Demetrius Harris

Demetrius Harris
The character of rookie Running Back, Demetrius Harris may not have had much of a moral compass, but that was probably the point of the character on the ESPN original show, Playmakers. The show only lasted one season, though not because of ratings; which were actually very high. The NFL basically threatened ESPN that they would remove the game from the network due to the graphic portrayal of the game, even though they never said it was the NFL, nor did they ever say where the Cougars actually played.


Most of their concerns, we suspect were the depiction of Harris who throughout the season was shown constantly with drugs (including stealing pain medication from a child in a hospital), in strip clubs, and was associated with a murder.   Regardless of the unlikability of the character, we did love watching the brashness of Demetrius Harris….even though the actor who portrayed him, Omar Gooding (who is Cuba Gooding Jr.’s brother), kind of looked like a constipated version of Rod Tidwell throughout the series.

Curtis Jackson

Curtis Jackson
Arguably the coolest of the cool players on Carver High, we admit we were still shocked when reviewing all of the episodes of the White Shadow (even though we remember it happening) when we watched the death of Curtis Jackson. We suppose in a show based on the inner city of Los Angeles, that one of the players was not going to make it out alive, but we will always remember the party animal of Carver High.


Chuck Cunningham

Chuck Cunningham
Yeah, we know. However sometimes we just want to be nice, and throw a bone to a character whose demise developed his own syndrome (the Chuck Cunningham Syndrome), whereby a character suddenly disappears and is not just written off the show, but is treated like he never existed. With that in mind, our ballot gives you Opie’s big brother, Chuck.


What do we really know of Chuck Cunningham? Based on his limited appearances, all we know is that he was always doing something basketball related and got a scholarship to Wisconsin-Milwaukee (or was it Marquette?). Sure, Richie Cunningham was actually seen playing basketball for his high school team, but was he ever going to get a free ride to a university from it? Not too likely. Basketball was the backbone of Chuck Cunningham’s brief and mediocre existence; and we would like to think that he found his way to a pro career in Europe after Tom Bosley ignored his existence.

Brian "Smash" Williams

Brian Smash Williams
The Television version of Boobie Miles on Friday Night Lights, Brian “Smash” Williams was arguably the talent of the Dillon Panthers, and the one who transformed his swagger to confidence (not easy to do) and was one of our favorites to watch on the program. Last we heard, Williams did success after a horrible injury to make it to Texas A&M, and though we suspect he never would have made it to the NFL, somehow Smash will land on his feet…maybe as a surgeon in Seattle.




The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Friday Night Lights (2006-11)

Actor:
Gaius Charles

Position Portrayed:
Running Back

Played for:
Dillon Panthers

Why you should vote for him:
There should be some “Boobie Miles” residue here.

Why you should not vote for him:
The show had a long run, but only a devoted audience. Most people never saw this performance.
