Valley Goose Bay.  In his free time, he even coaches pee wee football.  Life in Happy Valley Goose Bay is like a Norman Rockwell painting until a big city gal comes to town to help build a Super Walmart.  With the megachain comes big concern about the town’s economic health. And right before Christmas no less.  No surprise Riggins falls for the glitzy gal and conflict abounds.  It’s Riggins, Football and Puppies.

Through My Eyes

The true story of quarterback Tim Tebow’s incredible determination to become an NFL quarterback.  Follow Tebow as he overcomes a difficult birth in the Philippines to become a standout quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner at the University of Florida and then a starter for the Denver Broncos.  It’s Riggins, Football and Faith.
