seriously this is some kinda big misdirected daddy-love-me thing here.
him going to practice (where dsnt play) is to make dad proud?

I can't keep driving you to this humiliation, it isn't good for you.
-you're up anyway, I'm doing you a favor.
-now that was just mean, Matt. that wasnt nice.
ok so these two guys I like are Matt - 'the unassuming second-string quarterback who we know will get called upon later in the episode' - and a friend..who's the friend?

Friday Night Lights recaplet
We meet the football players, most living in various states of disarray in shadowy ranch houses pretty filming ~ uh oh maybe I love this - lovely opening, pretty music or cramped A-frames with grandmothers Matt made 2 tuna sandwhiches for Grandma, she says But I only want one and you made two, he says I'll eat the other one when I get home, she smiles You'll be hungry after that good practice, he agress, she says You -- I adore. her foot is tapping or older brothers drunk guy's older brother is trying to get him up, says they will kick him off the team. he tells his brother I'm twice the player you ever were. Jason Street, the golden boy quarterback, is the best the Notre Dame scout has seen in twenty-five years yep - 27 he says I think. and coach says He's a good boy. ~feel blessed to spend first year w a young man who's got the talent and the moral strength this young man right here has ; Tim Riggins, a young drunk, has dead eyes but a joyfully violent presence on the field; Smash Williams, the fast-talking African-American running back, gives the whites what they want (big smiles, sassy attitude), hoping to take what he can get from them Tim says that's not racism I just don't like him. that dude could be Santa Claus and I still wouldn't like him; and Matt Saracen, the unassuming second-string quarterback who we know will get called upon later in the episode. We also meet the girls, the coltish town bad girl Tyra Collette; the upper-class cheerleader Lyla Garrity, Street's girlfriend who will be tested when the golden boy tarnishes; and the coach's daughter, the bookish Julie Taylor, who can extend a metaphor with the best of them. Add the restrained and anxious coach Kyle Taylor, his wife Tami, who's game for it all, and a whole town full of drawling close-talkers wearing Texas hospitality on their sleeve while hiding knives in their pockets, and you've got the ensemble.

two parts in, of five parts online and I am seeing what TomShales says about the jumpy camera, so not all of the filming is as nice to me as the opening...
Matt's friend keeps up his schtick, though, and I keep up liking it. he's funny.
I'm missing lines, though, so I'll enjoy reading the recap.
