kingwilly Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Teams on the show are 37-42 combined record... not promising....I'd lke to see it be the Bengals just so we might see the inner workings of a dysfunctional family run business... and SoP's sea-foam lumina.37-42? And what's the Bengals' record in that timeframe? This show can only help us! good point! maybe it is a blessing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 And yet with all the perceived thoughts of wrong doings that happen in the dark corners of PBS, you never hear the former players have anything but positives about the organization as a whole. I always found that odd... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregstephens Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Hard Knocks I knew the Bengals would have our own reality show. Fits well with usBetter option than COPS I guess.Patriots to be featured on the next CHEATERS.Dude, I would NOT want to be that little Joey Greco guy trying to get in Belichek's face with the camera.

DC_Bengals_Fan Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 A bigger concern is the almost reclusive Mike Brown, as Joe Reedy just pointed out. Mike's been a figure of public ridicule for decades now and you have to wonder if HBO's cameras will attempt to peek behind the curtain from time to time. If they do they may be in for a suprise, especially after the way Jerry Jones constantly mugged for the camera.Maybe we can hear a treatise on Mike Brown's "themes" of losing.In reality, though, they can't follow football and think they're getting anything of entertainment value out of Mikey. He's not even interesting enough to mock, from a TV standpoint. Not much personality. If he were a color, it would be beige.If they do it, I'll definitely sign up with HBO.

COB Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 It will likely be the Chad Johnson show. When it was the Chiefs, Herm Edwards was the most interesting guy there, and they showed him a lot. Chad will make sure he's the focal point, one way or another. He's a glory hog to the extreme.

ArmyBengal Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 I won't get HBO just for that. Rather I'll just wait until next year and watch it on NFL Network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairOnFire Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 In reality, though, they can't follow football and think they're getting anything of entertainment value out of Mikey. He's not even interesting enough to mock, from a TV standpoint. Not much personality. If he were a color, it would be beige. Elmer Fudd starred in films and television for 50 years and counting. Henry was a beloved comic charcter despite lacking a mouth and the ability to speak. Doughy Arthur Carlson was the beloved public face of Cincinnati when WKRP rocked the air. And how long has the Maytag repairman been on? No, the list of beige colored Milquetoast types in the entertainment world is long and distinquished precisely because they're needed to tell the stories of the more colorful over-the-top counterparts. And along those lines.....how do you tell the sory of Chad Ocho Doucho without including his nemesis? Didn't a momentarily contrite Chad once refer to Mister Beige as "The Monster"? Frankly, we've all grown weary of Chad's act because we've seen it so often. But who wouldn't like a peek behind the curtain? Who wouldn't want to spend a little time in the hidden inner sanctum? Besides, anyone who has spent more than 5 minutes shopping for paint knows there are 3,237 different and unique colors of beige. So which one of them best describes Mike?

ArmyBengal Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 I've often made the comment about how I would love to have even just a short time in the Bengals draft room to see what they really do.I do think it would be interesting if that were part of the show.

COB Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Up until this year I'd always assumed player headshots and a dartboard were integral to the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
