Top 50 Ted Lasso Quotes
My wife and I finally got into Ted Lasso and have binged it over the last month. And, it is hilarious! The Ted Lass quotes are abundant and all the characters are equally as funny.
The hit TV show follows the journey of an American football (think New England Patriots) coach who takes on the challenge of managing a Premier League soccer team in the U.K. called AFC Richmond (not a real team btw).
