Spinal Cord Injuries

In the first episode of Devil Town, Austin and Mitch explain how they relate to the show Friday Night Lights. They talk about their own devil towns, their histories with football, and try to figure out who their in-show matches are (Austin is Saracen, Mitch is Landry).

They take a close look at spinal cord injuries, the accuracy of Jason Street's story, and the safety of football. If you're interested in the real people and organizations working in this area, here are some resources:
