THE ILK Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I don't even know what this means. Maybe the Jets should stage these long drawn out holdouts every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbro22 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 There's no such thing as bad publicity. There isn't a TV executive in the world who wouldn't cream in his jeans at the prospect of the name of their show and network appearing in every single article written about a big name player signing his new contract on their show especially if that player's holdout has been the biggest story of training camp. That's already happening. It happens in every city they do HardKnocks in. They knew what they would be getting when they signed the Jets on for this season. My point is, no ones signing up for HBO for tonight. And, I'm telling you right now this will not go down on HBO tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbro22 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Hey, I'm not saying this HK's announcement is going to happen. This was all hypothetical. If it did happen, HBO would benefit in that free advertising sense. They already are... Plus they're guaranteed to get it in next weeks episode. I don't see the point of rushing or waiting to get it done on tonight episode... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slats Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I said facts. Everyone already knows what HBO is already. No ones subscribing to HBO because a football player signed a piece of paper on it. Everyone knows what Budweiser is, too, doesn't stop them from buying advertising. Free advertising is huge. Even if nothing gets done or reported on Hard Knocks (and it's incredibly unlikely that it would), people are talking about HBO and Hard Knocks. The producer of Hard Knocks is going on the radio to discuss Revis. They're milking it for all they can. It raises the profile of the show, HBO Sports, and the network as a whole. It's good for business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicious89x Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Yes, because if there's one thing we've learned this past offseason, it's that Darrelle Revis is all about making money for other people. Which is why I don't get this whole "HBO is behind it" idea. The only thing related to Hard Knocks in all of this is that Revis sees all the attention the Jets are getting because of it and he figures if he gets himself on there and makes himself marketable that means more endorsements, which means more cash. If he misses out on a program that would highlight him as a personality, I'm sure he's losing money by doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jussssstme Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Same difference. You'd figure Jets fans would be happy that the franchise's best player since Namath is on the verge of getting locked up for life. He's a hater I tell ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernJet Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Do your really want to get that extra few dollars and spend the rest of your career in Cleveland? Look at it this way. If you were on a horrible team with no stars and therefore lots of cap room you could get the ultimate deal. But you would be out of contention in November and bored silly in my opinion. You have best of both worlds. You will get a very big payday, but will take a little less so Jets can pay all the great teammates you have so that you will in a Superbowl run every year of your remaining years in NFL. Then when you retire, you can be a NY hero with a ring, restaurants, clubs, clothing lines etc. , or you can take more money, no play-off runs and a McDonald's franchise in Cleveland when you retire.

jussssstme Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 some posters have posted here that they signed up for HBO because of HK, that has to be a good thing for a subscritption service, no ? and if you feel you can't see the big announcement without HK, you're calling right now to get it I picked up HBO last month specifically for Hard Knocks.
