BALLERS hits the sports topics making big news each week with
fresh perspectives and plenty of trash talking from the hosts
and guest athletes. From the comedic outbursts of Torry, to
the insider's look that Salley and Douglas provide, the talk
is loud, insightful and filled with commentary unlike that on
any other sports show. With special features like "You
Trippin'" and "If I Were You", the bullsh*t flag and gossip in
the girls' booth with co-host Claudia Jordan, BALLERS kicks it
up a notch while other sports shows are toning it down. From
the NBA to the NFL to the black rodeo, BALLERS is there for
the serious issues, outrageous plays and everything in between
--- all hosted within a sexy night club setting.
