I called this when the trailer released. Jerry McGuire HBO show/playmakers/entourage. The plot will be hard to frick up.

GF hated it but she loves the rock. It's like a black entourage.

I'm not saying you're wrong but I HIGHLY a doubt Hollywood of all people would it know about copywrite infringement. Very strange for them to just say "frick it" and do it without permission.
HBO has the mic'd up stuff, I would have thought the NFL gave the ok.

Earlier this month, NBC’s ProFootballTalk revealed that the NFL team uniforms featured in Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s upcoming HBO show “Ballers” are used without the consent of the league.
HBO’s reply to the story, and Business Insider, was that "HBO is always mindful of other intellectual property owners, but in this context there is no legal requirement to obtain their consent.”
It turns out that is 100% true, according to a prominent entertainment lawyer.

I would think the NFL has a deal with HBO with Hardknocks and all. Plus Marky Mark being the executive producer.

Nah. NFL is going to scratch and claw to stop them from doing it, just like playmakers
They won't win though

The last 10 years alone of scandals in the NFL will allow them to have a shitload going on in the show.

I hope they keep using the logos makes it better than the Sharks like any given Sunday

I'm still trying to decide if it was good or not, but as a Rock fan and someone who's interested in all the front office stuff of football it was quite enjoyable.

Rob cordury looks pretty good in this role.
Posted on 6/21/15 at 10:37 pm to auzach91

It's deffinitly not a "good show"
It's a fun show, but I wouldn't call it good in any other sense than that
But there's nothing wrong with that. It's a fun 30 minutes
