"Playmakers" on ESPN
OK, OK,.....I'll admit it...I'm STARVED for episodic TV!! (I need Soul Food back pronto!)
Has anyone checked out Playmakers on ESPN? I've watched the first three episodes. It definitely has an "Any Given Sunday" feel and I was grossed out at the lengths one player went to to beat the drug test. 
Anyway, guys and girls...weigh in if you're watching.

I watched with my boyfriend. I guess I kind of liked the show. Oh no he's rubbing off on me.

Sports talk guys
Here in LoCal were ripping on the show. They even suggested that real NFL players should boycott ESPN and that the league should fine the network for "conduct detrimental to the league" by running the show. Oh please. 
It's entertainment, and if you don't like it, turn off your station (in my worst Mike Tyson voice).

I like the show. That was crazy what he had to go through just to pass his drug test. I don't understand why the NFL is making a big deal out of it. It's just TV. They even have a disclaimer that they show at the begining of wach episode.

I saw the show and I liked it. It is entertainment and though it is a little bit on the graphic side while depicting the most popular sport for now, it is not worse than the violent mess that comes on other stations or the sexy mess that comes on during the middle of the day for everyone to see. Besides, I saw multiple naked little man buns . . . and that just added to the show's entertainment value.

Okay I can catch the first 2 episodes tomorrow so I can be caught up with you all.

I like the show. It's cool. It gives me a behind-the-scenes look into the "NFL." Not to mention I get to look at some men....

Yes, aside from the drama...the bun shots ARE a bonus
The NFL needs to stop being so "sensitive". I mean its "fiction", right? ....Me thinks they doth protest too much! This is a little too much reality for them!

Girl..YAAAAAAAAMEEEEENN!
When they showed Omar Gooding's bootay...WOOOOHOOOOW!!!! I just hope it wasn't a body double..if so, oh well....I'm still lookin'! LOL!
I like this show. I liked "Any Given Sunday", so I knew this was gonna be a winner. But I wonder about the subject matters for later on in the season  ...I mean, they already talked about serious injuries and drug use....those are biggies.

Question?
During the first episode there is a scene during breakfast where three men sing while wearing only their jock straps. Did anyone else notice that the middle man throws up the sign for Omega Psi Phi? I thought I was seeing things so I played it back in slow motion. This is another example of people copying Steve McNair when they shouldn't.
If anyone else, did catch this what did you think?

I was so busy looking at finely tuned buns that I didn't see the boy shooting the funk, but I am quite certain that Steve McNair is not the only member of a NPHC fraternity that is throwing up all kinds of things when he does something great . . . or even when he does something half great . . . or even when they do nothing at all -- just shooting and throwing and showing whatever they've got.
Anybody who is not hip to watching football, do it please. Watching football is like watching a big giant fit men catalog. They even show the faces of the boys in between plays so that you can see the mug that goes with the body. Oh boy, I love football.
