This is the first feature in what I hope is a long running series........
Profiles in Awesome: Billy Riggins
Billy Riggins is the ultimate grinder. If you are not familar with Friday Night Lights, get a ton better and fix your life.
During season 1 we realize that Billy was a promising golfer that gave up his dreams to raise Timmy after their mom and dad left to go be drunks and dominate. Billy has trouble holding down a job, but he is able to keep a roof over Timmy's head. One of the best early episodes is when Billy and Tyra throw the party to generate straight cash. Billy is basically comic relief during the first two seasons.....but by season 3 Dexter Rutecki http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106315/ and crew realize that they have a gem on there hands.
Billy steals copper wire, which helps him pay for Timmy and his share in Buddy Garrity's house flip. This flip cause Street to leave the show (thank god) and billy to get engaged to a stripper http://boards.nbc.com/nbc/index.php?showtopic=815487 .
The best hour in the history of tv (third season finale) http://rigginsrigs.com/ shows us Billy setting up his own business and give us some of the greatest dialogue ever.
I am too stupid to portray Billy Riggins greatestness words but I will pay for DVDs for anyone who doesn't believe me. I have also set up an etrade account in case I can buy stock in Riggins Rigs.
Billy's greatness is lost on all losers that don't watch the show
Tell Billy and Timmy, that Blue and White Ignite, BOOM!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm the first follower of your blog and I'm reading this while on vaciones in Costa Rica. Considering I have special insight into the world of West Texas High school football, I may have to provide some further commentary about the exemplary nature of the Riggins brothers.
