With the new NFL season right around the corner, and the ending of one of the best series ever on television - "Friday Night Lights," it got me to thinking about other great football television series. Unfortunately, once you get past the likable comedy "Coach," there's not much else for you out there. There was, however, an HBO series that ran for seven seasons and starred everyone's favorite double murderer, O.J. Simpson as "T.D. Parker." The series also featured Delta Burke, former porn star Shannon Tweed, Chris Meloni for 11 episodes ("Law and Order SVU" fame), and Ogre from "Revenge of the Nerds" fame (he shall always be "Ogre.")
