Okay, finally watched it last night. Damned entertaining. My wife liked it as well.

A few observations...
Fisher the dude is likeable. A fisherman with a cabin nicer than my house. What's not to like? I also dug the no more 7-9 BS, no 8-8 and 10-6 won't be acceptable. Sounds great to me. Now if we go 7-9 this season, I want Fisher locked in a room for a month with that clip of him saying 10-6 is not acceptable played 24 hours a day and played at full volume. After that one month is up...fire him...and give me his cabin.

Deon Long seemed unfazed by getting the boot. I'm guessing they didn't roll tape until after he knew he was being canned. Let's hope Goff doesn't bring any honeys into his room.

During the 1-on-1 and 2-on-1 drills there seems to be a lot of holding going on. Is this why we draw the yellow hankies like a magnet?

Finally, a RAM QB who can throw a fade pass. Haven't seen that done successfully since Bulger and Warner.

Is Goff a goof? I don't think so, but that is the angle the show seems to be going for. I must say that if a camera was in my face, and I knew the whole nation would watch it, I'd be very self-conscious about everything I did and would act differently from the the usual calm stud that I am...cough. Add the fact that Goff was number 1 and learning the hardest position on the field...the young man seems to be doing quite well.

I guess we can expect some fumbled snaps in the pre-season. I forgot he was a shotgun QB at Cal.

The whole Goff supplied fans thing was much ado about nothing. Interestingly, when I read that sequence in one of the posted articles here, it seemed like a big deal, but after watching it, with Fisher's snicker, it really was nothing.

So rappers get preferential treatment for practices while the riff-raff have to stay behind the ropes...I dunno...call me old school...everyone stays behind the ropes as that is treating everyone the same. Yeah, I know...what planet am I from?

I think one issue the players will be dealing with is the Hollywood glitz and fans drooling all over them because they have come back to LA. Keep your head in the game, chaps.

I know they show what they want to show, but I see a lot of the WR showing props to Goff and his arm strength and his ability to fit thru windows.
Seems like there's some "damn, we haven't seen THAT kinda QB around here"

I picked up on that big time. From coaches too. I think I remember Waufle commenting with a "that's a pass right there" comment.
Then HBO decides to show all the muffed snaps by Goff. :?

He's been dropping into coverage a lot at camp.

Quinn made a crazy one handed catch too when he AD and Tru were throwing a ball around before practice...

I, like a lot of guys growing up, played a lot of sports.

What I/we did vs what they can do is not even close. Professional/Olympic athletes have something beyond the normal when it comes to hand-eye coordination and body mechanics. Just unreal.
