New-look Raiders to be featured on 'Hard Knocks'

-- What is supposed to be their final training camp as the Oakland Raiders before next year's planned move to Las Vegas will be documented like never before, as the team announced Tuesday that it will star in HBO's reality series "Hard Knocks" come August.While owner Mark Davis and coach Jon Gruden have aired their displeasure at the notion of cameras peering into their privacy -- Davis jokingly told ESPN in March that he would rather fire Gruden than subject the team to the voyeuristic show -- both put up resigned faces."Everybody wants to be a Raider," Davis said in a team-issued news release. And we are going to try like crazy to keep all of our best players as we head to Las Vegas."The Raiders could provide the HBO show with a treasure trove of storylines: From polarizing receiver Antonio Brown, who was acquired from the Pittsburgh Steelers, to middle linebacker Vontaze Burfict, who was voted the dirtiest player in the game a few years ago while with the Cincinnati Bengals, to left guard Richie Incognito, whose list of run-ins with teammates and the authorities is as long as his list of on-field accolades, to quarterback Derek Carr, who is entering what many see as a make-or-break season, to undrafted rookie defensive tackle Ronald Ollie, who already had a star turn in 2016 on Netflix's "Last Chance U.""It's a hard knock life for us," Brown tweeted, before adding: "Get your popcorn ready."Quarterback Derek Carr responded by tweeting: "Yes sirrrrr brodie!!!"As Gruden noted, the Raiders are in a lame-duck transition year.
