Monday brought about a rare flurry of positive news for the Detroit Lions that had nothing to do with free agency or anything related to the “player acquisition phase” for that matter. No, instead, the Lions managed to make national news twice in one day... and both just happened to be good news.
First, the NFL announced that the Lions would be the featured team on HBO’s Hard Knocks training camp documentary series. While the Lions organization may not like HBO’s prying eyes all over them in August, for the fan base, it’s an extraordinary opportunity to get an in-depth look inside the organization in a way we never have.
