[Millions]

NFL and ESPN



Show Was ahead of its time i heard it was originally supposed to be on FX

[Roid Jones]

The show had great potential and touched on topics people knew were going on IRL

 

[Millions]

Had Micheal sam before micheal sam , Ray lewis murder case too..

Too real for the NFL

 

[Uno]

No, there football scenes were shyt

 

[BlackAchilles]

Wish they could've kept this going on HBO or some shyt.

I remember also after the episode where Olczyk paralyzed that dude they had a SC feature about gruesome football hits w/ Jack Tatum and LT (the first)

[Monoblock]

I heard NFL threatened to pull TV contracts with ESPN if that show didnt get axed. Touched on a lot of subjects the NFL did not want to be talked about. Gay players, injury issues, weight gain, contract negotiations all kinds of crazy shyt. Loved it too.
