Personally, I think it would be a major distraction, so I'd say no, but we have a glipse of the Hawks thru The Real Rob Report and it doesn't seem to cause any issues.
Thoughts?

I'm thinking Niners... They like attention.

I'm assuming that's sarcasm? They approached us last year, and Pete turned it down. As much fun as it would be to see a lot more behind the scenes stuff, I agree... hell no. We need everyone focused on football only.

Didn't know that. With all of the open practices and celebrity visits to USC, I had just assumed that this is the sort of thing he'd be fine with.

Give the dude a chance and don't overreact or overthink preseason. Go Hawks. Lacy will rush for 1,100 and 10TDs. Bend the knee.

That was absolutely painful to watch. It was the first and last bit of Hard Knocks I ever saw.
What I took from that scene wasn't any sense of entitlement in 8-5 (confidence yes, entitlement no -- but then again, I didn't watch the whole thing), it was the coach's abysmal incompetence in cutting him.

I want our team's mantra to remain: we are preparing for the Super Bowl. No distractions. No focus on that which does not help us prepare to win it all.
