Still crying over a fictional character’s death from a movie you saw years ago?
Having trouble letting go of that one episode of your favorite series?
Grieving a gone-too-soon show?
Tim Riggins was far from a perfect person.
He cheated his way through high school.
He slept with his best friend’s girlfriend.
He drove drunk… while underage.
Then there was that time he and his brother, Billy, stole copper wire.
But Tim also had one of the biggest hearts of anyone in Dillon.
At the end of the day, Tim’s life was going to be memorable.
But after Street was paralyzed, Tim had to adjust his dream.
Don’t make me be that guy."
Without football and without Lyla, Tim struggled to find a new dream.
But there’s one thing I haven’t mentioned about Tim.
His greatest downfall was his circumstances, and more specifically, his screw-up of a brother.
Billy, like Tim, usually meant well, but Billy rarely did the right thing.
He was, as he later put it, screwing up his life so that Billy could fix his.
After that, Tim was never the same.
He is not a bad young man and he is certainly not a criminal…
This kid right here has got more heart than almost any person I know."
My only bit of solace?
Knowing that Tim Riggins never stayed down for long.
