HBO’s Hard Knocks

HBO’s Hard Knocks was first featured in 2001. It is NFL’s docu-series for each team every season, in partnership with the film giant company. The series took a hiatus after its second year for five years and returned in 2007. It has covered most of the league’s teams extensively every season. In-depth documentation of what goes behind and what people see on the field is the best thing for fans. It’s a medium for them to connect with their favorite teams and players. It also is a source of inspiration for budding athletes looking to make it to the top. Hard Knocks this year features the Detroit Lions and the Arizona Cardinals. While the Lions aired earlier this season, Arizona made its debut for the first time on the show in November.
