The series first aired on January 13 2005, and is the second original drama series from ESPN, following "Playmakers". It was created by Brian Koppelman and David Levien, who co-wrote the poker-themed feature film Rounders. The Black Crowes song "Remedy" was used in the show's commercial promotions before its premiere in January 2005.
