HBO’s Hard Knocks to feature the New York Jets

The New York Daily News is reporting that HBO has selected the New York Jets as the subject of their popular reality series “Hard Knocks”, which gives an up-close look into the day-to-day of an NFL training camp.  This means that we’ll finally get an answer to the question that has been plaguing NFL fans for a long time now: What exactly does Rex Ryan eat for breakfast???

The Jets issued a statement yesterday, and plan to make an official announcement later today at their team headquarters in Florham Park, NY.   HBO’s cameras will travel with the team to Cortland in upstate New York for camp, which begins in July. With players like Mark Sanchez, Darelle Revis, LaDanian Tomlinson and Antonio Cromartie, there is certainly plenty of potential for characters to emerge, and intriguing storylines to develop.

But certainly, the leading role here goes to Ryan, who has grown into one of the league’s biggest characters in record time, and has displayed a knack for saying exactly what’s on his mind, running his mouth, flipping the bird (and eating whatever’s on his plate) … whether the cameras are rolling or not.  And that’s the kind of stuff that HBO is banking on.

UPDATE: It turns out that Rex Ryan recently underwent lap-band surgery to aid in his fight with obesity. What’s that, you ask? From the Huffington Post:

In a lap-band procedure, a plastic band is inserted that encircles a patient’s stomach, effectively shrinking it and curbing their appetite.

I had no idea.  I guess that means we’re going to be waving bye-bye to that enormously rotund midsection of his.  This is really throwing me for a loop.  I mean, no more fat jokes at his expense? That accounts for like 66% of the content on this site.

Apparently seeing video of himself  – and more specifically, his stomach – at a hockey game may have had something to do with Rex’s decision to have the procedure done.
