Looking forward to the Hard Knocks episode where Schoen and Daboll’s wives go to lunch with their realtor to sell their houses because of Daniel Jones.

Should have seen him before the makeover.

The Giants investing so much money in him is funnier than the Eagles paying Carson Wentz

Random comments on Bears episodes...

Everything involving Willams seems forced.  He's not charismatic.  He slouches in important 1:1 or 2:1 meetings w/ coaches.  Seems like he'll flounder at any setback.  QB2, QB3, and QB4 are more interesting and compelling people than Williams.

Rome and Kmet are interesting folks - more time should be spent there.  

The scene with Moore's $102mm extension was odd.  He seemed disinterested.  Everyone's body language was "off".  And it seemed like they were extending him 1 year early and for crazy money.  I guess I do not understand the NFL salary story any more :)

   

Man I feel old. Second time in two weeks every person in that auditorium knew every word to the song and I had zero idea what it was.

No. I made it 5 minutes this week and I said you know, I’d rather be sleeping. So I shut it off and went to bed. 

Much better episode this week.  They figured out Eberflus is a bore and have largely cut him out.  Tyler Bagent will someday be a starting QB in the NFL.  Aussie punter was interesting.  Caleb “I never feel pressure” Williams is an interesting cat who carries his stuff in an expensive purse.

Here’s a fantasy conundrum:  which Bears WR scores the most points this year?  Odunze, DJ Moore, or Keenan Allen?  I honestly couldn’t even guess.

C'mon man, this is SO Chicago. We got a QB, we got a Coach! This is the year!

Liev Schreiber: The quarterback... wore nail polish. While 'Flus did a makeover to his looks, the look in the field hasn't changed.

I wouldn't bet against Keenan Allen.  But damn, that's a strong WR room.

Ain’t fucking with Papa Bagent.
Height difference between P & K was funny.
Incredible lack of self-awareness by Simone. 

If you can find the full clip of the old man with Peliserio on NFL Network it is hilarious TV. He’s not just a badass but really good on TV too.

I can’t deal with Caleb Williams shrugs, bad posture, and smirks. I’m out. 

Caleb is so dry, boring, and uninspiring, I bet he’s the one who told Lincoln Riley that brisket looked delicious.

I like the other 2 for FF. I think DJ is the primary and Rome is very talented and much cheaper than Keenan. 

Noticed someone caught themselves mid-cuss word the other night, now we know why.

If there's one thing that "Hard Knocks" is known for, it's the profanity. Not only does the show give you an inside look into how NFL teams operate, but it also gives you an inside look into how players and coaches act on the field. 

For instance, one of the most famous clips in "Hard Knocks" history came in 2010 when Rex Ryan, who was coaching the Jets at the time, dropped multiple F-bombs during a speech that didn't end until he eventually told the team that it was time to "go eat a goddamn snack" 

Although the show has been laced with profanity over its 23-year run, you won't see any curse words for the Bears' version of the show and that's actually by design. 

The director of 'Hard Knocks,' Shannon Furman, recently did an interview with CHGO and she was actually asked about the lack of curse words this season. As it turns out, HBO decided to cut out all the profanity out of respect to the McCaskey family, which owns the Bears. 

"I'll be honest, this team curses much less than any other team I've been around, but it is out of respect for the McCaskey family," Furman said of why the curse words have been taken out of the show, via Bearswire. "It's something that they don't do and wouldn't want to see it, so it's kind of a decision that was made out of respect for them letting us in their house and wanting to be respectful to them."

Finally watched the last episode and the Adrian Colbert part was pretty damn emotional. What a cool dude he is

Eberflus has cancelled his MAX subscription.

Only if his wife did it.  He'd fuck it up on his own.

Watching episode 2. The cancer kid's mom is a smokeshow. I am guessing her husband is now doing Jamarr Chase cuck stuff.

Hard Knocks: Josh Allen Edition

Any of y’all got kids that ride those electric scooters? Little dude ran by me & the mutt the other day, didn’t do anything wrong, but I was shocked by the speed. He was fucking movin’.

I have an ebike and it will do over 20.

Those scooters are fucking everywhere in my burb with the kids riding them. Not a fan, it seems very likely that it's a matter of time before locally I'm hearing about a fatality of some kid on one of these things.

It’s crazy this used to be must watch TV, now there are so many different NFL documentaries, it’s kind of fallen off. But I just finished episode 1, and it’s still the best NFL doc. The Bills are just so damn easy to root for, I won’t be mad if they win it all. 

Nothing too exciting thus far but I'm still liking it. I wonder why they didn't profile Keon Coleman. He is hilarious.

They aren't spending much time with the rookies this year, which is always a really good part of the show.

Marv Levy is 100, holy shit.

For those unaware, Terry Pegula’s wife suffered a debilitating illness, you won’t see her on camera. Their daughter is currently #4 in the world in tennis.
