Notch Novelty Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 You beat me to it. Damn, I loved that show. It's a bullplop reason for the cancellation. I wish Showtime, HBO, or another network would pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 can't say this is a shock...this sucks but i'm not surprised, they've been talking about this since before the last episode at least.

slapshot Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I watched a few episodes of the show. It was pretty good, but it was as realistic as "Boston Public".The funny thing was the players' reactions at the Pro Bowl. Ray Lewis (!) actually said he thought the show was so wrong and offensive he would never let his kids watch that show.But I guess the Court TV episodes about his murder rap were recommended family viewing, right Ray?

DEAD! Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Maybe it wasn't realistic because the game scenes were shot at Skydome. I mean football being played at Skydome? C'mon  :laugh: I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowcap30 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 stupid :censored:ers pf the NFL. the show was a great hit, and ESPN even said "it didnt portray any real events of the NFL" Â :: i really do wish HBO or sumthing picks it up, i bet they will since it was so popular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 wouldn't HBO have the same problems as ESPN? HBO also shows official NFL programming..."Inside the NFL"maybe Showtime can get it instead. Or maybe Spike TV. Or even FX (they swear on it, watch "The Shield") Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJTank Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 The NFL made ESPN an offer they couldnt refuse.ESPN is a sports channel and they should let dramatic programs go to other places, like HBO, or FX and when the NFL expressed their displeasure they did the smart thing and dropped Playmakers, even though it is quite unfiar and teh NFL is overreacting they cant afford to lose their relationship with the NFL, especailly after tehy satrted their own network if NFL Newtork gets more carriage they coudl crush ESPN. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
