No.  I think they had a problem with Gatorade sponsoring them or something like that.

If I remember correctly, it was something about the NFL threatened Gatorade that if they kept sponsoring that show they (the NFL) were going to find a different sponsor.  Supposedly because Playmakers gave football a bad image or some shit...as usual, it's all about money and greed.

But then again, it might've been the NFL threatened ESPN to remove it (the NFL) from ESPN. 

I'll try and dig up a link.

It was the No Fun League rearing its ugly head once again. It was a good show, especially Omar Gooding's character.
Being a LAKER is a privilige. Unfortunately some "Lakers" have forgotten that.
