Jim Irsay and the Indianapolis Colts have had plenty on their plates this offseason – from the installation of new GM Chris Ballard to the recovery of franchise QB Andrew Luck’s surgically-repaired shoulder. Fans wanting a look behind the proverbial curtain will have to stay tuned to Irsay’s popular Twitter feed, as the outspoken owner has said the team won’t be featured on this season’s edition of “Hard Knocks”.
HBO’s wildly successful training camp documentary has become must-watch television for NFL fans. From rookies adjusting to life in the league, to veteran players working to hang on to their jobs (and, of course, Rex Ryan’s outstanding sound bites) ‘Hard Knocks’ is as close as most of us will ever get to being in the league – for better and for worse.
