Jets Flight Connections 03-25-10

The Jets are expected to announce that the team will be the subject of HBO's "Hard Knocks."

The Jets hope to sell more PSLs and expand the brand through the show.

The Post notes that "Hard Knocks" teams have suffered a devastating injury during the subsequent season. We actually had two last last year, and we survived them.

Rich Cimini notes that "Hard Knocks" teams haven't had a losing first month.

HC Rex Ryan has experience with the show, as the Ravens were the first team to be on it when he was Baltimore's DL coach.

LB Bart Scott doesn't seem to like the idea of having cameras around training camp.

People seem to forget that the Jets have had their own reality show called "Jets 24/7" (now called "Jets Flight Plan"), and it was launched after the hiring of former HC Herman Edwards, who later moved on to Kansas City, where his Chiefs team was also featured on "Hard Knocks." Herm talks about the Jets and the show.

By the way, I've looked for some Ravens videos, but so far no luck.

Like that Bart Scott doesn't really like that they will be on Hard Knocks.

Thats real leadership. Guy just wants to focus, just wants the team to come together. Good stuff.

Yup. I’m surprised he’s against it, as he’s been known for being vocal.

and the home of the... JETS!!!

I think the bottom line with Bart is that he just wants to win, and everyone is saying that this has the potential to be a distraction, and I guess he just doesn’t want players acting up to the camera. It’s understandable, sure it won’t prevent him from saying some controversial stuff come TC time though.
