Same thing I'm thinking plus Playmakers was on ESPN,which has a heavy relationship with the NFL, although HBO would not want an issue, I doubt losing Hard Knocks is that big of a deal to them.
Yea Playmakers pulled right from the sports headlines. It was too real ...

Its crazy how they could air that complete series now and itll be more relevant now..

Ballers a toe the line like Survivors Remorse does. So far its bout life after football, me first ballers and pro players money management.

If they touch on peds, domestic violence or a gay player roger gone make that call

Hardknocks been trash since the Jets season

just watched the two episodes. I wasn't sure what I was gonna be watching, but this is dope. I like seeing the rock hustle. I'm still not sure what the car salesman ex-player's role is going to be going foward tho.
besides having the baby Im thinking he gone try out some espn /nfl network ish like most former players...if he dont try an make a come back.

Or a front office spot reading that salesman book..trying sharpen up his talk game

i f*ck with this because I f*cked with Entourage. this is essentially "our" Entourage. and i'm good with the stereotypes in the show so far because 1. what we've seen so far is more truth than fiction. 2. they have a chance to show both sides of young black males who become millionaires over night.

Did they mention how long Charles, the retired OL, was in the league for? I remember Dule's character saying he retired after two years which doesn't sound right plus he has too much pull (he basically got Ricky the Dolphins job).

I think the show would wear itself too thin if it was an hour.

two years I just watched, sounds about right the average nfl career is 3 years.
