Grantland has put together an oral history of Friday Night Lights (which is having its second series finale tonight). I have just introduced my wife to the show and am very much loving rewatching the first season.
Reiner: At the end of the third season, we thought it was over. That last shot of Connie and Kyle on the football field. I was convinced it was over. I thought, “This is a great way to end this show.”

Bill Maher to America: The NFL is socialism.
That’s why the NFL runs itself in a way that would fit nicely on Glenn Beck’s chalkboard - they literally share the wealth, through salary caps and revenue sharing - TV is their biggest source of revenue, and they put all of it in a big commie pot and split it 32 ways. Because they don’t want anyone to fall too far behind. That’s why the team that wins the Super Bowl picks last in the next draft. Or what the Republicans would call “punishing success.”
Deadspin takes a look at the unusual (compared to the NFL) rules in the CFL that allowed this mostly ridiculous ending to last weekend’s Montreal-Toronto game to happen.
Does this make the CFL game lesser? There’s no real arguing that the talent level isn’t really comparable to the NFL, but I actually prefer many of the CFL rules. (Though admittedly, one of the ones I don’t like is the single point.)
