Sean Payton is ok with it :

Many NFL head coaches recoil at the notion of opening up their operation to the glaring eye of 24/7 cameras to be broadcast to the world. However, if it comes to that, Broncos head coach Sean Payton has previously stated that if his team is forced to star on Hard Knocks, it would at least give him the opportunity to dispel some of the myths surrounding his reputation, especially amid the blowback criticism he's received for benching Russell Wilson.

"I think it's part of the deal, and I understand it. I get it. It's the only thing that makes me once in a while want to do 'Hard Knocks,'" Payton said back in late December. "Because there's a perception. That would be the only reason to get an inside (look) as to this whole 'old school' approach. Shoot, you don't do this (for) this long if you're not adjusting, funny, creative—all of those things. I think that I am all of those things."

Damn, I should take a victory lap.

I think the biggest risk to Hard Knocks is for the head coach—they often come across as sort of dumb and their motivational tactics questionable. What is probably cool and “rah-rah” in person doesn’t translate on TV.

IT WAS A REALLY DUMB DECISION BUT THEY ARE THE BAD NEWS BEARS AFTER ALL.

Oh man Bears fans are going to find some grindy 4th stringer they swear should make the team. Maybe it's Tyson Bagent (again).

Austin Brown will be their grindy story. Low round pick who left college a year early and is almost assured of making the team

First episode was mostly boring. Didn't need to see a guy packing for the airport. Didn't need to see the coach getting a fucking hair cut.

One thing I noticed. Poles doesn't like our stupid President. Neither do I.

Going over the contract of Moore...

Warren: So 110 million of new money. Looks like 82 guaranteed. That looks good.

Poles is looking in the distance kind of roling his eyes saying to himself "What the fuck do you know about running the actual team and spending the money right. Just leave me alone and build the stadium."

That's what I picked up. Poles hates Warren.

Saban wants this job...

That was boring. Oh well.

They must of had better audio of Caleb Williams on the practice field. More interesting stuff.

I'm sure it will get better. But they did a poor job with episode 1. There had to be better stuff they could have shown us. I'm also aware that the Bears have to "OK" what they show us. So that's part of it.

Also, the woke community is gonna say making the rookie get naked while singing was hazing and wrong. I'm sure that's already a controversy on social media.
