    Well obviously it doesn't all happen to one team, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that most of the plotlines have occured in locker rooms around the NFL.

    They all seem to be ripped straight from the headlines.

    I can't take that show. It makes me dizzy. They move the camera around so much and switch angles every half second. Why do shows do this?!?!?

    So you're saying that networks can air anything from ass to f*ck on air? Then why do shows like Soth Park blank or beep out the f-bomb? People who buy commercial spots surely know what type of show outh Park is so why would they mind?

    I watched the show a little bit at first, but the sheer amount of plot twists have made it boring and unwatchable for me.

    it should be on in the daytime for the housewives to watch cuz it's nothing more than a soap opera with a lil testosterone.

    They're clearly trying to copy Any Given Sunday.

    Any Given Sunday was a really weird and overly dramatic movie. I mean why did Stone feel the need to have a guy lose his eyeball on the field? I did like Lawrence Taylor's performance in that movie, he played his part well.

    You are allowed to say the s-word on national TV i believe, When Eminem sang "Stan" live at the Grammys they didn't bleep the word out, and I've heard it on other shows before.

    The Radio is supposed to be bound by the 7 forbidden words. Then of course they have shows like Loveline and Numerous Morning shows where they depict graphic sexual encounters among other things.

    Aaron Glenn was asked this question yesterday on air, and his answer was "Zero". Atleast from the Texans perspective...he also stated the plotlines on the show were way out there as far as the NFL goes.

    It's up to Comedy Central. They obviously want any commercial advertising revenue they can get their hands on, thus they cease from using profanity. Of course, there was the lone exception. ;) But that was hyped up to earn ratings, which also equate to higher revenue.

    There was one episode of South Park where they said s&^t dozens of times and kept a running counter on the screen.

    It just seems to me that the writers of Playmakers want the show to have a kind of ......edge to it, so they find anyway to squeeze the word **** into each episode. I mean if u are gonna curse go all the way. Say f#@k, ****, a$$h@le...whatever.

    Did anyone see it last night? Is that it? Ending a season like that, the last thing you see is that qb running for a TD to, I guess, end the cougers season, was that the last show?

    I didn't like the way they ended the season. I've been a huge fan of the series, but the flashbacks tied into the "big game" was not the kind of flow I like in a television show. I liked the pregnancy story line with the linebacker. And you just knew that they weren't going to make the playoffs after that premature locker room celebration. Don't count yo' chickens...

    and why didn't they just have Allen Iverson as a guest star with the blatant "practice" controversy ripoff?

    All-in-all, it was an excellent series, one I'm hoping to purchase on DVD. Hopefully Tags won't get involved and force pressure unto the all-sports network to make them drop the series for a second season.

    That was the season finale. Rest depends on if it's renewed for next year.

    I admit it, I watched every episode. Show was very cheesy but it was like a soap opera for guys.

    I agree with drap.

    Love the show, the finale was filmed in a bad way.

    How do you know ESPN isn't renewing it?

    We also had no closure with the coach. Chemo? Is he coming back?

    When the evil owner was threatening him about starting D.H., I truly expected the coach to say "**** that! i'm the coach and i'll play who I want. If you don't like it, shove this job up your ass!" (with the thought that he planned to quit after the season to recover from cancer)

    but NOOOOOOOOOOOOO... we got nothing!

    The words "soap opera" and "guys" should never go together.:p
