The Manchurian Candidates

OT: Starting to look like the Packers will finally get to appear on Hard Knocks. Miss the playoffs two straight seasons, and you’re eligible for the awesome show.

Why wouldn’t the NFL not want to showcase the Packers? A new coach, an elite QB and all.

I can’t wait.

Packers can't be forced to do it because they will have a new head coach.

In October 2013 the NFL announced that, in the absence of a team volunteering to participate in Hard Knocks, the league could force a team to participate. Teams are exempt from being forced to participate in three circumstances: (1) they have appeared in the past ten years, (2) they have a first-year head coach, or (3) they reached the playoffs in either of the two preceding seasons.[8]

What?!?! Well, they should volunteer to be on Hard Knocks. Would do wonders for the boring city of Green Bay, and the working-class folks there mostly paid for the Packers’ $400 M renovation.

Look at what “Making a Murderer” did to the city of Manitowoc.

Martz is a little old, but I'd be on board with the idea of hiring him. I very much doubt it will happen, though.

Would you disavow your Packer fandom if Obama was hired?
