The Lefty Specialists are finally back, with the beginning of a deep dive into the Friday Night Lights extended universe. In the first part of a three-part series, John and James look at Buzz Bissinger’s book, and explore some of the themes that would eventually get forgotten as the story went from the page to the big screen to the small screen — specifically racism, Reaganomics, and class conflict. What is the real message of the Friday Night Lights story? And how is it really remembered in 2025?
