Hard Knocks Trailer Has Me Ready for Some Football

Don't get me wrong, I'm ready for some football the day after the Super Bowl and remain that way throughout the offseason. However, there's always a day in July where the feeling really hits me. That moment was today, when NFL Films dropped the trailer for the upcoming season of Hard Knocks, which debuts on HBO on August 11th and will feature the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers:




A weird thing about this moment hitting me today is I don't even really like Hard Knocks all that much. It's gotten formulaic over the years, and with this season there isn't going to be some lightning rod personality like Rex Ryan who is going to captivate the masses with soundbites.

That being said, just the production of the trailer had me daydreaming about Saturdays and Sundays in the Fall in a way that I didn't realize was going to hit me when I clicked play. Let's all keep our fingers crossed that the football gods can deliver the product.
