Unfortunately you are correct. Can't miss my Rams even if the programming sucks.

Based on the rules that prevent a team from being required to appear on this show... the Rams could not have been forced to get behind the cameras for this season's Hard Knocks. More than one of the rules would prevent the Rams from being the team chosen to do the deed.
Others have pointed this out already, but it's clear and obvious now that the Rams want to... and probably asked to be included in this. This is basically free marketing for the team and (almost more importantly) the brand new stadium. The decision makers have simply made it known with this that the potential financial gain the franchise will receive from this is more valuable to them than any distractions or harm the participation in this could (and probably will) cause to the football side of the team.
I've never seen a team benefit from being on this show on the football field. I don't see that ever changing either. That's why being on this program is usually only reserved for the worst of the worst. It's almost like a penalty to be put on stage for this show. That's why the rules are in place for being the team that may be forced to do it.

I am afraid it will reveal what really goes on behind the curtain and I really don't want to know.
But I like watching train wrecks.
I do and do not look forward to this viewing. Maybe because of this nasty cold virus going around there won't be anything to film.
No good choices.

I worry it'll be a big distraction in what likely I'd a re-tooling year. It is what it is though, so hopefully they just play so well that it doesn't matter to me.

If the Rams want the Hollywood image then this for them. The FO all need to be fired, we need people who want to be actual winners and not wanting to star in reality tv. Whatever no one said being a Rams fan was going to be easy.

Also, I bet Stan and company don't like the idea of the Chargers being represented in LA on this show. They want it known that it's the Rams house.
What? You don't like the locker room scenes?

Well one advantage to having a playoff contender on Hard Knocks is we might finally see one of these teams win a Super Bowl in the year they were featured. That would be cool eh?
But doing it first isn't Demoff sadly. He's a "hey Stan most of the league is trending towards doing their own Hard Knocks, so it's safe for us to look at this now" kinda guy.
Yeah I am of the mind that the Rams should have a Hard Knocks-like show every year that they produce in-house to feature their team in the best light. Put those media types to fucking work too. I mean you're in LA and teams in general don't do that, why not start that trend and be a fucking visionary. Do it first.
