Despite their best efforts, the 2023 New York Jets just can't escape the spotlight. Already slated for six prime time games, the Jets are now "bracing" to be featured on "Hard Knocks" this summer according to NBC Sports' Mike Florio. While the Jets are one of four teams that would be forced to accept an invitation to the show, players and coaches have pleaded against this possibility throughout the offseason in an effort to steer away the producers. "I know there are several teams that would love for 'Hard Knocks' to be in their building," coach Robert Saleh told reporters earlier this month. "We're just not one of them." With the Jets already under the microscope due to the arrival of Aaron Rodgers, it is no surprise the team is doing its best to avoid any extra pressure and attention, especially given it already airs its own in-house documentary series — "One Jets Drive." In terms of entertainment value, though, the Jets, more so than the Bears, Saints and Commanders, represent the logical choice for the "Hard Knocks" decision-makers. Whether it be Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner, the reigning offensive and defensive rookies of the year, entering their second seasons, Rodgers and Nathaniel Hackett reuniting after difficult 2022 seasons, or Breece Hall recovering from a torn ACL, there are an abundance of intriguing storylines surrounding the Jets. The "Hard Knocks" producers are likely hoping the 2023 Jets can match the 2010 edition, the last time the franchise was featured on the show, when it comes to entertainment value. For the Jets' players and coaches, the focus will be on replicating the 2010 team's on-field success.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
