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 thought they were going to be featured on “Americas Most Wanted”? Pacman or Tank must have “shot” that down.

Big distraction. Has any team made the post season after being on Hard Knox? I am pretty sure Balt was after they won the SB. KC showed how much they stink from top to bottom last year.(I quit watching after said Pollard insodent). I really don’t remember who else has been featured. Anyone? Thanks.

A good show that makes training camp fun some how fun to watch. Yes, it would be interesting if they had done Miami or N.O. or my Patriots, but the Boys should put on an interesting show.
Brodie Croyle’s wife should tryout for QB. Insert joke about ball handling skills.

The KC version last year was the worst one yet. The cinematography took a very strange turn to the dramatic, which sucked out a lot of the personality. The players didn’t help. Herm was great, but what a collection of stiffs! Siragusa was great for the Ravens. Joe Zelenka for the Jags got more face time than any long snapper in history, and rightfully so. But on the Chiefs, we got Brucie… I mean, Boomer Grigsby.

Might as well have the Cowboys….is there a more entertaining team in all of sports? I think not.
I only hope Pac-Man is re-instated.

hey bubba to be considered a winner, the team has to actually WIN in the playoffs. The Cowboys past means as much to everyone else as the Jets SB win means to you suckboy fans. Try winning something this decade then talk

T.O. PacMan. Now just trade for Ocho and this will be a summer blockbuster.

Wouldn’t the Raiders or Cardinals be perfect for this show? Oakland has a crazy old lunatic owner that might fire their head coach at any moment. Also, they have a 300 lb. quarterback, a WR with two wooden legs, the biggest OL bust since Tony Mandrich, a crazy CB, and a stable of about 10 running backs…
On the other hand, Arizona has the best QB competition in the league, two of the best WRs that don’t get enough national attention (except for those who play fantasy foozball), and an outspoken, washed up running back.

Now that Pac Man and Tank Johnson along with a few other undesirables are on the Cowboys wouldn’t the proper title for the show be “Cops”?

You guys must be Eagle fans with all of that “this decade” talk. If the past is the past and shouldn’t be considered, then all of the past should be the past and shouldn’t be considered. Actually I think that helps Eagles fanbois out a LOT.

Bucco, Oxnard’s about an hour north of LA. Nice place, rich people with boats live there.
As for this choice, clearly the Hard Knocks people want to see Pacman clubbin’ in Hollywood. Let the hijinks ensue, especially once Chris Henry shows up! The best show on TV just got better! Here’s hoping Switzer drops by.

13 pro-bowlers, and that brought them what? a first round (to them) playoff exit thanks to the Giants. That would be the Giants that finished 2nd (behind the cowgirls) in the NFC East. The Giants who lost to the Cowgirls twice last year and the Giants who only had little ol Eli Manning as their QB, not the second coming as Romo was portrayed. Which do you think will be remembered, 13 pro-bowlers or who won super bowl 42?
The show should follow a team that should have alot of transition as that would at least insert some drama. Miami would be an interesting choice. Never know whats gonna have in Cincinnati. Or heck pick tampa and just follow the entire classroom of Qb’s they have.

Maybe the show should focus on Strahan and the lawyer boyfriend that gave him that gap in his teeth. That HAD to be a “hard knock”!
