Men we love: Tim Riggins

First off, everyone should be watching/have watched Friday Night Lights. I dunno what the deal is with it being on Aussie TV – I think it might’ve been on Ten HD or some shit, but it is totally worth buying the DVD’s (or pirating if you’re that way inclined). It not only features the hot bitch that I’m about to talk about but at least two others including the AMAZINGLY HOT KYLE CHANDLER (and yes that does have to be in capitals. Always.) and that my friends is worth the price of a DVD/going down for piracy alone. And aside from Teh Hot it’s actually a really good show. The tagline for Friday Night Lights should be “You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll want to touch yourself”. Props to me for that one.

RIGGINS. Where do I start? Basically, Tim Riggins is a god amongst Texan men. He’s seventeen, his reasoning for playing football is “I just like to hurt people”, he regularly turns up drunk/hungover (hot teens drinking FTW!) to practice, he’s troubled and Just Wants To Be Loved, he’s a bit of a whore but since it stems from said lack of loving it’s all just kind of adorable, he hardly ever says a word and when he does it’s something awesome like how The Scarlet Letter is “about a gal named Scarlet, obviously”. Gal! Love! Oh, and he’s really hot. Like, have-a-change-of-undies-ready hot. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Also, he’s a one-time Ferret Minder. Riggins and ferrets! Be still my heart!

Even the characters recognise and acknowledge Riggins’ awesome, like in the first episode of Season 2 when Landry seriously says “you just need to ask yourself WWRD – What Would Riggins Do?”. Right on, Landry. Right. On.
