Ballers S1E9

The Marlins stadium has never been that full ever

True story.

And Reggie finally getting called on his shite was satisfying. I still need to see him get a solid arse whoopin' though to be truly satisfied.

I love the show, but that was some of the worst acting I have ever seen.

I've enjoyed the show so far. However Vernon is starting to annoy me. Very immature and emo. His agent gets him 45 mil guaranteed but he's too sad to talk about it at the moment.

Why the frick are all these guys in Miami?

and Vernon plays for Dallas, lives in Miami.

I want to say Spence, Charles, & Ricky all went to the same high school in Miami. Maybe same with Vernon hence why they're "family".

There needs to be some vindication against Reggie. He can't just walk away on his own, he needs to be destroyed by Spencer.

Vernon is from the hood in LA. Ricky went to usc and I believe they said his father went to usc also, so I don't think he had any connection to Miami besides being signed by the Dolphins

I think he was even on the Rams practice squad for a season (maybe just training camp). He is good on the show, although since I learned it was Denzel's son I hear his voice whenever rocky gets exasperated.

I think most of the actors are solid but the show has been terrible imo. I feel like the show is asking us to care about spoiled rich athletes while giving them little depth to make them interesting. Denzel's son is good but why should anyone care about his relationship? The resolution to the rock's storyline last night was awful. He ended the guys career, the guy has held a grudge for years, and in one speech (where the rock doesn't even apologize) all is forgiven. The guy just happened to know he wasn't going to have a big moment and didn't need nfl checks anymore? Seems awfully convenient. If the rock wasn't in this, there is no way it would be getting a second season.

Like a previous poster said. Miami seems to be the resting place for young, sometimes single, people to live same as Arizona or Vegas is for old people with money.

Yeah, the fact that all these dudes spend their time in Miami isn't a problem for me, i would be there too if i was single and had their money.

I do agree with the poster above regarding the show, although i wouldn't classify it as terrible. The writing and storylines are pretty bad, but the eye candy and glitz makes up for it a bit. It's nowhere near the level of entourage.
