As an example, teams that COULD say no in 2013: NE, HOU, BAL, DEN, CIN, ATL, SF, GB, BUF, CLE, AZ, SD, KC, JAX, CHI, PHL.
I'm assuming he means 2014 (not 2013)
Expect a lot of this if Thompson is around when GB is on.
Just one more step in the tail ( TV) wagging the dog ( Pro Football)
Giving the networks this much power was a grave mistake that's only going to get worse.
The owners prostituted our sport for more cash and now, predictably, the John's are calling the shots....
Dumb
TT and MM would make every effort to make their show as boring as possible. "No talking when the camera is on."
Colleague Albert Breer added that teams with new coaches, or teams which made the playoffs two years in a row could decline.
Pretty sure that's all the incentive Ted needs to make sure HK never happens on his watch.
Would love to see the Packers on it....Quite Frankly watching ROTTT would be gripping television
I think watching the bullcrap footage those camera crews would come away with from Pats camp would be even funnier.

Texted a coach about teams being forced to do Hard Knocks. Said he would rather be punched in the d--- than do that show. His words.
I can't see a team like Green Bay agreeing to do that show

I think PackFoo's picture is very appropriate. It would be like watching paint dry.
The players just standing around when the camera is on them. The coaches saying nothing. TT would sign a player one day just so he could cut the guy the next in front of a camera. And the conversation would be short - "Your cut - interview over". There would be two practice schedules, the one for HK, and the real one. All the real practices would be in the Hudson center. The only real football they (HK) gets is the players riding bikes and signing autographs. The program would never come to GB again.
If the Packers were to go without playoffs for two years, TT would fire McCarthy for no other reason than to make sure the Packers would not be considered for Hard Knocks. And I could not blame him.
