Eastbound and Down: HBO Hits A Home Run Off Of Kenny Powers
Will Ferrell and Adam Mckay have delivered a 'wild pitch' to television this spring season. The new series "Eastbound and Down" premiered February 15th on HBO with its newest lovable loser, Kenny Powers. Powers, played by Danny Mcbride, (Tropic Thunder, Pineapple Express) was on his way to become one of the greatest relief pitchers in professional baseball . He had multi-million dollar deals, endorsements, a mind for victory, and an arm like a fucking cannon. But that all disappeared when his ego sped up and his fastball slowed down. He was tossed around the league for a few years until his arm completely gave out and the fans had finally given up on him. Powers returns to his home town to be a substitute gym teacher for the middle school he attended as a child. There's only one problem; he's crude, vulgar, politically incorrect, and has a drug/alcohol problem. But those types of antics are what makes the show great. The show airs on Sundays at 10:30 p.m. If you haven't already seen a preview, click the video below. "You're fuckin' out.."
E for effort... It's called proofreading.
