Mark Wahlberg, Roger Goodell and 'Ballers' - an unlikely duel (Shutdown Corner)

The second season of the HBO show “Ballers” premiered on Sunday night, which of course means appearances by those tied to the show, like series star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and executive producer Mark Wahlberg.

Johnson plays Spencer Strasmore, a retired defensive lineman who played for the Miami Dolphins and has become a financial advisor in his post-playing career. The first season of the show featured cameos from New York Giants’ receiver Victor Cruz, Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs, Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Jared Odrick and others.
