The Texans are coming. (via HBO)

Are you ready for some football? EXCELLENT. It's actually a few weeks away from NFL training camps actually starting but there's no reason we can't begin to get pumped up through the magic of HBO's "Hard Knocks" preview.

In preparation of the Texans taking over, the cable network walks us through the history of the show, from 2001 with the Ravens to Jerry Jones doing his Cowboys thing all the way Rex Ryan being chubby with the Jets.

Soon there will be football.
