AJ Smith doesn't mind letting everyone know his when it comes to TV and HBO's Hard Knocks:
Speaking of Smith, he got a great answer from Chargers GM A.J. Smith on
the topic of HBO's “Hard Knocks” show. A.J. Smith declined a bid by NFL Films to
do the show from Chargers training camp a few years ago. He called the show
“entertaining” but told Darren Smith (no relation) he couldn't “possibly
comprehend” having a camera crew present while the team prepared for a season.
“I think it's a distraction, I think it's fake, I think it's phony, I think
it's put on,” he said. “I think it's basically a motion picture, and anyone that
wants to be in the motion-picture business or enjoy that stuff, they buy into
it, they enjoy it. The fake phone-call conversations, the fake tryout
. . . the whole thing is a joke.”
The new season of “Hard Knocks,” starring the Bengals, debuts Aug. 12 on HBO. Just in case A.J. wants to set his
TiVo.
