Personally id love to see the colts on hard knocks.

 

Only thing is, besides our ineligibility, we haven't really got the storylines to support the show.

 

We haven't got the headcase players (Revis, James Harrison when he was in Cincy), the firecracker head coach (Rex Ryan) or the overhyped draft pick (Johnny Clipboard).

 

It would be a few clips of practice and then a 30 minute interview with Pat McAfee every week. Whilst that would be awesome, there would be better teams to watch.

Careful with that word, people get offended around here when you say that.  It is exempt, not ineligible.

No being ineligible means YOU CANNOT DO IT

Being exempt means YOU CAN DO IT IF YOU CHOOSE TO BUT YOU CAN'T BE FORCED TO

Umm...were beyond that right now.  You said they werent interested in it in response to me saying that people who dont want to do it find being exempt just as good as being ineligible.  understand now?

Wow...omg.  I understand the difference between exempt and ineligible.  What youre not understanding is this

 

Say i do not want to do something but I am eligible for it.

Then i find out that i can be exempt.

To me, since i don't want to do it, exempt and ineligible are now no different and accomplish the same purpose for me....not doing it.

 

Thus, all the teams that are exempt and don't want to do it are just as happy as if they were ineligble.

We're not eligible. You can't have made the playoffs for the past two years.

As another rule they can't ask a new head coach, this doesn't apply to us but still. Those are two of the rules for asking/selecting teams.

Then why did you post this originally?

I am hoping the next best team in the division, I am assuming that would be maybe the Texans, agree to it.

The fact that the Colts are one of the organizations that refused to do it shows what a well-run organization they are. You'll never see the pats or any other successful franchises do it.

I do like watching the show though, it's very interesting.

This is more 'reality' tv than what people generally think of as reality tv. If what they film is real, not scripted, then the reality label is correct.

I've caught a few episodes over the years, but it doesn't excite me. If it were the Colts, I'd be looking more closely for sure.

I don't get HBO so I couldn't watch it even if I wanted to until NFL Network airs it years later as a re-run. Generally, behind the scenes stuff bores me to death. Just show up on game day, that's all I care about. 

 

Okay, let me rephrase that. On landmark albums, I like hearing about the process & stages overall in creating a masterpiece recording. However, seeing players in team meetings, rehab, lift weights, or during practice only works in small doses for me. Just bring the heat on Sunday, Monday, & Thursdays thank you.

Because originally, the information that I had from people like Ross Tucker, Bill Lekas, and Booger McFarland described it as ineligible.

No, they never said that. I listen to Sirius and I understand what the words mean. They do too.

Look, you made an honest mistake. You misunderstood what they were saying. Move on.

I heard them say ineligible, numerous times. Idk who you were listening to, but it wasn't the same show as me.

I corrected it, changed my wording, and gave where I heard my original info. Trying to move on.

We just wanted to see those three beautiful words under your name...

I have said it before... the opportunity to see the day to day ins and outs of my team would be absolutely fascinating.

 

Totally agree.  The season the Jets did it was one of the best, but they were all good.  They even managed to make the boring Falcons interesting.

I'm with you about the music stuff, it's fascinating to me too.  I also get sucked in when they do documentaries about the early days of different artist.  The three hour documentary on the Eagles, for example, held my attention even though I'm not a huge fan of the group.

 

However, the Hard Knocks shows are more than just the work outs and meetings.  They always feature interesting story lines.  A rookie fighting to make the team, a veteran trying to hang on, etc.  A glimpse into some of the players home lives, the different coaching styles...

 

They even show some of the silliness, like when they did the Dolphins and made it look like Vontea was trying to get out of practice.  Chad Johnson was a ham in that show, until he got cut.  Or when Harrison wouldn't cooperate with them when they did the Bengals.  They must have bleeped out half the show when they repeated the Jets on the NFL channel.

 

Anyway, to each their own.  It's must see TV to me.

      Potential/Average/Concern

      By RollerColt · Posted

      Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Davis had a very good rookie season after being drafted in the 2nd round out of Ohio State (I believe).   Graded in the 70’s against both the run and pass.      But his last three years have been disappointing, as he’s graded in the mid-50’s.   The reason I’m so interested in this signing, is (A) I’m sure it was heavily influenced by the new DL coach, Partridge.   And (B) we’re paying him 2/14.  I don’t recall that kind of money ever being given to a basic backup before.   Don’t think Davis is here to push Stewart, the Colts just signed him to 3/39.  That tells me the Colts defensive staff sees him differently.   I don’t know what the plan the staff has come up with for Davis, but I’m looking forward to watching it play out.

      What I’m reading on him the Pacers did get good value. Looks like he will need time to develop but he is in the right situation to do that. The pacers are stacking some quality young players that will prove to be more outstanding depth or assets if they choose to make a trade. Very exciting time for the team right now.

      I’m not a religious person, but since you’re an educator I think you’re doing Gods work!   In these crazy insane times we’re all living in you’re doing one of the toughest jobs on earth.  And you’re teaching perhaps the most difficult generation to deal with.     From a distance it feels like you’re being very unfair to you.  I’m hoping in time you’ll see yourself in a completely different light.    Someone highly thought of.  A leader in the community.  A protector of young minds.   I couldn’t admire a teacher more.
