    Joe Philbin said the Dolphins are on the return of HBO's Hard Knocks. It was canceled last season due to lockout. The last one was the Jets in 2010.

    Philbin said he wants to show the new direction of the Dolphins. The Parcells era is finally dead.

    Not sure what to think of this. My bet is, it was a Ross move.

    Heh, I'm a bit stunned tbh, but think the franchise needs the exposure.

    Problem is tho, this is a boring team aside from Dansby, esp with Marshall departed.

    Crap. Big distraction. As much as I live for anything Dolphins, I'm not happy about this.

    I'm going to have to agree its a Ross decision. Philbin seems to like to keep everything underwraps without too much media involvement. Regardless I already have HBO and excited to give this a watch.

    If boring means free of ******s then I'm all for it.

    Rookie 1st round QB and Cam Wake aren't boring either.

    I think its great. Nobody can follow up on the Rex Ryan Circus act but hey, this is a good thing. I imagine the camera crew will not mind being in a year round vacation area to do the filming eh ?

    I'm thrilled. I've always enjoyed this show about teams I couldn't give 1/2 a **** about. Can't wait. When does it start?

    eh... I don't really like the decision. The added distractions of camera crews following the team through training camp in its first years under an entire new coaching staff, with entirely new systems are not something this team needs.

    It's clear to me this is a Stephen Ross move all the way. Pats are the pats... Jets have all the new york attention, and the tebowmania, Bills made big splashes in FA, and the phins are irrelevant yet again in the AFCE. What a more perfect way for Mr Ross to get his team back in the spotlight.... I have a hard time believing Ireland and Philbin are actually looking forward to this. Whatever, it is what it is I guess.

    That being said, I'm sure I'll watch it... and really enjoy it. It is nice to have the team be a bit more open this year than in years past. I just don't think its a great decision for the team at this point in time.

    Oh, and it was real great getting in my car to come home here now on lunch break and listening to Gannon and Schein laughing their asses off at our team, and ownership once again. /sarcasm

    This was... IMO... the right decision for the Dolphins. I think there are a lot of fans like myself that have become incredibly frustrated by this team over the last few years. In fact, I was hanging by a thread, and was all-but-set to completely abandon the team.

    Then, they selected Tannehill. Awesome. That's a pick I can get excited about.

    Now, the Phins are going to be on Hard Knocks. Awesome, again.

    I have been pretty vocal that I think Ross is a bad owner, and Ireland is a sub-par GM. I have no real opinion of Philbin. This is the perfect opportunity for those guys to win fans, like me, back over. Or not. We'll see. However, I am very excited about this decision, and I look forward to getting an up-close view into the inner working of the team I've been a fan of since 1972.

    Great decision!

    Very excited about this. I've been watching for years, and always thought it would be great to get such an inside look at my favorite team! Should be a lot of fun!

    I'm stunned by the decision (on both sides) but I think it's pretty awesome.

    Just be prepared for the HBO producers to REALLY play up the "storied franchise now at the bottom of the toilet bowl and trying to crawl out" angle.

    They've been 'distracted' for the past decade plus. It can't really hurt.

    A matchless opportunity for someone to say something really stupid that haunts the team throughout the season.
