I'll second that. Hard Knocks might be the only show on HBO I watch in an entire year, but I still want to watch it.

It was still good tv and all and I'm going to watch it....but it seemed like the other ones had story lines and more characters. Joe Phelbin is just so damn boring. The Jets and Cowboys????...now that was great TV.

Not a Game of Thrones or Boardwalk Empire fan? Both are pretty strong series (I have to catch them on DVD, unfortunately).

Oh come on. A three-way (kind of) QB competition? Long shots to make the team? Hot wives all around? HBO? I'm not seeing a downside here. Chad Johnson is washed up, but that gives them a chance to tell a redemption story. Everyone loves that.

I feel terrible for that poor guy (a guard) who dyed his hair before Day 1 of training camp only to get cut before practice. Hope they bring him back at some point.

Nope, haven't seen either. I've heard good things though.

Ah, thanks. Hopefully they wait to add a photo until that dye job grows out.

The thing is they bring in Steinbach (sp) who was out of football for a year. That just shows the cold side of the NFL. The guy didn't even get to put on his pads. Glad he got picked up.

Agreed. My wife loves the show but she can't handle the cut scenes (has to leave the room).

PK is usually on top of things but I have to question him a bit here. Is RG3 ready to start day 1? Sure he's going to have some rookie struggles, but I think we'll do a good job at giving him plays he's comfortable running and also using the ground game to support him. To suggest that he perhaps shouldn't start the season is a little silly to me.

He also says "A few days ago the Redskins moved Paul from wide receiver to tight end."

Come on PK this move was announced months ago.

He's going to struggle early and so is the offense. This is why I see us winning 4-6 games. But by the 10th-11th game, if he's still playing, I want so see him having some Cam Newton type of performances.

Yeah I acknowledge he may have some struggles early on. But should we keep him on the bench til halfway through the season as PK hints at? I sure as hell don't think so.

Especially since the alternative is Wrecks.
