Backfield in Motion, the 1991 film directed by Richard Michaels blends the joys of football with the challenges of family relationships. The movie follows the story of Nancy Seavers, played by Roseanne Barr, and her teenage son Tim, played by Johnny Galecki,  who moves to a small town where football reigns supreme. When her son, Tim, joins the junior varsity team, Nancy decides to organize a mother vs. sons football game, sparking a delightful clash with the town's tradition-oriented mindset. The film beautifully portrays the idea that football is not just a game; it can be a catalyst for bonding, even in unconventional ways.

Now, let's talk about the NFL Kickoff Game's rich history. Just like "Backfield in Motion" takes us back to the early '90s, the NFL Kickoff Game is a long-standing tradition, marking the beginning of each NFL season. Over the years, this game has been a platform for memorable performances and record-breaking moments reminiscent of the football films that capture our hearts. Players like Peyton Manning and Tom Brady have left their mark on these games, setting records for passing yards and touchdowns.

Lastly, get in the zone for football season by watching 1st & Ten, which originally aired on HBO in the early 1990's. This TV show starring Cliff Frazier as Jethro Snell, Delta Burke as Diane Barrow, Christopher Meloni as Johnny Gunn, and O.J Simpson as T.D Parker, follows the California Bulls football team, who may not be the best in the league, but they know how to navigate a minefield of zany adventures and sexy escapades. Hall of Famer & one of the G.O.A.T's of NFL History, Lawrence Taylor also appears across many episodes as Tombstone Packer. Rose After a divorce settlement, new owner Diane must lead the team through a hilarious minefield of crooked agents, wacky cheerleaders, and pompous politicians both on and off the field. At the same time, she must use her own smooth moves in her personal life. 1st & Ten is all about how football is not just about what happens on the field; it's also about the characters and stories that unfold around it.
