inkman Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Caught the pilot of the series last night. Thought it was a cool little show. Kinda like a cross between Arli$$ and Entourage. Always enjoy the Rock, an underrated actor who has been lumped into the muscle head genre. Thought Peter Berg (he is a producer) forced himself into the show. His character didn't resemble any coach I've seen in real life. I do like the fact that the Rock's NFL career seems to have ended while knocking out/killing a Buffalo Bill during a game.

nfreeman Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I've read some negative reviews on this show from TV critics, but I liked the pilot and will definitely keep watching it. Dwayne Johnson is quite good in it. (BTW, I heard a pretty interesting interview with him last week -- he told some funny stories, including one about Warren Sapp taking his job at the U. of Miami.) Side note: the screwup wideout in the show is played by Denzel Washington's son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the Miami defense featured The Rock, Ray Lewis and Bob Marley's son at once. Those Miami teams were just awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Strikes me as one of those shows that will never be critically acclaimed, but will have a loyal viewer base because it's good fun. As an aside, I really want someone to put together an Eichel highlight reel next season with The Rock's franchise viagra skit playing.

I will have HBO as of later today so I may check it out. I got a good laugh out of the bolded line though. With as big as he is, what else can the Rock be doing? He'll never be the nerdy guy in a romantic comedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
