Hard Knocks for Bengals

The HBO show Hard Knocks has picked the team to document this season, and it’s the Bengals? What, the Bengals…for real? Yep, it’s the Bengals. When I first heard the news I was disappointed, but then I thought about it and adjusted to the idea of watching them this season being filmed. I would love to see how the Bengals high execs run the team the way they do. I mean have you seen their past draft picks and run-ins with the law (Chris Henry comes to mind)? It would be very interesting to see how everything gets handled in the front office.

Another thing that I would love to see is how the Chad Johnson and Bengals drama plays out on TV. Will he be there being as a good player on camera or will he be the Chad Johnson that’s upset and wants to get traded. Then the other intrigue of the show is seeing the rookies, especially the rookies on the verge of losing a spot to be on the roster. You kind of feel for certain guys who bust their butts to get the spot on the roster. It really sucks when some of them come short of their dreams. Also to note it will be interesting to see the Bengals draft picks in Andre Smith and Ray Maualuga working out and practicing and getting accustomed to the NFL. Then finally, I like seeing how these football guys are at home with their wives and kids. That is an aspect of their lives which many people don’t see. I would like to see Palmer at home relaxing with his wife or maybe see Coach Lewis spend some time with his kids (if he has any).
