Quote:LOL, and what makes you think the 90 or so guys that start on an NFL roster at the beginning of the year can handle any of that?

 

It seems like every third day there is an issue with an NFL player doing something dumb.

 

Now we're wrong because we think a show like Hard Knocks is a distraction to a football team.  Whats next?

 

Nobody is asking 90 guys to do anything. 1 man is going to have a show, he is the only one who has to do anything. If he allows himself to be distracted by it all, then he probably wont make the team and that will be his own fault.

 

3 the last 4 teams on Hard Knocks made the playoffs. The evidence strongly suggests its not that big of a deal.

 

Quote:And? There are multiple guys being selected for that part of the show each season. Not one person singled out to do the show. And the show is centered around football, not the other way around.

 

You can't have it both ways. Either a camera crew following you around at home as part of a reality TV show is a major distraction or it isn't. If it's not a distraction for multiple guys selected for a camera crew to follow them around to watch their daily lives as part of Hard Knocks, then how can it be different for Sam?

 

Just because they edit it together for a 1 hour show that focuses mainly on football, doesn't mean those cameras in those players lives are any less intrusive at the time than the ones that will follow Sam.
