DJ Reed, a cornerback with the New York Jets, recently revealed an amusing tale about his involvement with the popular programme “Hard Knocks.” Reed professed his love for the programme and called it “lit.” But attempting to see the show while staying at a motel that didn’t have HBO posed a special obstacle.
Reed used a clever workaround to see the show despite the lack of HBO in his hotel room. He asked his girlfriend for assistance, and she FaceTimed him while pointing her phone at their television. Reed jokingly recalled how he had asked his fiancée to hold the phone firmly while they were watching TV to ensure a seamless viewing experience.
Jets CB DJ Reed said “Hard Knocks was lit” but noted they didn’t have HBO in their hotel room so he had his girl FaceTime him with her phone facing TV.

Reed’s girlfriend ran into some hilarious roadblocks when trying to recreate the experience of viewing “Hard Knocks.” The video has a few stutters because Reed revealed that holding the phone up had worn out her arm. She occasionally had to interrupt the show to send a text, which unintentionally caused hiccups in their improvised viewing arrangement.
