Dolphins Say 'yes' To Hbo's Hard Knocks

[4Corners]

Yeah the Jags may have been unwatchable.

[Johnny Rockets]

yawn

the dolphins were relevant when exactly?

Apparently everytime they faced the Panthers.

[rayzor]

can't see why anyone except for the most ignored teams with no future and no reason to be discussed would be interested in doing it.

[Inimicus]

wow... I knew HBO was having a hard time getting a team to agree to do the show, but... the Dolphins? really?

what story lines are they going to have, what personalities and stars are people tuning in to watch?

Dude...

You're talking about a nation so obsessed with a sport that even during the off season there are millions of people tuned into a league owned network showing "Best of..." and "Top 10..." shows and rebroadcasting games.

People will watch. If only because its new NFL content.

[Shufdog]

So Hard Knocks is going the comedic route this season?

At least Grits can fap to some behind the scenes Matt Moore action.

Grits is a Redskins fan, you might be thinking of TRD.

[Panthro]

It's more of a circle jerk

[X-Clown]

Ah, I didn't see this thread before I started the one in the NFL forum

[Black]

Pretty boring pick, but HBO will be able to make it interesting.

Hard Knocks should just go away. When you get to the point that the first eight teams you wanted tell you no then you've got a product that teams view as detrimental to their offseason and you're going to end up with a substandard show anyway.

Move on HBO

not millions.

people are watching, but nowhere that many.

hard knocks is a joke and ratings back it up as does the lack of interest from most teams in doing it.

fwiw, i saw this tidbit from a couple years ago...

HBO’s Hard Knocks sees ratings go up 37%

‘Hard’ numbers. HBO said the Jets ‘ version of “Hard Knocks” averaged 870,000 viewers Wednesday night, up 37 percent from last year’s premiere featuring the Bengals. Including the first replay of the show later that night, a total of 1.3 million people watched. An average of 2 percent of the 31 million homes with HBO watched the show nationally, a figure that nearly doubled to 3.9 percent in the New York area. — Newsday

Ah yes, you are correct. I got my trolls crossed.

[Dpantherman]

I was going to watch no matter who got it because its usually a good show.

[KendrickPanther]

Make this about Lauren Tannehill at the beach and I'm game.

I'd love to have the Panthers on hard knocks. I love football and I can't get enough. The onus is on the coaches and players to be mature and handle the situation appropriately. You really can't point to hard knocks and say "THATS why that team stunk"

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

Its football... Im all in!

Some of you guys must stare at yourselves in a mirror all day bc nothing else can entertain you. Matt Moore, training camp battles..its good tv or you can watch Duets.
