Dear Coach Eric Taylor –
Hi. How are you?
I like you very much.
Who is this doppelganger pretending to be you, neither from Texas nor in angry man shorts, angry sunglasses nor angry headset?
What the hokey pokey hell, Coach?
My state of reality is highly fragile and I become discombobulated much faster than most.
I am deeply troubled and I need you, Coach Eric Taylor, to point your right finger at me, whilst your left hand sits atop the angry belt of your angry man shorts and you state “nominate a teacher now, son. It’s what men do. It’s the right thing to do, son.” (For the record, Coach Eric Taylor: I don’t have a peen, and so am a girl, but will allow you to call me son.)
Can you please record a new public service announcement for me?
Further, I would greatly appreciate if you were to wear your green t-shirt a little more often, thank you.
You are my angry hero in green, Coach Eric Taylor, and I am sincerely yours,
Maha
Dear Connie Britton / Tammy Taylor –
Hi. How are you?
I like you as much as I like your angry and oftentimes confused husband, Coach Eric Taylor. Please understand I would never make a pass at your husband, no matter how angry and hot he is in his angry man shorts and angry headset. I wouldn’t do that to the sisterhood, Principal Taylor. (Principal Taylor? I might be a liar.)
I am writing this to you because I was wondering: Would you like to have a drink with me sometime?
In the future, I will probably have some boy problems that I will need to discuss with you because you are very clearly the world’s greatest listener of all time and I really like the way you communicate with your angry husband, Coach. I also wonder, do you ever call him ‘Coach’ when you are having adult private time?
By the way, my best friend and I are going to a combo of Morocco, Turkey and / or Cairo this coming Christmas and we were wondering if you’d like to join us?
I’ve used three variations of the word ‘wonder’ in my letter to you. It’s because I like that word and you make me shy and nervous with your fantastic breasts and large pretty brown eyes.
I wonder if I am now starting to creep you out?
Please don’t be scared of me if I show up at your backyard and try to fix your broken air conditioning unit. It’s because I like you very much.
(Also, I agreed with you about your dream home. I think you wanted to cry when Coach said no – I wanted to cry for you. I wonder, did you want to cry but the writers didn’t let you?)
Finally, I would like some pointers on how to do the same as you in the boobs department, please. (See what I just did there, Tammy? “Pointers”, like boobs? That made me giggle, too. I wonder if I can call you “Tammy”?).
I am yours in sisterly solidarity,
Maha
Dear Tim Rigging / Taylor Kitsch –
Hi. How are you?
I don’t squeal easily over boys, but I am squealing like a little school girl over you, my Rigglett.
I become seriously frazzled every time that your 17-year-old self shows up on my screen.
I am writing to you because I would like you to please stop screaming on my screen. Unfortunately, every time you do scream, my Rigglett, I hurt my hand in my small effort to place a lozenge in your mouth. And honestly, a lozenge is all I would ever try to place in your mouth. (Tim Riggins? I might be a liar.)
I am also sending you this letter because I would like to know which name brand and colour of blush you use, please. If you can spare a further moment, I would also like to know what stain of lipstick you use. On. Your. Mouth.
Your. Mouth.
You have the greatest mouth in the history of mouths and if ever I meet you, my Rigglett, I will try to poke your mouth in an effort to see if it is, as it appears to be, very cushiony to the touch.
I’m pretty sure my vision just blurred a little, Rigglett.
I am yours with the sincerest of sentiments: I would very much like to touch your hair if only to shampoo it,
Maha
P.S. Do you like bubblegum? I do, very much. I thought you should know. Bazooka is my favourite. Bye.

Dear Magnificent Maha/One Female Canuck
I(we)Love You.
The end of that.
I adore your travel stories and pictures and would like very much to join you on your travels, at your home, in your office, at your boxing…. anywhere where we can be surrounded by your beauty and basking under your halo.
I would also like to know how you encompass so much of what people love. E.g. Beauty/character/personality/love/wit/sexyness/style/passion/intelligence
We would like you to write more often, s’il vu plait….
I would like to know why you are so beautiful… not a little bit jealous (that’s a teeny weeny lie) I wonder what it would be like to be as beautiful/funny/blessed as you.
I would like you to know that you are wonderfully amazing and would love to share adult time (coffee & desserts) with you.
I would like very much to hug you and conversate.
Please forgive if I sound stalker-ish.

If you love Coach Eric Taylor, check the quotes out from Kyle Chandler about family and marriage:
Q: What’s the number one way you and your wife have kept your marriage strong all these years?
We trust each other — absolutely, 100 percent. We run into some pretty tough arguments sometimes, but the idea is that at the end of the day, my wife and I realize that we’ll always be holding each other’s hand. This is a lifelong relationship, and after 12 years she hasn’t gotten rid of me yet. My grandparents got married at a very young age, and a lot of what I think about marriage is based on their relationship. I watched them over the years and saw how they dealt with everything together, as a team. I love the institution of marriage, and I love my marriage.
Q: Does anything about your wife drive you nuts?
Let me word this delicately. My wife, she likes to have things uncluttered, and if something is missing, then one has to be very careful not to ask her if it was thrown out — you have to ask her simply where it might be. But really, there’s not much about her that isn’t amazing. There, that ought to win me some points.
Q: Are you particularly helpful around the house?
I do like to cook; I’m sort of a mad scientist in the kitchen. My father always made breakfast in the morning, before we went to school. Whether we wanted to or not, us kids had to sit down and eat. So now I’m doing that with my kids, and I’m the one standing there while they grunt, saying, “Eat your breakfast now, come on.” And on the show, my character’s home is an actual house that we film in, so I’ve started cooking breakfast for the crew in the house’s kitchen. It started out where it was just bacon, but now there’s pancakes and eggs and toast and butter. Most days, I start by cooking up around 15 bacon strips, and handing that out, and then usually someone will come up and say, “Can I have a pancake?” I take all requests. Because believe me, it’s important to keep people fed. You don’t mess around with your film crew.
I love your site!

Um, I love this so much. I just sent it two friends and said "OMG. I fucking love this."
In fact, I've now bookmarked your blog.
Peace!
Yes, yes he is. New star of a new show plus a nice feature-film resume. I want to believe he would come back after the show shot him to stardom and had everyone asking the same question: Is that the same guy from Office Space ? (That would be Ron Livingston, not Kyle Chandler). We do not have to guess what Taylor s role would be: Berg outlined the premise for the reboot, saying Coach would be in some sort of rules trouble.
