A crucial Giants season could start on HBO.
The Giants are one of five teams eligible for “Hard Knocks”, the reality-style show that takes you behind the scenes of an NFL training camp. Most teams try to avoid being the focus of the program and there are rules in place that protect most teams from being eligible. The Giants just are not protected by any of them.
A team is not eligible for the show if it has a first-year head coach, a playoff berth in the past two seasons or has appeared on “Hard Knocks” in the past 10 years.
