Add Detroit To List Of Teams Passing On Hard Knocks

By Marcus Vanderberg 

The Detroit Lions are the latest NFL team to turn down HBO’s offer to appear on Hard Knocks.

The up-and-coming franchise appeared to be a long shot based on comments last year from Lions head coach Jim Schwartz, who said he wanted no part of the HBO documentary series.

“That’s not me,” Schwartz said last August. “I mean, once that genie’s out of the bottle it’s hard to get that one back in.”
