- HBO announced on Thursday during a press conference at Paul Brown Stadium that the Bengals will be this year's team for the five-week “Hard Knocks: Training Camp” series. The first episode will air Aug. 12 at 10 p.m.
“Hard Knocks is in our roots. We like to think of it as one of the first reality shows in television,” said HBO sports president Ross Greenburg. “I think if you look throughout the history of this show you will see that it's evolved, it’s real. It’s a blank sheet of paper at the beginning and then the stories evolve as the shows evolve.”
This is the fifth year of the series -- Baltimore was the first team to appear in 2001, followed by Dallas in 2002. There was a hiatus before the series picked up again with Kansas City in 2007 and the Cowboys last year. The team does not receive any extra money for appearing on Hard Knocks. All 32 teams receive money from HBO's contract with the NFL. Link | |
