Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Lewis had been one of the stars of the first Hard Knocks series, a look at the Super Bowl champion Ravens in 2001 when he was their defensive coordinator. Since then HBO has called it TV's first reality show. ... "We don't know what's going to happen," Sabol said. "We're just going to show up with six cameras and start rolling. ..." While you have to believe Chad Ochocinco will be greatly interested in anything that might raise his profile, he'll need teammates to avoid the kind of off-field issues that could turn this year's Hard Knocks into a standard season of Cops.
