HBO's Hard Knocks on the Jon Gruden-led Oakland Raiders is a "gift from the content gods"
-
"It seemed impossible to top last year’s choice of the 0-16 Browns, but the documentation of this Raiders team will be a gift from the content gods, and the loyal fans living in the Bay Area who are being abandoned for sandier pastures in Las Vegas are the sacrifice," says Danny Heifetz. He says of head coach Gruden: "There is no better person to put a live microphone in front of than Jon Gruden," adding: "This season of Hard Knocks is going to have massive expectations, and Gruden must ensure it gets out of hand. The man has a reputation to uphold."
