Hard Knocks, the weekly documentary show that follows an NFL team through training camp, will focus this year on the Dallas Cowboys, CBS 11 in Dallas is reporting.
The show will apparently continue to be produced by NFL Films and shown on HBO.
Hard Knocks began in 2001, focusing on the Baltimore Ravens’ training camp and then focused on the Cowboys the following year. In 2007 it followed the Kansas City Chiefs’ camp.
Storylines the show is likely to focus on for this year’s version of the show include the hands-on approach of owner Jerry Jones, how rookie running back Felix Jones adjusts to his first camp, restricted free agent running back Marion Barber’s contract negotiations and the relationship between wide receiver Terrell Owens and quarterback Tony Romo.
The Cowboys’ training camp will open in late July in Oxnard, California.

I liked that Hard Knocks w/ the Kansas City Chiefs. I saw Bobbie Sippio play for the Chicago Rush (who almost made the team). That guy can play and should make the team as a receiver at some point.

Oxnard California. For those of us on the east coast, exactly how far is that from the Bunny Ranch in Vegas? And Oxnard to Cabo with Jessica in tow is just about what………. little over an hour in a G4? I’m sick of the Cowboys and their drama but this will make for must see TV this season.

I LOVE Football but that show is an absolute TRAINWRECK. Watching Bernard Pollard “showing how it’s done in Ft. Wayne” (disgusting male booty shakeing in the LOCKER ROOM?) was one of the lowest points of my life. How will Pac and TO contain themselves? The more I see NFL players off the feild the less I like them. Kind of like actors. Although seeing Herm hold that first grade welcome to camp sign was hilarious. ( What a duesch bag)

looks like it’s time for a new round of plastic surgery for Michael Jackson… I mean Jerry Jones.
Get those scars healed up before your big show Jerry!

After they followed The Ravens in ‘01, this show went downhill.

The messed up part is that Wackman could potentially get significant airtime. Hopefully it involves Marion Barber mashing his head into the turf as he runs him over.

would be nice to see a new team… plus interesting coaches make the show better. Herm Edwards/Bran Billick good, Del Rio/Camp (Campo was AWFUL) bad. Wade Phillips prob gonna fall in the later category. How bout Tampa, Pats, Raiders, Giants or Saints. All would be better.

A criminal element team, past, present and future as long as the team is owned by the king of criminal element Jerry “Springer” Jones.

Dudes, it’s been a long time for the Cowboys but they’ve probably STILL got more playoff wins than your team has playoff GAMES (wins AND losses combined).

“Storylines the show is likely to focus on for this year’s version of the show include…the relationship between wide receiver Terrell Owens and quarterback Tony Romo.”
Didn’t Romo take T.O. to Mexico right before the Playoffs last year?
No, wait…Romo took the equally unattractive Jessica Simpson.
My bad.

Umm…can the folks posting to this site learn how to spell “douche” bag?
For what it’s worth, this train-wreck of a team - just loaded with DOUCHE bags - should make for epic and riveting television. Multiple shots of Jessica’s fun bags can’t hurt either. Setting the TiVo and getting my popcorn ready. Could this show turn into the reality version of “Playmakers”?

Good to hear. Hard Knocks is to teams like the Madden cover is to players. Looks like it’s gonna be 13 years and counting this season Cowboy fans since ya’ll won a playoff game.
