Do you imagine Earl fixing a football game?

Well of course I do but that was in the past when he bet against Randy's team and force Randy to play against his own team. Now that is in Earl's list and also the fact that Randy's never feel the sensation of score a touchdown and now Earl is going to help him. Randy must return to high school just for join the worst football team but actually he attend the classes and start to learn things that later will be useful to save Earl's car and money.

Definitely the best thing in this episode is the experiences Randy in high school, being surprised for know that once we were monkeys and saying: "I can't even remember being a monkey". Is hilarious too how he really wants to participate in the school activities but Earl can't afford because his money is closer to Joy. And here's the other subject of this episode, Joy being a headache and trying to steal the money. But Joy doesn't know that Randy learn something about the Trojan horse but, in this case, instead of a horse stuffed with a bunch of Greeks they had a LeCar stuffed with one tiny gay. So the plan doesn't go right but Randy has another surprise, this with all the influence of the old Earl, that will confirm the great brotherhood with Earl.

Well I love this episode and "Black Betty" really rocks!
