My favorite show on TV right now…
Hard Knocks-Training Camp with Cincinnati Bengals on HBO is the best thing on TV right now. If you love football, you’re probably already watching it-but even if you don’t, watch it. HBO does the best documentary-style shows. Watching this show makes me appreciate what every player goes through and how the team comes together. My favorite player is Ochocino (Chad Johnson) He is so funny and amazing to watch. Did anybody see him kick during the Patriots game? Kiss the baby….
If you don’t get HBO, watch clips of the episodes on the website:

That’s great! I love Hard Knocks. I agree too, you really don’t have to be a hardcore football fan to enjoy that production. It really IS a REAL “reality show”. Not flying celebrities in and dropping them into a jungle or creating artificial scenarios with bizarros in a Hollyweird mansion.
It’s cool you are such a sports fan!………Brock
I haven’t seen “HardKnocks” yet, but after your review, I’ll have to check it out. Being a Niner Fan, it’s been tough these past seasons! The best night on TV has got to be Sunday night. We start with “Entourage” on HBO- consistantly sharp fun with Ari & Crew. Then we make cocktails and switch to “Mad Men” on AMC. This is probably the best written show on now. It’s best if you’ve followed it from the start. Jon Hamm is so intense as Don Draper. After our cocktails have kicked in, and we’re ready to temporarily suspend our TV morals, we switch back to HBO to watch “Hung”!- a well written, character driven, dark comedy. What a viewer’s trifecta!!
Speaking of “Entourage”, it was great to see you in your brief, cameo appearance. You didn’t need to say a word to make a big impact in that scene, but I hope you didn’t invest in a dialogue coach!- Still good fun though, and it would a blast to see you in another episode.
Thanks for your Blog; a great idea! Anthony
Ms. M.- I took your advice, and caught “HardKnocks” on Comcast On Demand. You weren’t kidding; the first couple of episodes we watched were great- fascinating, funny, impressive. The camera work, and capture of their conversations put you right there.My wife Sally & I got a kick out of Chad “Ocho Cinco”. You’re right- that dude’s full-on funny. “Child, please!” He’s an amazing athlete, despite the Mickey-D’s diet!
On a different topic, I saw your VS ad “What I Like About My Body”- very cute & fun. In it, you do this little boxing jab combo, and look proficient. I’ve seen the SI clip of you sparring in a boxing club. Are you still taking that beautiful, million-dollar visage of yours into a ring?!? Hope not!
Thanks again for the tip on “HardKnocks” -ATF
Oh, the Bungals… The Ravens’ll dominate them again this year. Can’t wait till the regular season starts!
