Saints on 2023 Hard Knocks?

If the NFL was a benevolent idealistic democracy, this would not matter. But the NFL is not that. So I think it will be the Bear or Jets on Hard Knocks. Really this is a QB driven league also, and the Jets have a big story at QB with an MVP Superbowl QB joining their team in a big market. The Bears play in a large market too and have a young 1st round QB who is exciting and beloved in Fantasy Football and polarizing in real football, will legit receivers make him good or has he hit his ceiling? The Saints play in a small market and have a middle aged pretty good QB who gets mentioned alongside guys like Cousins and Garappalo. I am unsure if the Commanders have a QB on their roster. Maybe they have the guy who started for the Broncos against us the COVID year. So I think its the Jets or Bears because Roger Goodell likes ratings and dislikes dissent.

I called it.

If the Jets defy Roger Goodell on any more votes, Woody Johnson will have to move to Belarus.

There you go Bako. Let them squirm under the spot light instead of us. Let greasy man-bun Rodgers struggle through the scrutiny.

Half the civilized world called it. There was no way the league was going to pass up the opportunity to showcase Aaron Rodgers in the media capital of the nation.

Let's not forget that the Saints were one of two teams to change their vote on Thursday flexing to get the measure passed. You know that didn't come without some retribution. A guarantee that they wouldn't have to endure Hard Knocks would make sense. I have also heard that a part of the deal was to have the league flex their Thursday night game against the Rams out of that night back to a normal Sunday.
