America's Team: The Lions Are Apparently Being Asked To Do A 2nd Season Of Hard Knocks Because Every Other Team Keeps Saying No

You know what? Fuck it. Just make the Lions the Hard Knocks team again. The NFL can't get anyone else to say yes so go back to the well. A little secret: America just wants football content. It doesn't matter what it is, if it's the NFL, we're going to pay attention. We're all going to watch even if it sucks and is repetitive. We're going to read everything about our teams. We're going to do whatever for NFL content. It's the easiest cheat code in this world. 

So every other team keeps saying no? Give us Dan Campbell being a lunatic again. He's going to have quotes that go viral and draw people in. Sure they don't have Jamaal Williams, but Amon-Ra St. Brown's dad is likely more than willing to be on air again. Let that man talk. 

Worst case scenario, everyone turns on the Lions. They are America's darling team right now. They got the season opener at Kansas City. They are being talked about as the team to make a jump to the playoffs. Plus nobody and I mean nobody turns on something as quick as we do as a society. One bad season? That show sucks. One too many shows or articles or whatever? Fuck that team. I can't imagine Dan Campbell as the bad guy, but he'd relish it. 

I don't know why everyone says no to Hard Knocks besides being annoyed with all the camera stuff. It's not like it ruins a game plan. It's not like it changes your season. It gets some eyes on your franchise, which you'd think people would like. The Jets should be the no-brainer here. They shouldn't get to say no. 

All that said, the Lions are the perfect backup plan. Just get us to Hard Knocks because that means we're done with the dog days of no sport summer.
