HBO’s Hard Knocks is Finally Coming to Denver! sort of…

Josh Temple — Thu, 08 May 2008 12:00:32 +0000

It looks like HBO’s acclaimed football reality series Hard Knocks is coming back again this training camp. The bit of surprising news coming out this week is that the show is covering the Dallas Cowboys again for the second time in it’s short four seasons (three aired). How does this affect us Bronco fans? The Cowboys and Broncos are scheduled to work out together at Dove Valley for three days prior to their August 16th preseason matchup in Denver. So it’s almost a sure bet we will get to see behind the scenes footage at the Broncos Headquarters even if it is mostly from the Cowboys point of view.

An interesting side plot to watch for will be how the two teams react to each other after last summer’s workouts together in Texas. The Broncos suffered multiple injuries during the long workouts and scrimmages with Dallas. If it gets to be anything like the regular workouts with the Vikings and Chiefs documented in the show last season, things could get scrappy fast. Hard Knocks is produced by NFL FIlms for HBO. I would recommend watching this if you’re any kind of football fan, it’s fantastic.

“The series follows a select National Football League team through its training camp and provides an in-depth perspective of the team’s preparation for the upcoming season. The series is described as one of the fastest turnaround reality series in television history.The series not only covers the team’s preparations, but also provides a viewers with team inside jokes and pranks, players’ family matters, and position battles.”
