    Great first episode. O'Brien was great and I liked his language. Romeo's roasting the defense was great as well. Although it would've been better if the defense played better so it would've have been necessary.
    Watt was his usual awesome self. After hearing local radio's coverage of the yelling woman yesterday afternoon, you could tell she had no problem not missing any meals, and the video proved it. Good passion though.

    When the hell did Houston get bats? They could've skipped that part.

    Hopefully there's some good footage involving Clowney in the near future. That would mean he's back on the field.

    Hoyer sounded like a beeootch with his jersey comment. Zero confidence. Hopefully Bill's confidence in him and Mallett comes to fruition.. he's been repeatedly bumping his gums about how capable they are.


    Looking forward to more episodes.

    He didn't say it to Garcon. He was talking to Cushing on the sidelines about Garcon. At least that's what they showed.

    I LOL'ed at the fabricated story line of DHop trying to replace #1 WR Andre Johnson. Hopkins was a vastly better wide receiver than AJ last year. I don't have any issue with them dedicating time to AJ leaving - but don't disrespect our intelligence...

    Hopkins will have to catch 10+ TDs to be top 5 good (fantasy-wise), but I do think he will be one of the best WRs in the league this year. Probably at the top of the 2nd tier just under Bryant, Jones, Thomas, Brown, Beckham Jr, Megatron.

    He has insane burst out of the breaks, and great hands.

    I had to roll my eyes at the whole "The #1 wide receiver slot is wide open" part. No, it's not. It was always going to be Hopkins. Even if AJ were back, it still might've been Hopkins. There's a battle for the #2 WR, but not #1.

    Who do you all think can flip the tire the most on the team? Wilfork? Brown? Covington? Or is it JJ?

    Stretching to come up with story-lines not including JJ.

    The people of Hard Knocks said they didn't get much on Foster's injury because they can't focus the cameras on every pulled muscle or cramp out there. I guess initially no one really thought much of it, so they ignored it.

    One the DP Show, Dan Le Batard questioned Watt's authencity on HK, then said he thinks Brady has been 100 throughout Inflategate :confused:

    Let the national hating begin!

    I love jj watt, he's the best player in the nfl, but let's be honest. A lot of the stuff he does is just for show. He loves having the camera on him all the time.

    He knows how to play the game on and off the field. He is smartly setting himself to be a more valuable brand. That is just good business and the right way to maximize his earning potential. I think he is also a nice guy and likes the fans. Being smart and honest aren't mutually exclusive.

    Very entertaining episode. Watching obrien makes me realize how boring Kubes really was.

    Agreed

    Just saying... don't question Watt, then say you believe Brady is 100.

    That's being biased and a homer...... hating

    We never saw behind the media veil with him. I remember the clip of him cussing out Arian for being lazy and threatening to cut him his rookie year.

    1400 and 10 are completely within the realm of possibility for him.

    He should have a monster year, especially with no Arian.

    I agree with the top of tier 2.

    Who says he won't be?

    In years past, they've followed injured players (especially the good ones) through the entirety of their injury process, from meetings with Dr's, to hospital footage, to actual in the OR footage (granted, that was through team doctors in previous years... Arian had, or is having, his surgery out of town).

    Arian knows he's got a shot at one more multi-year deal from somebody, along with a slim chance at continuing to build his brand at the end of his prime... he's going to likely take advantage of the spotlight someway/somehow.

    Is it really supposed to be this hard to find a 720 or 1080 torrent for this episode? I figured it would be readily available.
