HBO talks 'Hard Knocks' w/Jets

Under Eric Mangini, the Jets might have been the least likely team in the NFL to agree to become the subject of HBO's "Hard Knocks."

(Well, maybe the second-least likely, after Tom Coughlin's Giants.)

But there's a new sheriff in town, and Rex Ryan's Jets would appear to be a perfect fit for the training camp mini-series.

So, how about it, HBO?

"Ross Greenburg and Steve Sabol have had discussions with the Jets," was all an HBO spokesman would say, referring to the presidents of HBO Sports and NFL Films.

Hmm.
