The first sports-based reality series – and one of the fastest-turnaround reality series – continues its five-episode sixth season, presented in HD, WEDNESDAY, AUG. 18 (10:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO. Other hour-long episodes debut subsequent Wednesdays at the same time, with an encore play immediately following each episode’s debut at 11:00 p.m., culminating in the Sept. 8 season finale.

            Episode #2

            The pace of training camp heats up as the pre-season schedule kicks off with the Jets meeting the New York Giants – their rival and co-tenant – in the first football game at the new Meadowlands Stadium. Defensive lineman Vernon Gholston competes to impress the coaching staff.

            A 24-person NFL Films crew is living at the Jets training camp, shooting up to 1,000 hours of video over the course of the series. Camera and sound crews are given unencumbered access to the players’ and coaches’ meeting rooms, training facilities, dormitories and practice fields. The Jets are training at the SUNY campus in Cortland, NY.

We’re done here.
