Owners pass "Hard Knocks" rule
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap200...l-fall-meeting
The greatest sports-related program in television history just received assurance from the NFL that it will continue to air the show even if no team is interested in subjecting itself to the national spotlight. A source in the room told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport the league passed a rule Tuesday during the NFL Fall Meeting that will compel one team per year to participate in the HBO/NFL Films joint venture, "Hard Knocks." The league still will ask for volunteers. If one is not forthcoming, a team will be appointed. All organizations will be eligible with the exception of those that have a first-year head coach; teams that have made the playoffs in at least one of the last two seasons; and teams that have participated in the previous 10 seasons. This is a tacit acknowledgment from the NFL that the show's range and power are an invaluable asset to professional football, regardless of any perceived invasion of privacy. Fans will continue to revel in the now classic training-camp story lines, including the lovable underdog, coach tantrums, position battles and rookie hazing. I'm already looking forward to another rendition of Dan Hanzus' entertaining and all-encompassing "Hard Knocks" recaps. |

Please bring it back to KC. I can't believe that we had Hard Knocks and all we got was Brodie Croyle's wife and Damon "I was born with a vagina for a mouth" Huard.

"The greatest sports-related program in television history"
A little over zealous, are we?

I'm hoping to see a show that features the following:
- a veteran battling to come back from an injury. - the struggles of a high-round rookie. - a pitched battle for roster spots among fringe players - a battle for a starting position between an established but declining veteran and an ascending younger player Oh, wait. That's every team, every year.

It's the best one I've seen. Most realistic and uncensored.

Why does HBO only want shitty teams? I think some annually successful teams that a lot of people like such as the Patriots should also be compelled to do this.
In fact, the Patriots should get dicked with this next. **** you, Belichick and your dumbass Patriot Way. Throw away the blinds, because this time WE'RE spying on all your shit! |

I prefer to think of it as "trying".
