NFL Fans Aren’t Impressed That The Colts Will Be The First In-Season Team Featured On Hard Knocks

During the Thursday Night Football game between the Giants and Washington Football Team, HBO made an announcement that they were bringing back the popular show “Hard Knocks” for an in-season premiere.

Which would be excited news for NFL fans craving that type of content during the season. But the team chosen happens to be one of the most uninteresting teams in the league: the Indianapolis Colts.

Right away, fans shared their displeasure with the news that the Colts were the team selected to be followed around during the season.

The only thing I want to watch less than a Carson Wentz-led Colts team is a Carson Wentz-led Colts team on Hard Knocks.

It’ll be interesting to see how the Hard Knocks team tries to hype up the show centered around the Colts during the season.

I feel like most of the allure of Hard Knocks comes from the fact that it’s giving fans some exclusive content in the waning moments of the offseason before we get to actually watch live football for an entire season.

The in-season format kind of defeats that purpose. But let’s be real here, most of us will give it a shot anyways.

Maybe the Colts will surprise us during Hard Knocks.
