CHARACTERS I LOVE — Eric Taylor
“Every man at some point in his life is gonna lose a battle. He’s gonna fight and he’s gonna lose. But what makes him a man is that in the midst of that battle, he does not lose himself.”
Eric: Matt Saracen asked your daughter to marry him.
Tami: Julie?
Eric: What are you talking about, no Gracie. Yes Julie, he came into my office today and he asked for Julie’s hand in marriage. He asked me for her hand in marriage.
Tami: Atleast he had the decency to come talk to you about it.
Eric: No he didn’t have any decency to come talk to me, cos he already talked to her and you know what your daughter said, your daughter said yes.

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..
Oh, my gosh. Way too hard x(

Good choice, guys. Good choice.
Kyle Chandler, you are an amazing actor and you deserve every award in the world. I’m glad you are being recognized.
I LOVE YOU, COACH TAYLOR.
