We all knew it was coming.
Cut day. The most dramatic day of the year was saved for the finale of this years football drama on HBO’s Hard Knocks.
While this week’s episode lacked some of the real-world elements that gave other installments of this season a certain sheen, the capstone felt the most normal. There was no talk of testing, strife, unrest or any of the other harsh realities of… reality. Just people scared to tell Sean McVay how to properly wear a mask, and McVay cutting said people, nose exposed.
The cutting episode always has the same arc: we see the rookies putting in extra work to make the cut.
