The Simpsons - S09E06 - Bart Star

Synopsis de l'épisode

The kids of Springfield are getting fat so the parents put their children in pee-wee football. The team is undefeated until the taunts of Homer cause winning coach Flanders to quit, leaving Homer in charge. To make up for the discouragement he felt as a child, Homer decides to make Bart his star quarterback. Nelson was Flanders' quarterback, and was flawless. Homer cuts just about everybody from the team and Bart feels terrible as the new quarterback, especially with Nelson sitting on the bench watching him suck. The team hates him for his lack of quarterbacking skills. Bart decides to try to get out of playing, so he pretends to get hit by two cars on the way to practice. Homer says he is going to forfeit the game and Bart tells him the truth about not wanting to be the quarterback. He announces he is quitting the team. Homer starts Nelson at quarterback and they are back on the winning track. At home Homer gives Bart a hard time for being a quitter. They make up and Homer makes Bart the starting offensive tackle for the championship game. The cops come during the game, wanting to arrest Nelson. Bart pretends he is Nelson, allowing the team to win the game and the championship. They try unsuccessfully to carry Homer off the field.
