The first episode had so much comedy in it I was forgetting for a moment that I even had a passionate hatred for that other New York team. Head coach Rex Ryan provided much of the humor, constantly cracking jokes and dropping unabashed F-Bombs.
A classic moment came when linebackers coach Jeff Weeks was caught using tanning oil and running shirtless by Ryan. The shirtless running cost Weeks a $5 dollar fine. Ryan has to pay fines of his own whenever he's caught eating a lard laden snack as to hopefully not derail the corpulaent coach from his weight loss goals.
Darrelle Revis' noticeable absence didn't stop "Hard Knocks" from focusing much of the episode on his highly publicized holdout. At first, I completely agreed with Revis request to restructure his contract after having a standout first two years in the NFL. However now after the saga has continued further and further into training camp I have to say he's now erring on the side of selfishness. Revis is requesting a whopping $160 million over 10 years, averaging to $16 million a year which averages to $1 million per game. The Jets offered $12 million a year for 10 years but for Revis a million dollars a month just isn't enough.
I think Revis needs to bite the bullet and get into camp, because as much as it pains me to say this, the Jets are stacked with or without him.
