Raiders Owner Mark Davis Would 'Prefer' Team Not Do HBO Hard Knocks This Year

The Oakland Raiders added booming personalities to their roster this offseason, but owner Mark Davis isn't quite ready to say, "Lights, camera, action."

According to Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Davis doesn't want his team to be the subject of HBO's Hard Knocks this year.

"It's just not the right time," Davis said.

Since teams with new head coaches can't be forced to appear on the show, Davis jokingly told head coach Jon Gruden, "If they make us do it, I'm gonna fire you and then I'll hire you right back.
