This show hasn't been good in a while but maybe Rodgers will deliver some of his trademark wacky hijinks to keep us entertained.

First episode was a lot of fun (I'm obviously biased), but seemed a little more...broad strokes than past Hard Knocks? It didn't have the traditional focus on fringe players or other guys further down on the roster. But maybe the first episode of this year's version was always going to focus a ton on Aaron Rodgers to get people interested, and then they'll do the normal Hard Knocks storylines in later episodes.

The show would be better if for even one season they showed a team anyone cared about. It feels like a Jets/Cowboys/Bengals rotation with a smattering of bottom tier teams inbetween. And by a team anyone cares about I mean a team I care about.

If you think people don't care about the Jets this year then lol (Hard Knocks might still suck though tbf)

Ill read up on it edit - looks like docu work is exempt so this technically is not violating the strike, just like doing commercials arent. bows1 fucked around with this message at 16:06 on Aug 10, 2023 |

How is nobody talking about Nathaniel Hackett being obsessed with Austin Powers Goldmember and calling the Red Zone the "Gold Zone" and showing clips of Austin Powers Goldmember every week and explaining how Goldmember has golden genitals and generally talking about all the other stuff that Goldmember does?

The “Mahomes is very good at football” segments got old for me pretty quickly. I liked the Mariota storyline a lot, seeing the other end of the spectrum with a dude barely hanging on in the league and all the poo poo he has to deal with was compelling. The Cousins parts confirm everything you’ve ever suspected about him being a serial killer. Overall it was a fine show to have on while doing something else Agree the Manziel doc was very good Pain of Mind posted:The show would be better if for even one season they showed a team anyone cared about.

The Pats could be eligible next year for literally the first time ever which would be kind of an lol. Would be “interesting” to see how they put it together with Belichick being openly hostile and telling players and staff they are not allowed to even acknowledge that a film crew is present. Obviously the rules of the show are such that it’s almost always going to be a poo poo team. Or in some cases the Chargers, in a pathetic bid to get anyone in LA to admit they exist.

Finally saw episode one. They've turned this show into the theater of the uplifting and motivational. Just nothing but positive energy and happiness. Zach Wilson is a 7 seconds to throw the ball guy so maybe aaron rodgers can teach him something. He seems a little dumb

It was definitely light on content and high on vibes. I assume we’ll get more of the traditional camp narratives in the next episode, but who knows, maybe this kind of vapid stuff is what Woody wants.

# ? Aug 15, 2023 07:18 |
I've actually never watched Hard Knocks, just never got around to it That was obviously a mistake because I'm loving this poo poo. Not even a Jets fan and I kinda don't like Rodgers but this is all really cool.

Saleh taking the offensive line to the woodshed was great. Rodgers and Becton was a cool moment too. I also feel like you can tell just how broken Wilson is/has been by the way the coaches talk to him before games. It’s still a pretty weird Hard Knocks though. There isn’t really a focus on specific players, it’s just sort of highlights from Jets training camp. Which is fine, I guess.

I think having an unwilling participant with editorial control is always going to make it team friendly. The Jets being unwilling to show cut day conversations also sort of removes the incentive to follow bubble players around and show their backstories/family situations.

I think Doltos said it in another thread but professional magicians are really incredible. I’ve gone to a couple shows in Vegas where we all left going “welp I guess magic is real”. Like obviously not but good luck spotting the lie. This is separate from whether this makes for good football show content
