Plot
Junior Jackson is the nerdy son of a former All-American football hero, Jarring Jack Jackson. His mother is another former star athlete, having been a champion Olympic swimmer. Junior is something of a disappointment to his father, who has a difficult time understanding how two athletes could produce such a weakling.
