NFL Full Contact on truTV [merged]

[pats1]

Has anyone watched this? It's a new show that's on truTV, but has also aired on TNT at least once. Basically it shows what goes into an NFL production, from the TV crews, to the security, to the cheerleaders. They did the Steelers opener last week, and the Cowboys Stadium opener this week. Next week it's the Pats-Bucs game in London. 10 PM on Monday nights.

Re: NFL Full Contact on truTV

Supposedly only going to be a total of 6 episodes, with only 4 new ones left.

The London game, Pro Bowl, Super Bowl, Draft (last yr's I would assume, unless they somehow spread it out over next 3 months--which I highly doubt).

Sorry, don't have a link--so take it w/ a grain of salt, looked it up during tonight's episode on web.

Even if there's only 6 episodes, which isn't too rare for a new concept show, it's still entertaining and hopefully will be picked up for another 'whole' season (10-12 episodes) next year.

Glad to see the London game on there at least, although the first 2 really didn't show much, if any, 'behind the scenes' from a team perspective. Lots of good stuff regarding how a usual game goes down for the camera men, producers, and security.

OT: Anyone catch NFL Full Contact on Tru TV

For those of you who don't know, NFL Full Contact is a show that goes behind the scenes in all the dealings that go into putting on an event. Think of Apprentice meets NFL.

One of last night's espisodes featured in the NFL Draft.

Did anyone catch this episode, which mainly featured two Patriots fans dressed in revolutionary Patriots attire. In the front row of the balcony overhanging Radio City Music Hall, these two fans were almost kicked out for their persistent heckling of Marshall Faulk (who was on set for the NFL Network).

They were saying things like (not exact quote) but I will paraphrase as best I can.....

"Greatest Show on Turf my *****""

"Marshall Faulk is a pansy!"


Great show, and it was good to see some fellow Pats fans be featured.

These same fans were also featured during the episode covering the Bucs-Pats London game.
