What exactly should an NFL player do with his career after he decides to hang up his shoulder pads? Well, in the case of Spencer Strasmore, a former Miami Dolphins player, it’s to continue to get as much money out of the game as possible, as a financial advisor to those still running lines.
Ballers TV Preview
Ballers is a comedy drama that ran from 2015, culminating in its fifth and final season in 2019. It’s a clever perspective on the other side of major sports, showing how contracts and deals are often more important than trophies and championship rings.
It’s also a glimpse into a highly macho environment where men call the shots! An environment where having a good, persuasive negotiator can land you a ten figure contract, and a ticket to the top of the rich list.
Starring Dwayne Johnson (Jumanji), John David Washington (BlacKkKlansman) and Donovan W. Carter (Family Time) the much loved Ballers TV series is available in Australia, and using the information in this guide you can find out how to watch every season and episode.
