The Atlanta Falcons will not seem on the subsequent season of HBO’s Difficult Knocks, league sources stated Saturday.
The selection was made by, among others, owner Arthur Blank, common manager Thomas Dimitroff and head coach Mike Smith. They had been in agreement that the focus really should be on football more than the summer, and they didn’t want anything to distract from that.
The Falcons had been among a number of teams deemed for the show, but they had been never ever formally provided, according to a supply close to the circumstance.
The Falcons reportedly were the network’s 1st option when the New York Jets appeared to be disinterested in performing the show once more, and Dimitroff was non-committal on the subject when asked by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Thursday.
“Right now, I have absolutely nothing to supply on that,” Dimitroff mentioned. “Like all of us, we’ve watched it more than the years and there have been some highlights,” Dimitroff said. “There have been some highlights, no queries about that. It’s exciting Tv.”
