Hard Knocks = Chucky and the Raiders

[Deus Irae]

The Oakland Raiders will be the subjects of this year’s Hard Knocks.

The NFL announced today that the NFL Films cameras will be in the Raiders’ camp for the show, which will air on HBO beginning August 6.

Raiders to appear on “Hard Knocks”

Correlation != causation, but I don't think the Hard Knocks team will ever win the Super Bowl (that year). This kinda confirms the Raiders as a mess of a franchise.

This is a great choice. I am excited to watch the bravado and paranoia of Gruden and hear the dumb platitudes he finds profound. Seeing him obsess over a Grinder who can't play and cutting a player at the same spot who can. Watching them justify their stupid personnel decisions. There's a non-zero chance the cameras will capture Richie Incognito committing a felony. We'll get some good images of Failson Mark looking schlubby in a golf cart, trying to position a hat on top of his mop. Antonio Brown will Facebook Live portions of practice because HBO is stealing his shine. Very excited for this.

There was no other choice. They're the perfect train wreck for HK. It will do great ratings.

First year I might actually watch because Gruden means it will be an entertaining disaster.

Will HBO open the show with blowing long grass admist a house for sale sign in Pittsburgh?
I'm really interested in how Carr comes across, is he a leader and is he as geeky as he seems from afar. Carr in 2019 is really at a career threshold as a 5 year 28 old starting QB who recently was ranked as the 29th rated 2018 NFL QB. Does he have the intestinal fortitude to rebound from a 51 sack season and with the help of the Browns return to a 30 TD QB. My uninformed opinion is that he's heading for Eason City and his best days are behind him. I always remember discovering Ryan Tannehill was a moron thanks to Hard Knocks so I wasn't caught off guard by his career implosion.

Watching Mike Mayock in that environment will be intriguing as hell.

Yes we can watch the dumpster fire in HD!

This is gonna be better than season 8 of GOT.

This is gonna be better than season 8 of GOT.

To be fair, watching a rerun of Jersey Shore while they do a monthly test of the Emergency Alert System is better than season 8 of GOT.

This might be the least surprising thing that will happen all year.

 

[Hyped]

Hmmm...never watched a single episode of HK nor one of those "All Or Nothing" series on Amazon Prime....but I am scheduled to binge watch GOT, Westworld, True Detective, and a few other HBO shows this summer...will give it a look if I hear of crazy camp AB stories....

This is gonna be better than season 8 of GOT.

Looking forward to Gruden mounted on his dragon, laying waste to Oakland's Landing, then flying off to Vegas.

John Gruden and Mike Mayock have never met a camera they did not like..

A Davis family move, any publicity is good publicity...

What is the over/under for how many times Gruden says "that guy"??...
