HBO's Hard Knocks is Awesome!

You know its finally football season when its time to put HBO Hard Knocks on your Tivo's season pass. Ahhhhhhhhhhh, finally. For those who don't follow the show, Hard Knocks is a reality show with the exception that its based on reality. Not since the Baltimore Ravens training camp have the players been so interesting. Think about it-Romo, TO, Pacman Jones, Tank Johnson, Jerry Jones, and the dude thats evidently the coach who does nothing, Wade Phillips. Episode 1 was so brilliant that even had my wife watched the show and made comments like, "TO's body is sick. Who is this Jerry Jones guy and why does he look like an alien? Tank Johnson and Adam Jones sure seem like nice guys". Absolutely brilliant. Alright here are my quick thoughts.

1. The Bears are to the Cowboys like Indiana Hoosiers Football is to Ohio State Football. I know HBO is just hyping them up, but the Cowboys look like they got their act together.

2. TO is unbelievable. I have never been a fan of the guy, but I must admit that I'm starting to fall for the guy. No homo of course. He's funny and unbelievably athletic. At one point he caught a simple post route for a TD and effortlessly slammed in a dunk on the goal post. He's just freaky.

3. Wade Phillips and Lovie Smith are twins. They both don't seem to add any value to their team. If Bears fall flat on their ass this year, can we go out and get Jason Garret the Cowboys' offensive coordinator? He actually looks like he knows what he is doing.

4. Jerry Jones is both the best and worst thing about the cowboys. You can tell this guy simply wants to win. He does a great job of getting talent and putting his team in a position to win. But at the same time, he's his own worst enemy. He has way too much control over the football side of things. Why is this guy making the final call on draft day or cutting a player? I know he's the owner. But wouldn't they be better served having a football guy making those decisions?

5. Adam Jones and Tank Johnson actually do look like nice guys. That there my friends is the power of television.

Thats all I got for now. I can't wait till next Sunday when Jerry Jones will presumably waive half of the team.
