And the fact Playmakers basically predicted every problem the NFL ran into over the next decade.

HBO is owned by Time Warner. They have zero affiliations with the NFL.

Bout time. HBO been lacking in minority driven shows for a while it feels like.
Even if this is some "entertainment industry" related **** it's good to see.
It's also good competition for LeBron/ Starz "survivors remorse" which was surpringly dope.

Not really. Well, the current contract runs through 2021, and involves four networks. Turner doesn't care about the NFL. Also, HBO dropped Inside many years back. They'll drop Hard Knocks if they had to. Plus, the NFL probably wouldn't mind it going to Showtime, because that's owned by CBS (which is why Collinswortth doesn't do it anymore).

Looks good to me. Kinda looks like it could be some sort of Entourage/The Game type show. I'll check it out.
