good news:Bears Are Again Experiencing Hard Knocks……..
Should HBO and the NFL determine that the Bears must be on Hard Knocks, there is no way out for them under the formula.
This year, George McCaskey’s wishes might be put to the test.
When questioned about his team’s appearance on Hard Knocks the previous year, the chairman of the Bears board of directors famously remarked, “There are a number of teams that have compelling stories to tell on Hard Knocks.”
In response to the question, “Are the Bears one?” he replied, “31 others.”
As one of just three clubs that can’t say no to Hard Knocks, McCaskey’s persuasiveness with the league may be put to the test, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.
The Denver Broncos and New Orleans Saints are the other two teams this season that are unable to refuse the eye-opening initiative.
HBO and NFL Films have a collaboration, and they use a formula for marketing purposes to figure out who can’t resist doing it.
The method states that teams can decline if they haven’t had a first-year coach, have qualified for the playoffs the previous two years, or have participated in Hard Knocks within the last ten years. Teams are welcome to offer to do it.
Since 2020, the Bears have missed out on the playoffs. The Jets, Falcons, Panthers, and Jets are the only four teams with lengthier postseason berth droughts.
Perhaps it’s time for the Bears to open Halas Hall to the media so they can get a close-up, behind-the-scenes peek at their training camp.
It might make them a desirable team, especially if they get a new quarterback.
Last season, the Jets were the one team that was unable to say no to the Bears, Saints, Commanders, and Jets. The Commanders are free to decline the programme because they will now have a new coach.
