For man teams in the NFL, who gets chosen for the next season of HBO’s Hard Knocks is a game of ‘Not it.’ There are a handful of teams that have no choice in the matter. If they haven’t been chosen in the past ten years, they didn’t make the playoffs the past two years, and don’t have a new coach, they can’t refuse.
The Lions and Raiders are among the few teams who won’t be able to refuse HBO’s cameras this offseason. Lions head coach would just like to put it out there that the Raiders would make a great choice.
