Why HBO's ‘Hard Knocks’ won’t be a distraction for Chicago Bears at training camp

"Hard Knocks" is coming to Chicago Bears training camp this year, but fears over the show being a distraction to the team are overblown.
These players are already around cameras and microphones more than you might realize. Having HBO at Halas Hall won't be anything new.

Random recording is not the same…yes it is absolutely human nature to show off for HBO…knowing it will be nationally televised is different…much different -

[@woodstocknation1961]

This is all scripted. Think about last year when our offensive line was pathetic. How we somehow lost 4 games we had double digit leads in the 4th quarter. And now the woke NFL gets the LGTQB1 to wind up in what has turned into the WOKE hub of the NFL. And HBO needs ratings. So this has all been orchestrated to be by far the most watched talked about HARD KNOCKS ALL TIME.
The 2024 will be about CW and the Bears getting every call imaginable. as this season rolls on the Bears will be nationally telecast like NEVER BEFORE

[@Robert-tr8iw]

Cameras - interviews - game plan leaks - it is a distraction and a disadvantage…that’s why they almost always have to force teams to do it.

[@fluidflacka]

Never been a game plan leak lol

[@Robert-tr8iw]

@@fluidflacka yeah I got a little carried away there your right.

[@titopiszczor9970]

Ppl are annoying saying its gonna be a distraction an it's a curse... idk if anyone's been watching the last 20 seasons buuuuut maybe we should change shit up cuz what we're doing clearly ain't working

[@OTCRock4one]

Other teams have been on Hard Knocks, why are people thinking our Bears team is exempt? Makes no sense to me!

[@NateModder]

it is the editing control. george

[@Robert-tr8iw]

Man you are really hammering home that this is just cameras…it’s not about the camera it’s about being televised on HBO…to say a camera is a camera is silly - geez you just keep saying camera camera camera - it’s about what gets done with the film…

[@Hiphiphooray490]

Exactly. If my wife wants to film me in the bedroom, not an issue. If a neighbor wants to, big issue!

[@fluidflacka]

We didn't have hard knocks when we went 3 and 14 what was the distraction then?

[@Robert-tr8iw]

@@fluidflacka ok yes - I was clearly insinuating that Hard Knocks is the only reason any team from any year losses… good catch

[@ianosorio9591]

The Bears have sucked for over 30 years WITHOUT a distraction...so lets see how they do with a little distraction this year.

[@OTCRock4one]

lol
