Falcons Offered Spot On Hbo's Hard Knocks

[Gallagher]

Per NFL.com

HBO has asked the

Atlanta Falcons

to star in the next installment of "Hard Knocks,"

ESPN reported Wednesday

.

ESPN cited multiple sources in reporting the offer, though HBO declined to comment.

Produced by NFL Films and HBO, "Hard Knocks" is a weekly series that follows one NFL team through training camp and the preseason.

FoxSports.com reported earlier Wednesday that

HBO wanted the New York Jets to be featured on this year's show, but coach Rex Ryan is against the idea. The Jets were featured on the show in 2010.

A spokesman for the

Jacksonville Jaguars confirmed to " the Florida Times-Union that the Jaguars are interested in appearing on the show, but added, "we don’t know what HBO's plans are."

"Hard Knocks" didn't air in 2011 because of the NFL lockout.

This would be great because it would hopefully cause drama and corrupt their locker room and, we'd get to see more of the Panthers the weeks they play us. Thoughts?

My thought is, I have no interest in watching the boring ass falcons and won't be upgrading my cable package to get HBO to see them.

Maybe I'm missing something, but Hard Knocks would not be following Atlanta at the point in the season that we would play them.

They should offer it to the Saints*, it would be comedy gold.

[thunderraiden]

[Ivan The Awesome]

[SOJA]

HBO is probably kicking themselves they can't pick the Jets and Tebowmania

[philw5289]

they offered it to us last year

[PhillyB]

I hope they accept.

I'd rather it be Washington...especially with the addition of RG3. Would be good stuff.

I like the show, but my passionate hatred for the Falcons might keep me from watching.

[OchoNueve]

Hard Knocks is a great show regardless of what team is on it. I hate the Falcons, but I would watch the show even if they featured some sorry CFL team.
