One of the most popular shows leading up to the NFL Season is HBO’s NFL Hard Knocks. The most difficult thing for the HBO crew to do is find a team willing to let the film crew around and allow the cameras to film everything that happens during training camp.
The Seattle Seahawks and the San Diego Chargers both look like they have turned down the show this year. One team that has been mentioned as a possibility is the Cincinnati Bengals.
Paul Domowitch with the Philadelphia Daily News tweets that the Bengals will be on Hard Knocks this year.
Per @pdomo, who is wired in at NFL Films, the #bengals might be the team for HBO's Hard Knocks

The tweet by Domowitch was deleted but here is what it read:
"Bengals will be featured team on HBO’s “Hard Knocks” series this summer.— Paul Domowitch (@pdomo) June 15, 2013"
The team was featured on the hit show in 2009. I think that is the moment that Chad Johnson fell in love with the camera. I wonder if Chad will call up his former employer trying to battle for a roster spot.
