I know Ted Lasso isn’t the sort of thing we cover here at FTN but, as I have said before, it’s just such a ray of sunshine – and was one of the highlights of our lives during lockdown, that, well, I’m sharing it all.
Yes, the Jason Sudeikis series about an American football coach brought in to manage a failing English football (soccer) team is something that doesn’t necessarily sound great on paper but in reality… perfection.
Oh, and if you’re interested, there’s a Ted Lasso merch store too (here). I want that jersey.
It’s more exciting than Higgins at an open mic jazz club.
Golden Globe winner Jason Sudeikis is Ted Lasso, an American football coach hired to manage a British soccer team—despite having no experience. But what he lacks in knowledge, he makes up for with optimism, underdog determination…and biscuits.
A new season of Ted Lasso returns July 23.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
