5 Shows For Football Fans on Netflix
Netflix

Football games only come on four days during the week so you have to have other options when the games go off. Netflix is home to some great shows that include the game of football for you to watch when there aren't any lives games on.

Here are five options below.

The League

If you play fantasy football you'll love this show as just as much as love your own fantasy team. It's about a group of friends who've known each other since high school competing in their own league for a trophy they call the "Shiva".

A plus to the show is that actual NFL players make cameo appearances.

Last Chance U

One of the best Netflix original series made thus far follows the season of East Mississippi Community College. Led by coach Buddy Stephens who recruits the most talented players who often have troubled past he gives them another chance ar making it. With this philosophy, EMCC has become a national powerhouse at the junior college level winning three national championships over a five-year span. Watch season one to see if they complete the three-peat.

Friday Night Tykes

it may only be peewee football but football is a religion in Texas no matter what your age is. These little kids are long away from a chance at the NFL but they play just as hard. They may be small and still developing their skills but they have the heart that it takes to play the game of football.


Blue Mountain State

After the first episode, you'll be thinking that you aren't at the right college. There are only two things that matter at Blue Mountain State football and the parties at the the Goat House. Thad Castle, Alex Moran and his best friend Sammy who becomes the Goats mascots are the stars of the show.


Friday Night Lights

The Friday Night Lights TV series is just as good as the film but neither are what the book is. It's set in Dillon, Texas and the Panthers are led by coach Eric Taylor. The team goes through all kinds of things and have to find a way to bounce back and come together as a team. Every year they are expected to win a state championship and if they don't the boosters let coach Taylor know about it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
