You guys still watching this?
Storylines are starting to pick up.

Yeah just finished the last episode of season 1. Pretty good but still some work to do.
Good platform, and glad they actually showed players out playing, ah, football! Should get better from here, but 10 episodes is bloody short.
Just like entourage, only had 8 in the first season of that...
Looking forward to season 2!

Just finished the season. Really, really loved it. Not sure I love that Joe is back though. His character annoys me.
Is season 2 likely to be released mid next year?

Just binge watched all 10 episodes...which I gather is it for season 1. Was good. Pity about the length of both the episodes and the season though.

Yeah Joe's such an out of place geek for that world, maybe he was just miscast I don't know but I didn't buy it and didn't like him much either.
It improved the last few eps, really enjoyed them, good show to binge watch with the short eps like Entourage.
just binged on this myself, 10 eps in 2 days.
I really like it, storylines entertaining, the women are easy, very easy, on the eye.
and I love the music.
its a good 30 mins of fluff entertainment, and nothing else at this stage.

Nice show. Wonder how it compares to the real lives of NFL players
Bloody love this show, fills that void left by Entourage.

Real NFL players were being told not to go on the show in Season 1, and Wahlberg and the others who created the show were getting calls from Rodger Goodell.
Seems the NFL front office cant multi-task

Why can't the players go on the show? What sort of dictator does Goodell think he is?

He cant stop them, he did try. im sure if it wasnt for deflate gate he would of spent the money on taking HBO to court.
it was all because he didnt want the show to make the league look worse.
He did the same with the Concussion movie and then blocked Will Smith getting Superbowl tickets for Superbowl 50 because of the movie.
I've been watching the show, but not really loving it to be honest. Just stumbled across Survivor's Remorse, which actually IS the sports version of Entourage and is way better than Ballers. I thought I'd just post it here because you'd be likely to enjoy it as well.
