Has anybody else watched this show on Netflix? If you haven't, go watch it. It's pretty eye opening behind the scenes stuff.

I watched the first couple of episodes. The woman who makes sure the players make it academically is smoking hot, and that southern accent of hers drives me wild. Maybe not what you were talking about, but that is what I got from it.

I'd say she definitely helped the ratings

Ms. Wagner is a little flirt with the players. All in all a decent show.

The show makes me want to go kick the dog out of some of those guys. They have a gift that few have with the physical abilities they have and it's like they couldn't care less. They're willing to throw these opportunities away for nothing. I just don't get it.

Ms Wagner is a dog, but I enjoyed the series. Last episode was a throwaway though.

The series was renewed for a second season. Looking forward to Isiah Wright having a breakout season. His "Who put you in?" "I put me in" moment before that long kickoff return was hilarious.

Ms. Wagner is a Leanne Touhy wannabe. I can barely stand to listen to her singsong approach to these guys. Show isn't bad though overall.

The thing that struck me is how many of them come from humble, disadvantaged backgrounds but are entitled as all get out. Take Ronald Ollie. Parents are both dead, dumb as a box of rocks, the school's professors and academic advisor spoon feed him and bend over backwards to keep him academically eligible, yet he told a directional school recruiter on Twitter he was too good for their school while having no other offers. Lucky that he didn't burn that bridge, because they ended up offering him anyway,

I see how a kid like John Franklin III is entitled and doesn't want to be there - not justifying it, but I see how it can happen. But the poorer kids or the kids who should just be happy to be there...I don't understand it.

Bro I've worked in the hoods of Memphis for 13 years prob the worst zip code in the whole US and let me say there is a different mentality that no one would understand this is where most of these kids come from..
