'Friday Night Tykes' looks inside the competitive Texas youth football scene
Illegal recruiting, cheating, suspensions. Those may sound like story lines from a typical college football season, and they are all part of a new documentary-style show. The thing is, it's not about college football. It's about eight- and nine-year-old players.
"Friday Night Tykes", which debuts tonight on Esquire Network, follows the players, coaches and parents of five youth football teams in the San Antonio, Texas area.
