Raiders owner tries laughable hard sell to avoid ‘Hard Knocks’

The last thing the Raiders need is a distraction. Or another distraction, at least.

Raiders owner Mark Davis pleaded his case to keep Oakland off of HBO’s “Hard Knocks” for training camp, as most consider them the overwhelming favorite.

“It would be disruptive,” Davis said at the NFL annual league meetings, according to ESPN. “We’ve got a lot of business to take care of, get ready for the season. I appreciate that they might think we’d be great TV, but we got something to accomplish.”

What the Raiders have accomplished thus far is producing a team that is must-see TV.
