Synopsis[edit]
- "Springfield's youth join a pee-wee football team. With Ned Flanders at the helm and Nelson at quarterback the team is undefeated until Homer strong arms himself into Ned's job and puts all his faith in under qualified Bart as his quarterback."
Plot[edit]
The Simpson family and many residents of Springfield go to a health fair, where there are several stalls. At one, Homer is told by Dr. Hibbert that he has high levels of cholesterol (and gravy), another, where Grampa, Jasper and the Old Jewish man are wearing headphones to try and hear the tone Maude is turning up, so far that the people near the stall have to cover their ears. Marge has a stall about first aid that gains laughter from the crowd, and another where Rainier Wolfcastle is testing the children to see whether they are "Fit or Fat?" Üter is unable to press up, but tries to get out of it by telling Rainier that he loves his McBain movies. Milhouse is tested to see how much fat he has, but since he cannot hold his breath for so long, lets all his fat go. A "Fat" label is slapped onto his bare stomach. Martin and Bart are trying to touch their toes. While doing so, Bart rips his pants, when Martin exclaims that he has the same pants as him. Bart is also labeled "Fat".
Kent Brockman reports on the news how young children are in terrible shape, with a clip of Bart ripping his underpants to go along with it, while Bart and Homer snack on pop tarts. Kent then reports how sports can whip the children into shape, and gives types of sports, including pee-wee football. Homer points out to Bart that pee-wee football will help him get into shape, but Bart fights back by saying that he could get hurt. A discussion about pee-wee football is also going on in the Flanders house, with Ned saying that sports will help Rod and Todd keep away from temptation, with cheers from the two boys. Another discussion is also going on with Milhouse and his mom, with Milhouse saying that he could just have the surgery.
At Sportacus, Marge asks the cashier about protection for Bart's crotch. The cashier then brings up various things onto the counter for a certain part of the body, when Marge exclaims she wants a cup. The cashier then asks Marge to spell "C-U-P", but Marge gets the protection she needs. Bart tries his uniform on, which prompts Bart to ask Milhouse to try and hurt him in that part. He kicks the part a few times, with Bart showing no emotion whatsoever, before Marge shouts to stop that.
On the field, children are trying out for the quarterback. Many don't fit the part, including Ralph who brings a basketball. Nelson is then chosen to be the team's quarterback. Bart is given his part to tackle, before Lisa tries to make a stand, stating that girls can play too. Ned as the coach, points out that there is already four girls on the team. She then argues about the meat-covering of the football, before running off in tears. At the game, the Springfield Wildcats are playing against the Ogdenville Wildcats. While Ned coaches the team into high spirits, Homer keeps yelling at how Ned is the worst coach there has ever been. Marge then points out that Homer's remark is pointless, because the season hasn't begun yet, and there wasn't any coach before Ned, due to the teams recent creation.
Nelson plays excellent in the game, bullying his way into getting the ball, using Bart as a cover to knocking over the other teams members, and winning the team 20 points to Ogdenville's 7 points. The team carry Ned off, while Homer mutters to himself how Homer has been carried out of Moe's like that hundreds of times. Homer is going on and on to Roy Firestone how Ned is a terrible coach over the phone on his show. Roy interrupts him and asks if he actually has a question for Roy's guest, Sandy Koufax. He then proceeds to ask Sandy if he thinks Ned is a big jerk. He rings the show again, before being cut off.
At the next game, once again, Nelson wins the team the game. During cheering, Homer teases Ned by shouting "Flanders! Flanders!" continuously. Ned then loses his temper, and tries to calm himself. But Homer makes Ned to get rage breaking point by throwing a full can of Duff Beer at him.

Homer flashbacks to when he was putting on a show, impressing Marge before his dad shouted abusively at him, distracting him, making him fall onto the ground. Homer then shouts to Bart that he can stop running, before chasing him around the backyard for a hug. At a team practise, Homer cuts a few members of the team, including Martin and Wendell. Homer then proceeds to say that Bart, being the coach's son, will get no special treatment, and he will replace Nelson as the quarterback, much to the team's dismay. Bart argues that Nelson is the quarterback who carries the team, but Homer says that Bart will be the quarterback from now on. Homer then tells the team to run five laps then hit the showers.
In the car during the drive home, Bart argues how he doesn't know how to be a quarterback. Homer says that he has full faith in Bart, and then says "How about that hug?".

In the evening, Bart is aiming footballs to go through the hole in the tree swing, before one hits him back in the face. Joe Namath then walks through the gate, having broken down in his car outside the house. Namath then agrees to give Bart advice, before his wife has fixed the car and the problem was the vaporlock. Namath walks off, and Bart tells himself to concentrate. He thinks about what Namath and his wife said, before saying to himself, "I'm gone".

Homer then decides sarcastically that quitting is the best, and rings up Mr. Burns to quit his job. Marge points out that Burns cannot see him winking.
Nelson wins the next game, with Springfield winning 28-3. Homer then hugs Nelson saying that the team's in the championship, which gives Nelson the chance to pickpocket Homer and throw his wallet away. Nelson's father then rides by on his motorbike and tells Nelson to hop on. When Nelson goes, Homer says "Well, Bart it's just you and...", before realizing that Bart quit the team.
