We have arrived in national spotlight. On Ballers tonight on HBO, the Rock is going to try buy the Chiefs. The storyline is the Hunts are upset over the Tyreek Hill incident and selling the team. [Reply]

Guess I keyed more on his injuries cutting his career short and people razzing him about not meeting potential [probably just smack talk], and missed the HoF storyline.
But the sense of the show as it is, as opposed to the main character's backstory, is pretty solid, no? or have I missed that as well?
It's a pretty solid show overall. Nothing too spectacular (with the exception of some of the women) but nothing really dumb. The rest of what you posted was accurate as to the storyline. [Reply]

It appears it is going to be a racial thing from the owners side. He is going to be the first minority owner but the old boys network does not want him to be an owner..with the exception of the guy that plans Jerry Jones. I hope that is not want it is all about as that will take away from a lot of the fun that the show can be. Would prefer a light hearted last season and not one mired in racial issues. [Reply]

What made you think this was going to be a racial thing? In prior seasons the guy has burned bridges with just about everyone including attempting to sue the NFL, so I feel they have a lot of stuff to work with outside of anything racial. [Reply]
