Hell has frozen over. The Bears will be on “Hard Knocks.”
Despite chairman George McCaskey’s long-standing opposition to appearing on HBO’s training camp documentary series, the Bears will be team featured. The NFL made the announcement Thursday afternoon.
The Bears will appear in five episodes beginning Aug. 6 at 8 p.m. and streaming each Tuesday through Sept. 3. The shows will stream on Max.
It’s easy to see the appeal for HBO. The Bears have rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, the No. 1 overall pick, and a team built to win this season.
