I absolutely love the show because these guys are all dumbasses and I see the entertainment value. It's also a concern for those same reasons.

I will admit that I watched the whole first season. There should be a day coming up now that they're 3-4 episodes in where they show all of the back-to-back. Against my better judgement, I'll probably use that to catch up on this season. Rsmith's post goes with why I watch...

Youth football coaches in Texas yelling at kids? Thats cute...
We had a kid, 9th grader, playing little league football. He was 6'3", 205, started on the High School varsity BB team once his little league football season was done. Another kid we called "shoes," since he told us the reason he didn't play in HS was that he got a pair of Jordans after every youth game he played in. That was 3 years ago, both of those kids are still in HS, playing for other schools, because we "didn't have enough to offer"
I'm just stirring the pot. I watched season 1 of FNT, some of the programs looked to be fairly well run. As someone said earlier, sound technique drills and quality coaching makes for boring TV. The best thing we can do is to keep being good ambassadors for our sport.

i broke down and binge watched 6 episodes without fail EACH episode was just putting the EPIC FAIL cliffhanger out there Trains have airbags?!?!?! ///BREAK/// I have watched a few episodes and it is WAY more about the drama than the sport. The crappy part is some parents will watch it and think, "that's the way it is." One episode I watched made me cringe.... If I swore at my varsity players like that coach swore at those young kids...I'd be fired!! So many things to say...few of them positive....*****silence****** |

Watched the other night and a couple of random thoughts:
1. At one point they were practicing in a public park while people were doing park stuff around them. A coach started screaming at a kid. In the background you could see a dad and son playing soccer. They stopped and were watched the dressing-down. Think that kid's ever playing football? Think the moms jogging and such are eager to let their kids play?
2. The Outlaws have joined a travel league. A parent said that she liked it because the kids would get more exposure. What the hell does a 12 year old need exposure for?
3. If, like me, you've watched the first two seasons it is kind of fun watching the Outlaws getting their a$$es handed to them.
4. The coaches really do suck.

Being a small state coach I've got to laugh at what is supposed to be the best youth football league in Texas. Position skills are awful. Tackling is awful. Play design is awful. I cant think of anything they do well rather than infighting between coaches.

Love the last line. 'If college coaches saw you play now all you would get is exposed not exposure.' |

I've only seen a couple episodes but so far the Steel Country version seems much better...although if that's what Brophy's screenshots come from, maybe I just haven't made it to the "good stuff" yet...

Saw something that should be a warning to all parents who want to coach. Parents create a team for their son. He is a good QB dont get me wrong. Dad is just focused on his son. Everything is Xs and Os and QB. Watch that team play and their line cant block. They aren't even getting set. They are standing straight up ball is snapped and they try bump the defender with their shoulder. Now helicopter coach/parent's son has to run around the field running for his life. Its funny but even more sad because the kid is actually really talented but his father and mother are conceited dumbasses.
