I thought the show was good....at least it deals with a different part of the game...what goes on outside the field of play.

Did anyone catch the outside the lines right after about the guy that taclked someone and paralyzed them?? So the stuff from the show does happen in real life.

Wow, I must have watched something else. That show was terrible. No way a player can smoke crack 30 minutes before a game. No way a cop lets a player go with cocaine in his car. It is front page news whenever they bust an athlete doing something illegal. So far fetched and over the top it was unbearable....but thats just my opinion.

It was ok... some of the acting seemed forced... also, didn't know they could say SHT on cable TV now...


You've never heard swearing on HBO? Showtime?

tv stations actually are supposed to edit the shows content themselves. it was rated MA for a reason, espn allowed sh!t to be said because it felt it would add obviously, and they only get in trouble really if people complain. but it was rated MA

also, i missed the first half so it was sorta weird for me, i know what all seemed to happen.

and yea i felt bad for that guy who was hit, and the guy who hit him became fully paralyzed, then died a few years later, and that was only in college. (although it was an improper tackle form since he lead with his head)
