Though it gets a little hokey at times listening to Michael Irvin bark cliched phrases at this group of almost-weres, the inherent drama in a real, NFL-worthy training session is hard to fake. Make that, vomiting after running several 110 yard sprints is hard to fake.
You can tell that over time, the defensive back/wide receiver rivalry is going to get a little old, but the puking, well, the puking can't really ever get old. The constant mentioning of the Dallas Cowboys, however, is old already.
In the first episode, Stephen Andrews, a 2006 College of New Jersey graduate, was the first to get the line, "Maybe you can play for somebody, but it won't be for Dallas." Ouch. Stephen was a defensive back who claimed he didn't perform well enough at the NFL combine, hence why he's not in the league. More painful than watching Andrews get kicked off the show is reading the article on NJ.com, in which Andrews has already been through the show but is not allowed to tell the paper his result. The upbeat nature of it kills you once you know he was the first one canned.
