Playmakers - ESPN

[rrrr]

Does anyone know if there is going to be another season. I really liked it the first year, but haven't heard anything about it.

cancelled. ESPN got alot of pressure from the NFL to get rid of it. I loved that show

FYI- Chris Wiehl (QB) trains at my gym & I ran into Jason Smith (linebacker) at a bar in SM right before they were cancelled.

Im pretty sure- the NFL didnt like the way they "negatively" showed FB players (ie steriods, wife-beating, drugged out, taking heavy painkillers b4 a game, tons of sex...)- ya know total fiction right? LOL!

Dam I heard that they were getting pressure from the NFL, but since I didn't hear anything for a while I was wondering. That sucks, I'll buy the dvd when it comes out.
