Don't screw this one up, HBO.



With ex-Jets coach Rex Ryan and his brother Rob Ryan officially on the same Buffalo Bills coaching staff for 2016, the annual summer HBO series 'Hard Knocks' has only one choice in its quest to put together this year's series.

Prior to Rob officially signing on with his brother, the league could have forced one of these seven teams to do the show this summer based on coaching tenure and playoff drought: Buffalo, Jacksonville, Chicago, Oakland, New Orleans, St. Louis and San Diego.



While all three teams (Oakland, St. Louis, San Diego) with connections to Los Angeles are present on the list, even relocation doesn't trump the Ryan brothers in made-for-television drama.

Why the Ryan Bros. shouldn't scare the Jets



As soon as the news broke on Sunday night, the internet exploded with Rob-Rex takes, photos and memes.

If that wasn't enough, here's 3:06 that proves why HBO really has no choice in August. The people want the Ryan Brothers on prime time.
