You know they'll want to film Fisher's baseball bat head-spin let's-all-fall-down rookie 'hazing' ritual at the end of training camp.
 
Hard Knocks is great for the NFL. I'm sure the owners, including Kroenke, love it. It adds value to the league and to each and every franchise...

Sure it may add value to the franchise, but not as much as a deep playoff run. Would it adversely effect a young team? That's the question.

Not being on Hard Knocks hasn't worked out very well for us the last 9 years...

Why? Because we've had nine years of futility?

think of all the story lines in play for Hard Knocks

Michael Sam
Gregg Williams back in the NFL
stadium negotiations and possible franchise move
Sam Bradford make or break year
Front Defensive four that every one is talking about


and I am sure you folks could comer up with more

So none of them are going to veto their team being on the show or want anyone to have that option...

What is good for the NFL and what is good for a particular NFL team are two different questions Motes.
An owner should have the right to either accept or pass...even if all 32 owners were begging Goodell to be chosen(which is not the case anyway).

I'm trying to be subjective here.
(Are the Rams) a good choice for the NFL and television? Absolutely yes. Michael Sam(duh). Les Snead is not afraid of the spotlight. Gregg Williams' history. Fisher and his relationship with his players and the referees. Robert Quinn is a star. The Bradford saga. A few high profile rookies. Kenny Britt trying to break into amateur porn.

But...is it good for the Rams? I say no way, and more importantly, i still don't understand how an owner(Stan Kroenke) doesn't have final veto power in terms of the NFL "squeezing" a team to submit to this tv show. Maybe Kroenke is all for it, i don't know...but if he isn't then the NFL should definitely NOT have the power to force this upon an NFL team.

During a Karraker / Farr segment on 101.1, they stated that Fisher was not adverse to Hard Knocks when asked about it today.

There was a report that the Rams had been eliminated from consideration and that the final 3 teams to be considered were Bears, Giants, and Steelers ... Oh my

All boring as hell but with huge fan bases... But for the record it would be awesome to finally see the Rams on the national stage like that. I would love it

And my answer is no. There's no evidence being on Hard Knocks hurts or helps a team. But there's a ton of evidence that Hard Knocks is good for the NFL.

I'm all for it (and only partly because not being on it hasn't done us any good)...

Kroenke originally agreed to play 3 home games in London saying it was an opportunity to expand the brand. You really think he wouldn't want his team on Hard Knocks?
 
I dont care about the potential distractions, I trust fisher to lead the team through hard knocks. I would love to see an inside look at the rams locker room
 
Ya know if it gets us some breaks with the refs. added to the thanks Goodell owes Fisher for drafting Mike Sam, hell why not.

BTW does anyone else think Fisher could end up a high ranking league official?
