I just saw the ad for "Tilt" on ESPN.

I also am willing to be pleasantly surprised if it's half-way decent though.

Everything that EOE has done so far has been hideous. If it's not a steaming pile of excrement, I'll be a lot more than surprised.

I disagree--like I said before, I think "Playmakers" was excellent. I'll definitely be giving "Tilt" a chance, but if I had to bet I would say it's going to suck.

huh? Have you seen Streetball? Excellent show imo.

If I had to guess, I'd say this show will be pretty decent. However, most of the people here will just post crap like "Why didn't he raise the turn? This show sucks." Playmakers was one of the top 5 shows on non-HBO TV (in terms of quality) last season. If Tilt can equal or surpass it, I'll be quite happy.

Playmakers was solid. Not to mention close enough to the mark that the NFL dropped the hammer on ESPN to not renew it.

About the only thing that had happened in the series that hadn't happened in the NFL was the gay tight end (aside: how cliche is THAT?) coming out to his team and not being totally shunned.

And a lot of it happened during or after the series aired.

Pardon the Interruption is great, too.

EOE handles the WSOP and I think the way they film, edit, and handle on-screen graphics and sound is perfect. Streetball is also an excellent show, and my roomate swears by Playmakers. I'm looking forward to Tilt.

Oh, so I guess we'll see a bunch of college kids saying "ship it" while wearing Phil Lakk wannabe clothes...

I just saw a commercial that had actors in it and was more than just a shot of Vegas and the word TILT on the screen. It looks absolutely pukingly disgustingly terrible. I guarantee it's going to get the wrong kind of attention drawn to poker and everything surrounding it.

every episode of street ball is 1/2 basketball and 1/2 a bunch of idiots talking about how they could make it in the NBA, but then them talking about how the completely blew their shot.

gets kinda old after a while.
