Sorry, coach.

Sorry?

What, are you gonna write that

On his cast?

Your job is to protect

the quarterback, period.

Got it?

Got it.

Coach, i want

my quarterbacks practicing

In red jerseys.

Water break.

Two minutes.

So you can't catch,

Too small to tackle

anybody,

And you're not very fast.

Kinda limits

what we can do with you.

I mean, what position do you

want to play, jamal?

Maybe i could sling it?

Be the backup qb,

chillin' with the cheerleaders.

Okay.

Now, back here on earth,

I mean, we've got to find

a place for you.

Coach wants us to find

something for you to do.

II don't know.

Well...

I, uh, i got an idea.

Hut!

Sorry, sorry.

Don't worry, coach,

we got this.

Yeah, i can see that.

Come on,

let's try it again.

Laces out.

You see this, captain?

I hope...

I did the right thing.

Good news.

Hi.

Johnny wants you

on the cheer squad.

Oh, that's so cool.

I'm a cheerleader.

Apparently you've made

quite an impression

On him this summer.

You're so lucky.

I'm so excited.

See you at the game

friday, right?

Yeah. Ladies.

Hi.

Hi.

Excited for our

study session tonight?

i hope you're ready

To actually study.

Oh, yeah, i'm gonna study.

Gentlemen scholars, right?

Scholars. Go long.

Boom!

Handon, get your car

out of my spot.

My bad, coach.

Attention.

Bill burkett please report

To the conference room.

Bill burkett

to the conference room, please.

Come on in, bill.

Burkett.

Steven tells me

you have something for us.

Uh, i've been working

on a product

An electric heater.

It's not just

an electric heater.

It's the next generation.

You did all this

on your own?

I have to admit, burkett,

i am impressed.

Tell me more.

Sell me.

Um, instead of the usual

electric coils,

It uses infrared bulbs

to heat up copper elements.

Uh, the number one

selling point

Is that it's not dry heat.

There's nothing like it

on the market.

It feels like a heater.

My wife says

it's the best thing

We've ever used on the farm.

Your tester

was your wife?

I've run technical studies

as well.

Infrared uses about 30%

less electricity.

Let me show you.

As you can see,

the heat doesn't

Just rise to the ceiling.

It's evenly

distributed.

There's also safety.

You know, conventional

space heaters are the

The number one cause

of fires in the home,

And infrared is

significantly safer.

How much would we have

to sell this for?

The initial price point

would be about $500.

$500 for a space heater?

Really?

We sell one

that costs $60.

All due respect, sir,

that's like comparing a...

Rolls royce

to a golf cart.

I've heard enough,

burkett.

I think you know

my answer.

That'll be all, bill.

You need to get back to work.

Bill...

What are you doing?

He said no, didn't he?

Bill?

He...

dismissed it.

Like it... was a joke.

We're in this together.

Don't you ever,

ever forget that.

Besides, there are other

manufacturers in ohio,

Aren't there?

Here we go, knights,

here we go.

Whoo, let's go, knights!

Yeah!

Come on, boys.

Let's go.

Oh

I knew this was

gonna happen.

All right, fellas,

pick your heads up.

Played a football game

tonight.

Some good things out there.

You guys were physical,

and you worked hard.

We just didn't execute

in the key moments.

So we run.

Ryan, seriously?

Running, after a game.

A little hard work

never hurt anybody.

It's gonna be

a long season.

So little johnny handon,

huh? Not bad.

Oh, don't give me

"little johnny handon. "

He had wilson in the end zone

twice and missed him.

We could have had

six touchdowns.

He can still throw

a long pass, brother.

Yeah, but it's not

gonna do any good

Unless the line holds out.

I mean, this isn't gonna work

At the state championship.

Cranberry soda, huh?

Yup.

Refreshing.

Cool and delicious.

How 'bout davis?

Davis is good.

Who are those guys?

The hoover faithful.

High school football

Jackson wears a skirt.

Jackson has done a good job.
