Hard Knocks – Dallas Cowboys – Episode 5
3 Sep 2008
Well, the 5th and final episode of HBO’s Hard Knocks has come and gone. I’m sad to see the series end so quickly, but I’m totally stoked about seeing the Cowboys start the regular season against the Cleveland Browns this Sunday. With Derek Anderson having (Troy) concussion syndrome, I think this game will be an easy lock for Dallas.
I was really glad to see the concentration stay on the rookies in the final episode. The series could have easily turned to an outlook of the stars and their Super Bowl aspirations. I particularly liked the focus on Daniel Amendola. He quickly became a fan favorite during the short run of the show. I was very glad to seem him pass up other possibilities for the opportunity to stay in Texas. I really think he will have a great opportunity to actually make the team with all the damage to the Cowboys’ receiving corps.
I still absolutely hate Martelus Bennett.. this guy is still a douche with no respect for authority. I think his attitude is a large distraction and not worth the drama that we have.
I am also very glad that Adam ‘Pacman’ Jones got fully reinstated and I wish him the best. It was cool to see him and Deion Sanders fishing. For those of you that don’t live in Dallas, Deion lives in a freaking compound like a MoFo. His house is absolutely ridiculous. The lake that they showed during the show is in Deions BACKYARD.
Overall, I personally think the series was short but incredible. I am totally looking forward to the regular season for the Cowboys and the rest of football. The Cowboys are Super Bowl or bust this year. They better do something incredible.
::UPDATE::
Marion “The Civilized Barbarian” – pretty bizarre to see him playing the piano
Odd that Jerry cuts guys without having the Desperados hiring team right there
You get the feeling that Wade really does take these cuts hard, he’s got that vibe like he loves coaching but management stuff hurts him cause he love players, guess thats why he doesn’t have to be tyrannical like some coaches. Although if he was it would certainly make cutting guys easier
You start with this formula of Rookie Watching: One guaranteed, One Likely, One Intriguing and One Unlikely. then in the last episode they abadoned the storyline that will have an impact on the season in Bennett. I wonder if he’s fed up with their coverae of him, or he’s just such an ass that they couldn’t bear it any longer
I am still looking for someone else to help start blogging on the site. Contact me if you’re interested.
