Shortly after the reports came out this morning that the Cleveland Browns would be featured on HBO’s Hard Knocks in 2018, it was made official. The debut episode will air on Tuesday, August 7th.
In the press release, members of the Browns’ organization, including owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam, head coach Hue Jackson, and general manager John Dorsey all commented on the team’s selection.
After having been asked “multiple times” in the past about being featured, the Haslams felt that now was the right time (even though you really don’t have much of a choice anyway):
“NFL Films has always been exceptional at bringing fans closer to the game and they do an outstanding job with every show they produce, including HBO’s Hard Knocks.
