Cleveland Browns A Candidate For Home Box Office's "Hard Knocks"
-
Hi. Browns fans. I just heard on The Jim Rome Show that Home Box Office will need an NFL team to film and tape for their "Hard Knocks" sportsumentary series this year, Usually HBO selects an NFL team that was a non-playoff team, but also an NFL team that had yet to appear in "Hard Knocks." Hopefully with someone luck, HBO does not select the Browns to film them through the draft, OTA's, training camp, and follow the players and staff in their everyday lives off the field, No Browns on HBO,

It could well happen. Other non-playoff teams that might be interesting basically all have new head coaches. Maybe the Jets? Can't see the bears being interesting. Colts I guess. Cards just did a whole year of the amazon show.

Please, Lord, no... not 2017... simply too important, too pivotal to inject reality TV into the mix.

No this could work out really well. Think about the ratings when JM comes back out of rehab. one week, beats out the other QB's during the rest of the shows and then leads the Browns to the Playoffs.

Revived this thread to handicap the options HBO has to "draft" a team...
Here are the eight NFL teams eligible for HBO's 'Hard Knocks' in 2017
- Cleveland Browns
- Baltimore Ravens
- Tennessee Titans
- Indianapolis Colts
- Philadelphia Eagles
- Chicago Bears
- New Orleans Saints
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers
A few initial thoughts...- TV market size would favor Bears and Iggles.
- Iggles have added interest in the form of Wentz.
- Titans have the "team-on-the-rise" look that's attractive.
- Browns have the owner looking to rekindle fan interest factor, one of the more charismatic HCs and a dynamic, cussing DC who links this coming and the prior season's shows.
I've got a bad feeling about this...

I'd forgotten they were on hard knocks last year - there's presumably a lot of video of Williams interacting with his players there. Might have to re-watch what was by far the least entertaining series of hard knocks I've seen.

Wouldn't say "a lot"...
I remember a clip a week or so of him cussing the shit out of his D room... and not much else.
But then we've already established the state of my short-term memory...

I hope it's the Browns' turn on HK. After a miserable *almost* winless season, full of jokes and ridicule, a look behind the curtain would be just what the organization needs...... If they look inept and disorganized, well then that's on them and they would deserve every ounce of criticism that followed.
However, if they look like they know what they're doing (my guess), then it might just help change the culture from outside the building and all across the country.

Can't argue with that reasoning.

I can... but I've got shit to do...

DB actually did raise some positive possibilities, but the one overriding thing might be Hue's resistance. This could well be his make or break season coming up. I could see him imploring Jimmah to not step up this year, but wait for 2018 after our trajectory changes.
Which brings us back to the "HBO draft"... Are we really that attractive compared to each of the other seven candidates?

Hue Jackson wants no part of Hard Knocks this year: 'OMG, I'm not interested in that' ...#Browns won't volunteer

2018 is the year after we follow up 1-15 with 7-9 including a couple big wins that gives us that "team on the rise" designation.
