If you’re a conspiracy theorist, then the New York Jets’ signing of holdout Darelle Revis on Sunday to make it on the last Hard Knocks of the season is right up your alley. And apparently, NFL Films wrapped up filming at Jets’ camp on Monday, the day of the Jets’ press conference announcing the signing.
I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but you have to expect HBO to be highly anticipating the final installment of Hard Knocks with the ratings it’s receiving this season. We have the press release previewing this season’s final episode.
