HARD KNOCKS: TRAINING CAMP WITH THE MIAMI DOLPHINS
HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET
SEASON PREMIERE: After preseason visits with the Kansas City Chiefs and the Dallas Cowboys, NFL Films takes its cameras down to Florida, the same year Showtime’s The Franchise trained its cameras on baseball’s Miami Marlins. But Hard Knocks is focusing on the Miami Dolphins, who have logged three straight losing seasons, and who have ripped out my heart more times than the women I’ve known. But the Dolphins, when I was young, also gave me that perfect season, so they’ve got me for life. And, for the past seven months, they’ve got new coach Joe Philbin, a three-way quarterback controversy, and plenty of built-in drama.
