The Facts:
For the second time in five seasons, the Bengals will be the featured team on HBO’s Hard Knocks: Training Camp series. Originally reported by the Philadelphia Daily News NFL writer Paul Domowitch and confirmed to The Enquirer via league sources, the Bengals have agreed to appear on this year’s series. An official announcement by HBO and the NFL should be coming sometime next week.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As Enquirer staffer Joe Reedy notes, while the series has been popular with football fans because of the inside access it gives them, it is the bane of existence for head coaches. The Bengals were the team in 2009 and won the AFC North with a 10-6 record. When asked over the past couple years about possibly doing the series again, HC Marvin Lewis has been leery of making a return. However, the reasons why Lewis did the series four years ago could ring true this time -- he has a young but mature roster and he feels like they can handle it. It will also give Andy Dalton and A.J. Green more national recognition.
