Looks like we're one of four teams that qualify for the series. The question is: Would you watch? Or would it be bad ju-ju for a franchise struggling to get back on its feet?

I wouldn't watch. Don't do reality TV. But I suppose Hard Knocks - Saints is inevitable.

Is it 'Reality TV' per se, or more like a real time documentary? I think the staged crap like 'The Kardashians' when you say Reality TV.

What we just witnessed in our last game, if not much of this season was as much of a hard knock "reality tv show" as I can take.

I don't want it to happen. Stay away from the Saints, HBO. But if it did I would watch every second of it.

I'd watch it.

Would really like to see how they operate with DA in charge, the training staff/weight room conditioning, practicing, who is asleep in film study, etc.

I'll quote Prime here ... "you play how you prepare and practice".

I don't know about that K Major, can you imagine how depressing following DA around throughout the series would be? Oh my gosh, there would be so little energy in that locker room everyone would be sleeping through film and pregame speeches. Alvin Kamara will miss time with his suspension most likely. Marcus May will miss time with his suspension likely. There is no good storyline in New Orleans currently.

But yeah, "keep doing what you're doing" isn't exactly what HBO has in mind for ratings

I'm sorry, but Dennis Allen has never told his team to "keep doing what you're doing".

According to Andy Dalton, Allen told him specifically to stick to the current game plan (ie. keep doing what you are doing) at halftime of the Cardinals game when asked by a reporter what Allen said referring specifically to the two pick sixes immediately before the half. It never was any ongoing general philosophy as being implied by some. Members need to try getting the story straight instead of spreading false rumors.

I have never claimed to be a fan of Dennis Allen, but spreading lies or unsubstantiated rumors is strictly prohibited according to the forum rules (See section titled FALSE RUMORS AND INTENTIONAL MISINFORMATION/MISREPRESENTATION).

Just an FYI.

Guido, I hope this is a joke.
