Hard Knocks 2012: Dallas Cowboys and Teams Who Should Be Featured in 2013

HBO's Hard Knocks series will wrap up another exciting season on Tuesday night with the fourth and final episode on the Miami Dolphins' training camp and preseason.

The Dolphins were a great team for the show, with players such as Chad Johnson, Daniel Thomas and Ryan Tannehill giving fans some dramatic and hilarious moments.

With this season ending soon, let's look at three teams that HBO should consider for the show in 2013.

Dallas Cowboys

The obvious choice for this article is the Dallas Cowboys, who have a whole organization of characters and great personalities, starting from owner Jerry Jones right down to the players.

Jones is no stranger to a video camera and has even appeared in HBO's former hit TV show Entourage. He would certainly give HBO some great scenes.

Many players on the Cowboys also shine in front of a camera and/or love attention. Quarterback Tony Romo is an outgoing guy, and so is wide receiver Dez Bryant. Miles Austin is another player who would enjoy having the cameras on and being mic'd up.

Jones loves when people are talking about his team, and few things could add more intrigue and excitement surrounding his team than if he allowed HBO to feature the Cowboys in Hard Knocks leading up to the 2013 NFL season.

New England Patriots

Even though they don't say much in press conferences (just like their head coach Bill Belichick), most of the Patriots players are funny guys.

Wes Welker, Tom Brady, Aaron Hernandez, Danny Woodhead and many more Patriots players would be perfect for Hard Knocks. They like to have a good time, crack jokes and have fun.

The obvious attraction would be All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski, who is one of the most outgoing characters in all of football. Gronkowski would be perfect for any kind of TV show. He always looks like he's having a good time and has a million-dollar smile. 

Even though Belichick can bore people at times, we saw in NFL Network's documentary on him last year that he can provide some interesting stories and opinions. He usually makes a few surprising cuts every preseason as well, which could create some interesting moments for the show.

Belichick might not allow Hard Knocks to be done on the Patriots since it could become a distraction for the team, but it would be great if HBO could follow New England in 2013.

Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles are one of the most popular teams in football and have plenty of players with great personalities that are perfect for Hard Knocks.

Michael Vick, DeSean Jackson, LeSean McCoy and Trent Cole are just a few players who would provide fans with many funny and interesting moments on the show.

Every preseason there is usually some sort of drama surrounding the Eagles, which would make them a great fit for Hard Knocks. They are certainly one of the least boring teams in the NFL.
