Hardknocks with JJ Wildman
Hooray, the Texans won the honor of being on Hard Knocks. I hope you are ready for a lot of JJ Watt, Arian Foster and rookies getting cut.
I’ve never been the biggest fan of Hard Knocks and only fully watched 1 season (The Dolphins one). For the most part I just don’t see what I’m hoping to see when I watch a football show. The show focuses so much on the rookies because for training camp they are the most compelling stories you can get, but ultimately each season ends up the same. Here are a bunch of rookies, watch them struggle, build up this narrative of them making the team, and they get cut by the 75 man roster, not even the final cut. There is only so many times I can watch a sad rookie get cut. I stop caring. Maybe, in it’s own way, Hard Knocks has desensitized me to the plights of these rookies. Maybe Hard Knocks has slowly turned me into seeing them as fodder the same way the team sees them as fodder.
Watt would make a great CEO in England. He’ll sack anyone.
Add Andre Johnson to the list of hall of famers that stay with 1 team for 12+ years, and then go play for a division rival at the end of the career. Jason Taylor on the Jets, Farve on the Vikings, and Thurman Thomas in Miami are some examples.
Favre and Jason Taylor played for an out-of-conference team for a season before going to a division rival. Favre to the Jets and Jason Taylor to Washington.
Oh yeah.
Mark Bavaro on the Eagles.
That one stings…
I’m too young to really know that one (born in 1997).
Nice choice of shirt, Sir David, he thinks you’re a Dolphin.
OMG A JURASSIC WORLD REFERENCE YES DAVE YES
As a colt fan, this is akin to horror.
Please don’t sack Sir Attenborough! I couldn’t handle my second favorite public persona hurting my favorite public persona. It would break me.
Clever girl…
You’re forgetting about the best storyline of all for the Texans —
David Quessenberry beating cancer & coming back to make the roster plus his brother in training camp with him as well
