GM Brett Veach is open to possibility of Chiefs being featured on ‘Hard Knocks’
HBO’s “Hard Knocks” show continues to be a fan favorite and the number of teams featured has expanded in recent years.
Where “Hard Knocks” once focused on just one team, this year fans saw the New York Giants’ offseason featured, and early next month the Chicago Bears will be shown at training camp. Once the season begins, the show will focus on all four AFC North teams.
The Chiefs haven’t been on “Hard Knocks” since 2007 when Damon Huard and Brodie Croyle were quarterbacks and Larry Johnson and Priest Holmes were the running backs.
While on the GM Shuffle podcast, general manager Brett Veach was asked if he would be in favor of the Chiefs being on the HBO show.
While it would be great to see Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Andy Reid or Chris Jones, the bigger story would be about ... the old Tecmo Bowl video game.
“I do what they tell me,” Veach said. “I mean, if they want to do that, I think it would be cool. We have some kick-ass Tecmo Bowl. Every year, I bring the old Nintendo and we fire up Tecmo Bowl. So once we get done with meetings, we play a few rounds of Tecmo Bowl every night, so I’m sure that’d be good footage to have.
“I did win the championship last year. So that’s a little brag on my Tecmo Bowl skills but yeah, I’d be all for it. It would be a lot of fun.”
