I'm trying to feel bad for Bella but she knew the game. She been sharing that man for years and was cool with it.
Just cause a nikka didn't shout her out in the interview.

yeah she fukked up allowing it to happen once and giving him an allowance on extra p*ssy

The father card. Unnecessary

"You're no better than he is"

You didn't have to go there Bella

Ricky's heart just dropped when she said that. I could feel it.

These chicks on the show are just ruthless. But then again, that's some real life shyt. You fukk up in a relationship with a chick and she's going for the jugular every.time.

I'm such a bitter jaded person that I immediately thought Charles' wife cheated on him during their "separation" and got pregnant by someone else. I wish I didn't always think the worst of people

Thank god I have this show over True Detective

Man. No fukkn way y'all can't tell me you don't feel this show. Great fukkn writing AGAIN. Seriously I'm amazed by all of the angles and character development that's gone on this season. Seriously we've known Dan for all of maybe 20mn and his character easily stole the show tonight. I'm sitting back in amazement at the payout from the PTSD/Dan relationship played out. I don't even know if folks realize it, but the PTSDs storyline:
- built a connection to that white girl Spencer is semi dating
- built a connection to the neuro crisis that current and past players in the NFL deal with
- showed a different emotional dimension to the Rock's character
- built an attachment for Dan/journeymen NFL players/players that have had to retire due to injuries
- Dan's connection/this game pushed Spencer and Joe's relationship apart (as we saw this episode/will see next week)

And remember that this whole flashback thing was the first scene of the show.

There are 0 wasted scenes.

Every Sunday I leave satisfied/happy as fukk.

HBO is for the people

I mean, I enjoy the show....but you gotta slow lol.

Spencer out hear giving Dan the Make A Wish Kid treatment . Cameraman lucky all he got was a fastball to the groin, and Dan didn't treat him like he did Eugene on The Walking Dead.

So Spence loaned Vernon 300K, handled him fukking up at a party with his own money, helped him get a new contract, and now this dude wants to play David Copperfield and disappear . I hope Reggie kidnapped his non-acting ass.

Charles aka Black Swan was looking suspect on the football field . Maybe they should have asked him to push a SUV up a ramp instead of running football drills.

Looking forward to what goes down in the season finale next week.

Calling a grown man suga titts while he's getting dominated on the field

I swear I need 30 minutes more of this dope ass show.

Tonight's episode definitely made up for last week's weak one. I'm like how they are touching on issues without pounding you over the head with them or needing some long speech to explain character's motivations. Sucks that the season is already over cause they're setting a solid ass foundation. I liked that The Rock got to show some more personality and his humor some in this one. So far they've written him too straight laced to a degree and not fully taken advantage of The Rock's personality.

Definitely want to see more of Reggie as he's damn near the season MVP with Denzel's son.

One thing about Charles and people saying he don't look like a player, a lot of them offensive linemen that retire lose a whole bunch of weight almost immediately after leaving the game. Most have to eat crazy amounts and hit weights like crazy to keep their size so when they go to a normal lifestyle they drop it. I can't remember which former offensive lineman was on Lebetard show talking about it but he said a few months after going into retirement a team called him to come back and he damn near had to kill his self to make up the lost weight.

I'm wondering too if next season they actually get into on the field action and if it takes place during the season or how it'll be handled.

My thing with Charles is that it looks like he's never lifted a weight in his life. Lineman definitely do lose a ton of weight(look at all the ESPN/NFL network dudes, or Nate Newton), but Charles got arms like a 9th grader.

fukkboi's FUKKERY put him on Chill Mode Big Dummy Vern smarten up But, he won't answer his Agent phone call 'Your just like ya father:' VULGAR Ricky didn't warrant that Bella's True Colors came out Flabby OLiner got another mouth to feed Joe needs to take his talents St. Elsewhere Sistah Doc makes the cypher complete Rock did that so hopefully Abraham, I mean Dan wouldn't have to go thru that Outkast and The Killers Next week's the season finale, tho
