“Hard Knocks” Tried to Run it Back

With training camp around the corner, many are wondering who will be featured on this year’s

HBO documentary series “Hard Knocks”. While no official announcement has been made, it was

reported by The Detroit News that the show inquired about repeating the show with the Detroit Lions.

It’s not hard to see why. Last year’s season proved one of the most entertaining to date and had

many jumping on the Lions, MCDC, Brad Holmes bandwagon. I mean, come on, the dynamics of the

staff, the rookie story lines, and overall team heart could be felt across the country. And, to top it all off,

the Lions late season turnaround added that extra sparkle the storyline we were all rooting for.

According to Team President, Rod Wood, the team is, “Probably going to take the year off”. And,

in this gal’s humble opinion, that’s the right decision. Hear me out. All eyes are on the Lions this season

anyways. Favored among many to win the NFC North, by some to seal the deal with their first playoff

victory since the ’91 season, and by a few to make it all the way (gosh I can’t even bring myself to type

the name of the Big Game because of my superstitions), they’ve already got A LOT of expectations to

live up to. So, it’s time to keep their heads down and get to work with no distractions.

This season is the continuation of their story. So much on the line. And I think they’ve got the

best chance they’ve had in quite some time. How will the rest of the story be written? Well, we’ll all just

have to stay tuned to find out. (And keep our fingers crossed so hard it freaking HURTS) *whispers*

please, please, please, please, please, please.
