HBO's Ballers

Anybody watch this show starring Duane "The Rock" Johnson and John David Washington (son of Denzel Washington) who was a Running Back with the Rams for a while?

Anyhow, the interesting thing about this season of the show is that there is a Rams storyline. One of the characters, Charles Greane, is a former football player who is the new GM for the Rams (no, he's not playing Les Snead. The Charles Greane character is obviously fictitious). On Sunday night's show, the GM stopped by the new stadium to see how things were going (and yes, it was the real LA stadium that's being built). John David Washington's character, Ricky Jarret, is a free agent wide receiver and he wants to play for the Rams in the worst way. On last night's show, Ricky was at a party thrown by the GM and he was sitting at the bar drinking with the real Jared Goff!! Jared had a few speaking lines and during the show Jared and Ricky agreed to meet to play some video game together. The show is a mixture of fiction and non-fiction which I find interesting and entertaining.
