The National Football Post lists five teams it wasn't to see on HBO's Hard Knocks. Among them are the Baltimore Ravens, Washington Redskins ("America loves a good train wreck"), New Orleans Saints and Oakland Raiders. Topping the list is the Pittsburgh Steelers:
↵↵↵Personally, I’m a bit shocked that there hasn’t been more buzz about putting the team with arguably the biggest fan base in the country on the next installment of Hard Knocks. Currently three months removed from a Super Bowl loss, the Steelers have it all: A winning franchise rich with tradition, a personable, intense head coach and a quarterback that has gone from accused sex offender to husband-to-be in roughly one year. We’d get to hear James Harrison bitching about fines while Hines Ward gets his balls busted for appearing on (and winning) Dancing with the Stars. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I would love to watch Hall of Fame defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau go about his business.

I'm not sure I would want to see the Ben Roethlisberger story turned into TV drama - I've had quite enough already. But other than that, I think the Steelers would be a good team to follow. It would be nice to get an inside look at how Mike Tomlin and LeBeau operate.
↵By the way, NFP also lists the five teams it doesn't want on Hard Knocks, and they're the Colts, Titans, Patriots ("This whole series would likely focus on Tom Brady's hair"), Broncos and Jaguars.
