Chadwiko Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 A trusted source has told Redskins Capital Connection that whilst the Browns do remain the favored choice for HBO, if the NFL grants Cleveland a special exemption, HBO has nominated the Washington Redskins as their second choice. Full story here: http://redskinscapitalconnection.com/source-redskins-are-hbos-hard-knocks-backup-plan/ What do you guys think? Would you be happy or unhappy to see the Skins featured on Hard Knocks?

ExoDus84 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 As a fan, I'd love to see some behind the scenes stuff, and a more intimate look at a lot of the players. On the flip side, I don't want distractions for the guys out there. Having a bunch of camera crews everywhere has got to be a distraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Harris Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 They might be overblown but i still don't like it. But you bet I'll be watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Felix Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I wouldn't care. The Hard Knocks is a curse thing is dumb to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Would be pretty cool if we were on Hard Knocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaRonDontLikeUgly Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 In the past I have been against the idea of bringing Hard Knocks to D.C, but this year I'm not going into the season with my usual inflated-expectations of greatness. Let the cameras roll baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cakmoney61 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 After a 4-12 season last year, I say no. If they have a winning record this season, I would say yes if the opportunity presented itself next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Normally I would say its a distraction and not good for a team but we suck every year so I guess it couldn't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo-toni Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Yeah, I agree with Mojo. And it might reveal just how stupid some people are. As in, they are who we thought they were.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSO Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Selfishly? Would LOVE to watch it. Dislike everything else about it, though. And the nitpicking that will go on here... ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I don't get HBO, so...I can't watch it. But no. Rather they didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve09ru Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Yeah if this thing happens I would take a little vacation (self-ban) from here for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carex Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I hope the Skins never feature on Hard Knocks, but then I want a team that's every bit as boring as Gibbs 1 was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyvern Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 No! The team doesn't need the distraction, or the media glare. ...And how long before you get the questions about the name of the franchise, or some other media exploitation? This is the year the team is supposed to be settling in with the new system, new coaches, etc. Why add this wild-card factor, simply so HBO can claim higher ratings? I'm surprised the franchise is even entertaining the idea; I see no upside in allowing this media intrusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I'm with the masses. Don't need the circus to come to town. McCloughan has done a good job creating a serious tone. Hollywooding up training camp even if it's just due to the presence of cameras is not what this team needs at this moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiv Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Smells like a team name controversy trap. Then again, I feel super distanced from this team. I don't know as much about the players as I did ten years ago, would help me get caught up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan since a Fetus Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Well, it would be the first time a team was on Hard Knocks and won the SuperBowl the same year. Actually, I don't like it. leave our guys alone. The media and fans already get out of hand with every hiccup, burp, or fart they smell. It would only be that times ten fold if we are on there.

hail2skins Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 After a 4-12 season last year, I say no. If they have a winning record this season, I would say yes if the opportunity presented itself next year. I sort of take the opposite approach. If the Skins are going to be required to be on the show at some point, maybe its better to do it during a relatively low expectation year rather than one when we're projected to contend.

It's obligatory? Or voluntary? If obligatory, than I concur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Injury Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I do not believe the presence of cameras should distract a professional athlete given that they are A) at work, B ) used to the media 8 months a year, and C) perform in front of 80,000 person crowds with camera's everywhere 20 weeks out of the year. You should easily be able to manage practice, learn the system, and also see a person with a camera, or give your story, or debrief for an interview. Let's not kid ourselves, it's not like these guys follow players around and call them names, or call meetings to a halt, or try to film you in the bathroom. ...that said, I wouldn't call all of the players in the NFL "professional..." So, I can't speak on the loss of function a team might experience, but I'd personally love to watch it.
