Hard Knocks episode three is when you realize you're just ready for real football

That feeling of Hard Knocks episode one is one of the best feelings in the calendar because you're like, we want football. And then you get to episode three and you're like, okay, I wanna play real games.

I just feel like the way that this whole thing went down, it's gonna wake up a lot of different GMs and owners around the league where it's like, oh yeah, you don't actually have to trade somebody just because they ask you to.
