Football Is Back: NFL Kickoff Weekend & 1st & Ten

The wait is finally over, football is back! The NFL season officially kicked off last night with an intense divisional matchup as the Philadelphia Eagles faced the Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles-Cowboys rivalry kicking off the NFL season reminds us why football drama is so irresistible to watch. 

The rivalry began when Dallas joined the league in 1960 and landed in the same division as Philadelphia, guaranteeing they’d clash twice every year.  And it didn’t take long for the drama to start. Rookie star Jalen Carter was disqualified from the game after committing an unprofessional conduct penalty before Dallas’ first offensive snap.

Tonight, the excitement continues with the Kansas City Chiefs taking on the Los Angeles Chargers. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just here for the snacks and the beer, there’s nothing like the energy of opening week. 

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.

Hall of Famer 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. 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. 

So as the NFL season kicks into gear and rivalries heat up under the bright lights, 1st & Ten is the perfect reminder that the world of football is every bit as entertaining off the field as it is on it. Enjoy NFL Kickoff Weekend!
