HBO's Browns-Themed "Hard Knocks" Promises Intrigue

The new season of HBO's "Hard Knocks" debuts tonight at 10:00pm ET, and a final preview trailer was released today. The Browns "offer a plethora of intriguing storylines" for the show this season ( NFL.com, 8/7 ). Tonight's premiere "should be good." It figures to be "both revealing and entertaining," and the Browns are "never boring" ( THEATHLETIC.com, 8/6 ). Appearing on the show carries the "advantage of exposure, which can also be a disadvantage when it comes to how a player portrays himself" ( CLEVELAND.com, 8/5 ). For those so inclined, SI.com goes with, "The Cleveland Browns-Hard Knocks Drinking Game" ( SI.com, 8/7 ).
