New York Jets owner Woody Johnson would consider having his team appear on Hard Knocks again according to Jenny Vrentas of the Newark Star-Ledger.

Johnson, at the launch of the NFL's new pop-up store on Sixth Avenue between 41st and 42nd streets, said he has heard the speculation that HBO would be interested in having the Jets on the training-camp documentary TV show for the second time in three years. The speculation, of course, began after the Jets made a big splash by trading for Tim Tebow.

"I have heard that, but we have yet to receive a formal invitation," Johnson said. "When we do, we will take a look at it."

Does that mean the Jets have had informal discussions with HBO?

"Yeah but... nothing...," Johnson said, stopping himself to explain: "It’s a formal invitation that we can respond to, not an informal (one)."

Johnson said the team participating in the show in 2010, when the Jets went on to reach the AFC Championship Game, brought "tremendous value." Fans across the country had the chance to get to know the Jets, he said, and and the feedback was only positive. Asked if there was a downside, he said that's something the organization would discuss if it got the invitation.

The Jets would also consider a show on Bravo or a daily talk show with Lindsay Lohan's parents.

Rex Ryan made comments at the owner meetings that he doesn't want to do Hard Knocks this Summer, so if they do it we know its Woody Johnson pushing it.

Why stop there. The Jets should be like Oprah and start their own network. Have a show like The Bachelor where Sanchez picks from 30 women to be his "soulmate." Tebow could host a show like the 700 Club. Greg McElroy could host his own tabloid talk show. Bring back Schotty and have him and Rex star in a remake of Gilligan's Island with Rex as the skipper and Schotty as Gilligan. Of course Woody Johnson would be Mr. Howell and Tanny would be the professor. Then of course Cromartie could star in a Cosby show remake where he raises his adorable kids in Brooklyn. Then we can have Leonhard and Eric Smith chase Santonio and Plax around and we'll have an all Jets version of Cops. Namath could dress up like Hugh Hefner and he and the Flight Crew could do their own version of the Girls Next Door.
