My analysis of the lifeless, tedious, horrifyingly boring first episode of Hard Knocks was met with Twitter outrage! Why? Because a lot of sports fans are children. “HOW DARE YOU NOT LIKE THE TV SHOW ABOUT THE TEAM I LIKE!!” So let’s see how many followers we can lose this week (and then gain back in the following days).
- Just saw the trailer for “The Penguin.” Is Tim Burton’s version of Penguin the only version where the character is actually a penguin?
- Owens talking about Simone Biles is already more compelling than anything in the first episode.
- Man, Liev is starting to sound old. It makes me sad.
- “Going clubbing? Got the fishnet on!” Caleb is a special personality.
- With Caleb and Rome, the Bears could have a marketable duo for a decade.
- No chance Liev didn’t crack up when he saw the transition from Velus discussing his pet ferret to using ferret as a verb.
- Why is there a neon Miller sign in the meeting room?
- The episode has slowed dramatically. Nothing going on. These episodes should really be 30 minutes.
- I can’t imagine being less interested in anything than this Museum of Ice Cream sequence.
- ”Soft serve” reference by Liev. Not good.
- Favorite moment. DJ Moore getting tackled in Bills game and screaming, “I love football!”
- Problem with the program is they’re forced to focus on Velus and Austin Reed because there just isn’t much drama to be found elsewhere.
- Austin Booker is very likely to play the first third down the team faces in September.
- I am always intrigued by how coaches engage post-game. Eberflus and McDermott have ZERO relationship.
Only 49 minutes. Not surprising. But a far superior experience than episode one.
