Jason Sudeikis returns as NBC's soccer-savvy football coach Ted Lasso

When we last saw Coach Ted Lasso, he was making the transition from American football to the European version. It was all part of NBC’s promotion of its Premier League coverage. In this newest installment, Coach Lasso has been fired from his coaching job in the Premier League and is relegated to doing television work and coaching the St. Katherine’s Fighting Owls — not that he knows what relegated means. Our favorite moments from the new spot are listed below.

1. “I’m LeVar Burton from Star Trek.”

 

2. Beers with Timmy Howard.

 

3. Rebecca Lowe accurately guesses Ted’s nickname.

 

4. The keys to being a good soccer team “1. Play physical; 2. Give 100%; 3. Be sponsored by a Middle Eastern Airline.”
