"Hard Knocks: Offseason with the New York
Giants" will premiere on July 2. The Giants are preparing for
their 100th season.
The franchise opting to take part in this series is a headline
unto itself. After all, co-owner John Mara made his stance
crystal clear to the New York Daily News back in 2010.
"That announcement will come," Mara said at the time, "when I'm
next to my father in the Gates of Heaven cemetery."
Well, Mara is still alive and "Hard Knocks" is calling as the
Giants prepare for their centennial season.
This five-part series marks the first time "Hard Knocks" has
chronicled a team throughout the offseason, including free
agency and the draft. The series previously has documented NFL
training camps, the preseason and regular season.
"We are beyond thrilled that the New York Giants have opened
their doors to the Hard Knocks cameras for the first time ever,"
HBO executives Nancy Abraham, Bentley Weiner and Lisa Heller
said in a statement. "The NFL offseason is a fascinating period
that we've always wanted to explore and we can't wait to show
football fans everywhere what NFL Films has been capturing
behind the scenes at the team's headquarters."
