Cincinnati Bengals To Be On HBO’s “Hard Knocks” For Some Reason

May 14, 2009 Ryan Berenz Reality TV, Sports, TV News & Program Updates Comments Off on Cincinnati Bengals To Be On HBO’s “Hard Knocks” For Some Reason

By Ryan

Good news: HBO is returning another season of Hard Knocks in August. Bad news: It’s going to be about the Cincinnati Bengals. Good news: It can double as a season of COPS.

HBO Sports, NFL Films and the Cincinnati Bengals will team up for an all-access look at what it takes to make it in the National Football League when Hard Knocks: Training Camp With the Cincinnati Bengals debuts Aug. 12 at 10pm ET/PT on HBO (HD). It is the show’s fifth season. Other seasons have followed the Dallas Cowboys (twice), Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs.

“This is a fascinating team,” says NFL Films president Steve Sabol. “They’ve got a lot to prove to themselves and to the fans.  As Coach Lewis has said, ‘This is a team with a chip on their shoulder.’ Training camp is a laboratory of human emotions and the Bengals have a compelling mix of personalities that should make for dramatic television.”

2015 NFL Preseason TV schedule

August 5, 2015 Ryan Berenz Sports 28

Download, view and print the entire 2015 NFL TV Schedule with regular-season and playoff games on CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN and NFL Network. From start to finish, the 2014 NFL season was not a good one. Whether it was ongoing issues about concussions and player health, domestic violence incidents involving high-profile players Adrian Peterson and Ray Rice, and Super Bowl XLIX MVP Tom Brady’s involvement in the “Deflategate” scandal that will cause him to miss four regular-season games in 2015 [Update: Nope], the NFL received a lot of unwanted attention.

TV Has Its Place: On HBO’s Forthcoming Series “Treme”

May 7, 2009 Channel Guide Staff Drama, Music Comments Off on TV Has Its Place: On HBO’s Forthcoming Series “Treme”

by Karl J. Paloucek Now here’s an appealing and relevant idea for a new series: According to Variety, HBO has given the green light to a new series called Treme, named after the New Orleans district in which it’s set. The main characters, including various musicians and a restaurateur, try to rebuild their lives in the wake of Hurricane Katrina’s devastation. Executive produced by David Simon (The Wire) and Eric Overmyer (Law & Order franchises, The Wire), the series is being considered for release in spring 2010. This is an encouraging sign, as I see it. I’m sure I’m far […]
