THE JETS SHOULD NOT BE ON “HARD KNOCKS”
Let me go on the record as saying I’m not a fan of the Jets appearing on HBO’s “Hard Knocks” this preseason. This can only be a distraction for an organization heading into a year where expectations are as high as they’ve ever been in my lifetime.
In any event, the AP has a story on the show today. HBO will air a 12 minute preview at 11 p.m. tonight and the show will begin on August 11, the first of five Wednesday night episodes.
The Jets seem more than willing to provide entertaining footage. This is all you need to know about the Jets mindset heading into the season:
“Rex Ryan lives for this,” said the President of HBO Sports, Ross Greenburg. “This isn’t about, ‘Oh, you can bring the cameras in.’ This is like he’s swinging the door open and waving everyone in. ‘Come on in! Let us show you what we do here.’ I’ve never seen this kind of enthusiasm for bringing the walls down and showing people how an NFL team works.”
This is not a good thing, Jets’ fans.
