The Dallas Cowboys have been drafted by HBO as the subject of this summer's Hard Knocks reality series. Per the network's press release: "The five-episode cinema verité series will focus on the daily lives and routines of players and coaches as the Dallas Cowboys, an organization steeped in championship tradition, prepare for the 2008 NFL season in the ultra-competitive NFC East."

"America's Team" was previously featured in Knocks' second season, in 2002. After a five-year hiatus the show returned last summer with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Hard Knocks: Training Camp With the Dallas Cowboys premieres Wednesday, Aug. 6 at 10 pm/ET.
