New York Jets Must Become Next Team on HBO's 'Hard Knocks'

Dear Rex Ryan,

Hey man, how's the offseason going? Quinton Coples, huh? Didn't see that coming.

Anyway, I'm not sure if you've heard, but your New York Jets are among the few teams HBO is considering for this year's version of Hard Knocks. I'm here to beg you with every fiber of my being to please, please accept and put your team back in the spotlight. 

We all know there was serious turmoil in your team's locker room at the end of the 2011 season. Receiver Santonio Holmes was fighting with quarterback Mark Sanchez—heck, it seemed like Holmes was fighting with everyone on the roster—and the team utterly fell apart down the stretch. 

Sanchez's position was further degraded when your front office considered a pursuit of free agent quarterback Peyton Manning. But you guys seemed to kiss and make up when you gave Sanchez a huge contract extension a few days later

Then came Tebowmania.

Oh yes, Tim Tebow is now a Jet, which I'm sure won't put any undue pressure on Sanchez. Nope, won't happen. There's no way there will be any animosity there.

Then there's Darrelle Revis, who could be headed for yet another holdout. Didn't that happen just two years ago when you guys were on Hard Knocks?

Rex, buddy, please, you've got to push for this. It would be the greatest thing to hit television since color screens.

Can you imagine the close-ups on Tebow when you give one of your obscenity-laced rants? Or you yelling at rookies like Coples and raw wide receiver Stephen Hill when they don't look like they know what they're doing? It would be gold Rex, pure gold.

I'd even start a feature on this site just for Coples called "Gholston Watch" to see if he is going to be as big a bust as some experts claim. I'd do that just for you Rex. 

The fake cordiality that masks the insane tension that's sure to exist between Sanchez and Tebow would be so great. I want to hear how Timmy's new teammates react to his ways. Hear the real, behind the scenes feelings, not the prepared-for-the-press statements. 

What about Bart Scott? I bet he can't wait for another shot at Hard Knocks. And we could all use an update on Antonio Cromartie and his 27 (I'm estimating) kids. 

But there will also be some good stories. What about rookie running back Terrance Ganaway, who had an incredibly tough upbringing. He was one of 11 children and his mother died of cancer when he was a freshman at Houston. He transferred to Texarkana College and didn't play football for a year before winding up at Baylor. There, he made the Dean's List twice and was part of an explosive offense in 2011, rushing for 1,547 yards and 21 touchdowns.

Surely he would be useful as part of your inept running game led by Shonn Greene, who has been a complete disappointment as your starting back. I'll even let you use my nickname for Greene—I call him "Second and Eight"—to motivate him. I'll loan that to you that free of charge if you do the show.

But with Ganaway's story being fleshed out, it wouldn't all be comedy. There could be some heartfelt moments too. Although it will be funny hearing the jokes about how you guys drafted the wrong Robert Griffin out of Baylor. In case you weren't away, the one you selected in the sixth round is actually a guard. 

When you did Hard Knocks the last time, it was easily the best season of the show. This year would be even better. So please Rex, make us happy. We want another look at the inner workings of the Jets. 

Sincerely,

The voice of everyone on the planet
