machine gun kelly 1,217 Posted July 27, 2019 You know I never watched hard knocks as I had Direct tv for the ticket, and didn’t want another cost, but moved to a place where I have to use Spectrum so I thought no I’ll watch this year. Just seeing Gruden for 7 years in Tampa he’s not as good as his hype, but he’s always entertaining. Funny as quite a few years ago my buddy and I coached our flag football team against him twice. We won one, and lost one. He was gracious so both times so good with the kids. Thanks for the clip. From the clip it sounds like this airs on Friday nights so will have to watch the first one on demand. Have a good day guys. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whatdrought 10,023 Posted July 27, 2019 MLK's Dream speech < One Chuckie Boi's dream speech. All kidding aside, it's actually a pretty good speech... Not sure he should be saying that to Richie Incognito though: "In other news, a NFL lineman was arrested for running naked through a Las Vagas casino with a baseball bat yelling 'kill Dreams!! Me Nightmare!!'" 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nextmanup 1,958 Posted July 27, 2019 I have no doubt that this guy's real life persona is totally different to his on-air persona. When he was doing color on Monday nights, it was all happy, fuzzy, warm, positivity. "I just love this kid. He's such a hard worker with athleticism off the charts man!" and so on. You know that's a freaking act. He's probably swearing like a maniac behind closed doors trying to figure out how to turn his ***** team into something decent. And when it comes to silly "pep talks" of this type in the clip, do these NFL coaches actually think that crap adds to a different outcome on the field? It's funny how much these guys think their job is to "smooth talk" their players, one way or the other, into playing at their top level of performance. It all adds up to zero. What works is effective scheming, planning, and above all, execution on the field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MJS 5,340 Posted July 27, 2019 I guess we shouldn't be surprised when all his players start backstabbing each other. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Defense 160 Posted July 27, 2019 We should all be extremely grateful that Beane and McDermott would NEVER even consider being on that drama creating, team dividing spectacle. I think this will be the case for as long as they are in Buffalo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eball 7,634 Posted July 27, 2019 He's such a complete Richard Noggin. What a doosh. Screw that "taking away someone's dreams" b.s. I guarantee you a good number of guys listening to that are thinking to themselves "this guy is crazy." That said, I'll totally watch this season. It'll be a train wreck. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
