“Ted Lasso,” which returns for a second season on Apple TV+ next month, finds rich comedic tension in the relationship between a team and the media that covers it. Jason Sudeikis stars as an eternally upbeat American managing an English football (soccer) team — a sport he’s never coached! at any level! — and the show mines all kinds of humor from these press events. James Lance plays reporter Trent Crimm, and if his urbane swoop of hair didn’t immediately peg him at Ted’s kind-sorta nemesis, his introduction does, as he stands up and lists the many reasons Ted is unqualified for the job. “Is there a question in there?” Ted gently asks.

I like those moments, I like to be in those moments and that day was a good day for me.”
“You go back to last year and our home record (19-14), and I remember around here (people saying), ‘Oh, why aren’t you playing well at home?’ ” Rizzo said. “Well, we were used to 30,000, 40,000 people screaming and drinking beer snakes in the bleachers and going crazy, and then we just have empty seats.
