Playmakers is a sports drama series by John Eisendrath and broadcast on ESPN between August 26 and November 11, 2003. Featuring an Ensemble Cast, the show followed a fictional American Football team, the Cougars, as they navigate professional and personal struggles both on and off the field.Despite critical acclaim and high ratings—drawing more viewers than ESPN's professional and college football coverage—the show was cancelled under pressure from the National Football League, which objected to the unflinching portrayal of the game's darker aspects. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed | |
| Playmakers / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: The NFL, assuming it's the league the Cougars belong to, is not mentioned by name. It is referred to simply as "the league". (Not that this saved the show from incurring the wrath of the NFL in real life.) | |

Newscaster Cameo | |
| Playmakers / int_86bbf6b5 | comment |
Newscaster Cameo: Albeit not a cameo, but a supporting role. Samantha is played by Thea Andrews, who at the time of the show's airing was a personality on ESPN's live broadcasts. | |

Groin Attack | |
| Playmakers / int_eaf5a1ac | comment |
Groin Attack: In a manner of speaking. In order to cheat the league's drug test, D.H. goes through a procedure to have clean urine injected into his bladder. It's as painful as it sounds. | |
