We ran… it’s like we ran for our lives, didn’t we? It was like we were escaping from prison, wasn’t it?

Coach: I have no idea what’s going to happen tomorrow, Babe.
Tami: Well… you’re gonna win… or you’re gonna lose. Either way the sun’s still gonna come up tomorrow morning.

Everything… New Tami and Eric Video by 77flipster on YouTube
Eric and Tami Taylor with Gracie Belle… Friday Night Lights, Season 2
*** Deleted scenes I want to see!
Friday Night Lights:
The final season of this NBC gem was certainly drenched in sentiment, but it continued to host the best cast of younger actors to be found in one place, while Connie Britton and Kyle Chandler continued to place the most genuinely loving married couple since Clair and Cliff Huxtable. It will be hard to find a new place that pays such tribute to the virtues of home and community.
Could there be more perfect parents—nay, people—than Coach Eric Taylor and his beautiful, intelligent wife, Tami? The patriarch and matriarch of Friday Night Lights are ideal: strict but loving, attentive but not smothering. Hell, even when they argue, they argue awesome. And with incredibly busy schedules, you’d think they’d barely have time for their daughter Julie’s bratty antics, but Coach and Tami find the time to essentially parent all of Dillon. From the obvious, like football players who have rough lives at home, to the less so—who needs a mom and dad more than Buddy Garity?—Coach and Tami are available to help pretty much everybody, with tough-but-fair advice that can be appreciated both by liberals (help each other!) and conservatives. (Pull yourself up by your bootstraps!)

Eric and Tami (FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS)
Tami: Hi y’all, I’m here to talk to you a little bit about Coach Eric Taylor, and you all know him as your leader, your kind of father figure, hard ass guy screaming at ya from the sidelines, but there’s a whole other kind of Eric Taylor that I know that maybe y’all don’t know and I’d just like to share that with you a little bit so let me start with what I’ve learned from him as a human being. I mean, what he has brought to me as a person…the Power I, the nickel defense, the 3-4, the 4-3, and of course the spread formation. The ways I have grown since I have been with this man could fill a stadium! Then there’s Eric Taylor the family man. We have wonderful Sunday mornings together…watching game film. Saturday afternoons with our daughter, watching game film. Oh, and then Taylor Tuesday where we’ll have a pizza delivered and play Scrabble and then watch some game film. I want to tell you all, he’s a very busy man, y’all keep him very very busy, but he is also a sensitive and caring husband, and he will take me out for quiet, romantic evenings, just the two of us, and we’ll commonly be heard shouting things like “Pick up the blitz!” or “Hit and drive!” and my favorite “Go for two!” Seriously, Eric Taylor is a kind and decent man and he’s strong, and he has vision, and he’s passionate, and he’s real good at impartin’ that passion into the hearts of the people around him, and he loves y’all kids. Every single one of y’all..
