CORTLAND, N.Y. -- The now-infamous, Sopranos-esque Roscoe Diner meeting seemed to suck all the optimism out of the Jets on getting a deal done with Darrelle Revis.

That was abundantly apparent through the lens of HBO's Hard Knocks, which premiered tonight.

The cameras weren't allowed into last Friday's meeting between general manager Mike Tannenbaum, director of football administration Ari Nissim and Revis' agents, but they did capture Tannenbaum in the car ride back to camp in Cortland, N.Y.

"They haven’t said one thing that I agree with at all," Tannenbaum said to Nissim. "We’re so freaking far apart that I feel like a failure."

"I wish I had another card to play here,” he added. “A one-year deal. A four-year deal. A 10-year deal. In good conscience, we can move on. Maybe go trade for a corner. In good conscience, why don’t we move on, and we’ll try again next year?”

The show did not follow the All-Pro cornerback, as it has done with previous holdouts, nor did it include his representatives (his agents have said they declined the chance for Revis or the Roscoe Diner meeting to be filmed). But the Jets' perspective -- albeit the one they chose to present on camera -- was painted as a bleak one as Revis' holdout for a new contract dragged through the first week of camp.

Originally developed as a television series by book packaging company Alloy Entertainment, the idea was described as "Desperate Housewives for teens.

Alison DiLaurentis, manipulative and vindictive of Rosewood. Spencer Hasting, a perfectionist always trying to outdo her overachieving sister and the only girl in the group to ever stand up to Alison; Hanna Marin, overweight and so desperate to be popular; Aria Montgomery,a unique and retro downtown chick whose parents insist that she calls them by their first names; and Emily Fields, a competitive swimmer from an ultra-conservative family who is most protective. But before the start of the 8th grade, Ali disappears after getting into a heated argument with Spencer at a sleepover, and the group falls apart. One year later, Aria, back from a trip from Iceland that left her feeling confident, beautiful, and more stylish than ever reluctantly returns to town to find former nerd Mona Vanderwaal and a newly-thin Hanna to be the new social leaders of Rosewood Day. Soon Aria begins an affair with her English teacher, Spencer falls for her sister's boyfriend, Emily is in love with the new girl at school, and Hanna starts to shoplift. Suddenly a mysterious person called "A" threatens to reveal the girls' secrets from past and present, including ones they thought only Alison knew; and one in particular that the girls refer to as "the Jenna thing" Ultimately, Alison's body is found cemented in her former back yard, and the DiLaurentis family holds a funeral for Alison in Rosewood, "the only home Alison ever knew." By the book's end, the identity of "A" remains unknown.
