I've actually come around on both of them. First episode they kind of came off to me as kind of harsh and cold. The harsh part doesn't bother me, actually I kind of prefer it but without a lighter side to balance it out it just seems like it would wear thin after a while. Since then though they've seemed to showcase a more human side and they seem to care about their players. I really liked the part in the 2nd episode where Tice made the players sing "I believe I can fly" when they spread their hands out ("Who you gonna block standing around like this").

DJ Swearinger (#36 on the Texans) is quite the trash talker. They're pulling him away and right after he tells whoever he got in a scuffle with Douglas that he was going to knock him out he just goes "I'M GOOD COACH! YOU GOT THE WRONG ONE!"

Matt Ryan, still boring, but really does seem like be an excellent teammate. HBO kind of wasted a lot of time with that chicken wire joke.

Favorite part for me of the third episode was the receiver from Amsterdam. Especially the part in the film room where the other guys asked him what languages he spoke and he just list casually list 3 languages besides English almost as if its normal for people to be fluent in that many languages. The part where he tries to explain himself and then just gives up saying "I f**ked up" was pretty hilarious to.
