The pilot of this show was really good. The Rock is basically play Jason Taylor right?

Any Dolphins fan would have had to have a little SQUEE in them seeing Don Shula and Larry Czonka in that boat. The Phins coach in the show is much cooler than Philbin.

They showed Sunlife Stadium mid renovation. I wonder if this show will actually have any real game footage. That'll probably be too expensive. The Rock's scene's are all done as flashbacks.

 

Philbin.

However...this show will have to help.

 

I don't get the comparison to JT. Rock's character seems ill equipped for life after football, so he is hustling to make ends meet and secure a future. JT, I think, is pretty much the opposite of that.

And it is stunning that the show didn't ask any permission or address any potential red tape with the NFL or Miami Dolphins. They refer to them, use their logos, they are an integral part of the show. You can just do that?

I don't think this has any chance in hell of coming close to Entourage, but I will give it a full season.

 

Ah yes, the flashbacks from when they didn't have the upper deck corners and before they pushed the seats away from the sidelines :sidelol:

 

Show is awful aside from that you should lease it line.

 

I've enjoyed the show thus far.

 

Well... I want to like it.. but it's not as good as Entourage, not by a long shot.

 

Anyone find the clip of Dan Lebatard on the show?

 

Ballers got renewed for 2nd season, so ratings must be good. Its getting better for me. They are def. leaning towards The Rock having some serious issues with the concussions and things.

 

Pouncey said its quite accurate portrayal of things. Its NFL related during the off season, The Rock is the most popular movie star at the moment, NFL player cameos, boobs, drugs, cussing, "hip" soundtrack I can def see why the ratings are there.

 

He's definitely up there for mainstream media.

 

top 30 what?

he is an A list celebrity. the guys movies make money. i seriously doubt this one goes less than 5 seasons

In terms of box office, Dwayne Johnson is the Hollywood "it" man, at the moment. He resurrected the fast and furious franchise, G.I. Joe franchise, and that steaming pile of **** San Andreas made half a billion dollars world wide in box office, and will likely make a ton of money on DVD/Blu Ray. Dwayne Johnson is a movie star in every way. Being a "good" actor doesn't mean chit in regards to popularity.

p.s. The Rock was very good in Snitch, acting wise. And I loved "Pain and Gain." He was good in that too.

 

The Rock is a certified movie star. You're in denial.

 

Amen.

The Rock must have **** on Paul's lawn or something...

 

if he had paul wouldnt be so down on him the guy poops gold nuggets [emoji14]

The Rock has 50 million Facebook followers and another 9 million twitter followers. Regardless of an opinion on his acting ability.....he's as close as you get to star actor right now popularity wise.

Unfortunately, the show is mediocre. They could have done a lot better.

 

I like the show, the Rock's character is covering up some inner demons, we might see them soon...

 

I've only seen the pilot episode, but I thought it was cool. I could relate to some of the story lines from past (and present, see the 49'ers) about players getting released because of off-the-field problems. Plus I like that they're using a real team's name and logo, and it happens to be ours. I love the movie, "Any Given Sunday," but I didn't like the fact that they had to use made up team names, logos, and team colors. Some of them looked ridiculous.

I've got no problem with the Rock. Probably because he played for the Hurricanes, and he has also donated more $ to The :theu: athletic program than any other former :theu: athlete.

 

Ballers 2 on the way
