    Looks like a mix between Playmakers and Entourage (Mark Wahlberg is executive producer)
    Could be good.


    Stars June 21 in the time slot after True Detective

    Looks decent. Playmakers was my s--- back in like 6th grade. Still cant believe that s--- was A. on ESPN and B. never picked up by another channel after it was dropped.

    Playmakers was ahead of its time tbh...
    Plus a show challenging the NFL's image that aired on ESPN was never going to work...f---in NFL just strong armed them to cancel it...sucks it wasn't on HBO.

    Really good pilot. Was hoping it would be an hour instead of 30 minutes though

    It was entertaining...kind of like an NFL version of Entourage. I was expecting hot girls and flashy rides and that's what it was.

    Yeah my expectations were low too, and granted it was the pilot. Always hated entourage

    I think everyone is going to think of Entourage when they watch this. If you didn't like Entourage, I highly doubt you would enjoy Ballers. I love the NFL and really liked Entourage, so i'll be watching.

    I think this has the potential to be a really good show. Pretty good start with the pilot. Had no idea Ricky Jarrett was Denzel's son, who also happened to get signed by the Rams as a undrafted FA RB in 06. I'll be tuning in next week.
