The NFL and HBO announced today that Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets will be the subject of this year’s Hard Knocks.

As we are always ready to sell out; we wrote the entire script for episode one, and are publishing a few crumbs of our soon-to-be award winning writing to sell to HBO.

Hard Knocks: New York Jets, Episode 1

“Endless Possibilities”

Written By:

Chris Cook

FADE IN.

INT: drone shot of New York Jets practice field. Perfectly aligned pads set for individual player drills. A sprinkler ticks in the background. Cut to Head Coach Robert Saleh, sitting in his office twirling a pen, in the middle of a coaches meeting.

ROBERT SALEH
You guys see 12 out at that conference in Denver? What was it, a psychedelics thing?

Montage of multicolored flashes, “Comfortably Numb” by Pink Floyd begins to play. Slow motion clips of Aaron Rodgers smiling and running his hand through his long, flowing hair.

DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR
Yeah, yeah. That was…somethin’, huh?

SALEH
Hey man, guy must be doing something right, ya know? Couple of MVPs and a Lombardi Trophy don’t lie.

“Hard Knocks” theme music begins. Montage of Jets players running drills, scrimmaging, and working out in the weight room accompanies.

VOICE OVER
Aaron Rodgers has done a lot in his life, on and off the field. The former Packers quarterback used to avoid the “Purple Haze” of the Vikings and other teams in the NFC North; now the Jets quarterback, his next trip will be to get Gang Green high in the AFC East standings.

Ball’s in your court, HBO…we won’t consider any offer that doesn’t include six zeros.
