The "intellectual" display seems consistent with my views of most who play at that level and even in the major universities. One x college player referred to his teammates and those who went into the NFL as "maladjusted violent oafs". Lets be honest here: if this were truly a sane world professional football would be illegal.
So the show doesn't bother me. I actually enjoy it. What I would prefer is to see more actual "coaching" just for an informative standpoint but the silly stuff is what HBO knows attracts the audience. So be it. Mermaids? I saw one once. I won't tell you the circumstances but I did see one.
