In the season 5 premiere of Ballers, titled "Protocol Is for Losers," we reunite with Spencer Strasmore (played by Dwayne Johnson) as he faces a new set of challenges in his quest to become a successful NFL agent. After making a splash in the industry by snagging the league's top client, Spencer now aims to become the go-to agent for all top players, which will require strategic maneuvering and savvy networking.

As the episode opens, we see Spencer interacting with some of his key clients, including a hot-shot quarterback named Travis (played by Russell Brand). Spencer takes him under his wing, aiming to train him not only in on-field performance, but also in the art of public speaking and media relations. We also see Spencer dealing with some of the fallout from his previous season, as some of his past business dealings have come back to haunt him.

Meanwhile, we meet a new character named Mo (played by Omar Miller), a financial advisor who is tasked with helping Spencer and his clients navigate the tricky waters of personal finance. As they work together to make smart investments and build their personal brands, Mo and Spencer develop a close friendship that is tested by outside forces.

Throughout the episode, we see Spencer and his team working on a number of high-profile deals, including a potential sponsorship with a lucrative sports drink company and a major TV appearance for Travis. However, they encounter obstacles at every turn, including pushback from an overtly conservative team owner and a tricky negotiation with a brash up-and-comer named Lance (played by Russell Wilson).

"Protocol Is for Losers" sets the stage for what promises to be another exciting season of Ballers, full of high-stakes deals, personal drama, and plenty of football action. With the show's signature mix of heart, humor, and intense competition, fans of the series are sure to be entertained and engaged throughout the season.
