The 2010 New York Jets were brash and colorful. They were unapologetic and provocative. They won a lot of games and ticked off a lot of people with their "swaggerlicious" attitude, as linebacker Bart Scott liked to call it. They were perfect for reality TV.
Thanks to HBO's "Hard Knocks" series, the world got a chance to see them behind the scenes in training camp. The current Jets, featured on the show this summer, will have a hard time living up to their loud and proud predecessors.
"The 2010 Jets changed the profile and the success of 'Hard Knocks' forever,'" said Patrick Kelleher, the executive producer of NFL Films.
