The Los Angeles Rams are this year’s subject of Hard Knocks, with the angle of showing how a team adjusts from moving from Missouri to glamorous Los Angeles. Additionally, the show has revealed how many players appear to shun basic science.
Nick Foles was waived by the Rams two weeks ago, bringing a fitting end to the legendary Foles-Sam Bradford trade that brought joy to literally no one. Hard Knocks, which is following the Los Angeles Rams this preseason, was in coach Jeff Fisher’s office for the phone call.
There are plenty of conspiracy theories surrounding the Rams’ selection of Michael Sam in the 2014 draft, all centering around the NFL’s desire to avoid the PR of watching the league’s first openly gay prospect go undrafted. But this is a new one.
Last season’s Hard Knocks brought us Vince Wilfork showin’ off that bod underneath some overalls, Brian Cushing chucking, and a solid Macho Man impression. The latest team to bring us training camp fights, barfs, and hopefully those two at the same time could be the New Orleans Saints. According to a report from Pro…
Vince Wilfork is great and I love him, which means I don’t even care that this moment from last night’s episode of Hard Knocks was probably cooked up by some HBO producer. Just look at this man!
This week’s episode of Hard Knocks captured linebacker Brian Cushing barfing during practice. He barfed four times in one sitting.
A new season of HBO’s Hard Knocks is upon us, and amidst the expected f-bombs and sideshows has emerged a gem: Texans assistant strength coach Sean Hayes pulling off a marvelous “Macho Man” Randy Savage impersonation.
According to multiple reports, the Texans will appear on this season’s edition of training-camp documentary Hard Knocks.
Thanks to new rules instituted after HBO and the NFL had difficulty finding a team to appear on Hard Knocks, the league can now force teams to take part if they meet certain criteria. Nine teams fit the bill: The Browns, Redskins, Giants, Buccaneers, Vikings, Texans, Rams, Titans, and Jaguars. Most of those,…
The Atlanta Falcons announced today that they will be featured on this year's Hard Knocks, which comes as something of a surprise.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
After two seasons of scrambling to secure a team, the NFL added a new wrinkle to this year's Hard Knocks selection process: The league can compel teams that meet certain conditions to appear on the HBO/NFL Films documentary series. That opens the possibility of a marquee franchise being forced into opening its…
After the NFL and HBO had a devil of a time finding a team to agree to be on Hard Knocks, owners passed a new rule. Now the league can force a team to admit HBO cameras into their training camp unless that team a)has a new head coach, b)made the playoffs in one of the previous two seasons, or c)already appeared on…
After peaking with the Jets, Hard Knocks has had a hell of a time finding teams to go under the documentary microscope for training camp. After a string of refusals the 2012 edition settled for the boring Dolphins, and though the Bengals stepped up this year, it was another forgettable season. But thanks to a new rule…
This, from Funny or Die, is the first episode of Little Knockers, a Hard Knocks parody that gives us what we've always wanted: a Rex Ryan-inspired football coach screaming and cursing at a bunch of 11-year-old boys. It's worth watching just for the chance to see Jerry from Parks and Rec point at kids and call them…
Newly minted Bengal James Harrison got more than he bargained for when he signed with Cincinnati—the Bengals agreed to be this year's Hard Knocks goldfish. And he doesn't like it.
It's all falling apart for Chad Johnson. On Saturday, an arrest on domestic violence charges after allegedly headbutting his wife. On Sunday, he was cut from the Dolphins, possibly the last NFL team that was going to give him a chance. But undrafted rookie or 11-year veteran, the end always comes the same way: a…
HBO's Hard Knocks has to maintain a balance between access and secrecy. The fans get to spend a few hours with the players and coaches in unusual settings; the coaches go along with the cameras but still get to obscure their plays and play calls from the public. Everybody wins all the time. Well, almost all the time.
