But then again, when they seem to go out of the way to bring in people like Cromartie and Holmes, to add to a team with malcontents like Revis...led by a man like Rex Ryan, it seems to say a lot about the organization from the top and all the way down. It's like they're trying to out-thug the Bengals and Cowboys.

Cromartie has got a lot of babies which is his problem, but I don't think he's got in any off the field trouble. Holmes smokes weed. Big deal. It's the NFL. Every team has some guys with issues. Bringing in Larry Johnson after he's had a few runs in w/ putting his hands on women doesn't look too good either. And we've got the biggest malcontent in the NFL. If we had signed Holmes would it have bothered you? Knowing what I know now I think we should've tried.

Seems that show likes to film the teams with the most bad personalities...which is good strategically for an entertainment perspective on HBO.

Twice with the Cowboys, the Bengals, the Ravens (they had a bad image with Ray Lewis at one point), Chiefs with LJ...

Who's next? I think the Raiders are due...the Patriots would probably fit their template. Vikings would be interesting with the Favre perspective.

The Jets seem to have a solid group if you ask me. Who are their bad personalities? Looking at their roster they don't seem different than any other team.

No way the Patriots do it with how tight lipped Belicheat is on things.

LOL! I was thinking that too. I could see them agreeing but not letting the cameras past the parking lot, thta make for some exciting episodes.

I love Kris Jenkins....what a beast. All these guys are pretty solid guys who love what they do and work hard.

^ Yeah, that's a given. He can tape others...we can't tape him.

Besides, that show would blow his "Tom Brady is on injury report again this week" game.

I wouldn't rule out the Skins for next year.

Shahanan said he was offered it both with the Broncos and Redskins, and said no both times.

Billick said the reason he had the Ravens do it, and suspects other teams do it, was to show people all the hard work they have to go through and that they're not just a bunch of uneducated thugs smashing into each other (after seeing Cromartie struggled to remember his kids' names, that idea may have backfired for the Jets)

i'm sorry for my "great" post earlier in the thread. i was trying to express that i enjoy the show very much, and couldn't wait to see our skins on it.

i would not want the redskins to ever "host" this show. they show too much as far as behind the scenes.

Recorded this weeks episode of Hard Knocks and just finished watching it.

It is a good inside look into the players and some of the back ground info, but since I do not praticularly like the team on this years version, i have not watched.

After watching this episode, it just reminded me why I don't watch. If the Skins ever make it on, I will, but until then i will not watch this show.

BTW Jason Taylor, learn how to get to the damn stadium on your own. Following GPS blindly and not at least having some type of idea as to what you are doing is pretty dumb.

I don't understand why he just doesn't go with the rest of the team. Is he some type of prima donna or something?

Still it did seem kind of bad. I could have sworn it was telling him to turn left on the freeway.

He looks to me like a glorified AD/gym teacher working at a High School. The Revis thing drove me nuts. Laverneous we need to get rid of your $800k strategy so we can put that money aside to sign Mevis. Sorry but $800k is chump change in the NFL, especially in an uncapped year.

I know that GPSs tell yo to do some dumb stuff sometimes, but my point is if you are going to drive yourself. (love that car BTW) Learn how to do it with out the assist of your car. GPS is nice but I mean come on man, you are like 36-37 years old. Learn how to get there before you even get on the road.

Jason- there are these things out there called maps. They have lines on them that represent roads. You find the roads you need to go to to get to your destination. They are very easy to understand.
