    Again, I haven't watched in a couple of months, but it's my understanding that they've added a small studio audience for exactly that reason.

    That might be a good start. It's definitely not a show I've continued to seek out, though I might watch if I am bored and come across it.

    I've been reading The Ringer pretty regularly.

    It was hot trash, so not surprising.

    Does anyone know how his contract was structured? Was there something written in that gave HBO a buyout?

    They didn't buy him out, just canceled his show.



    Also, canceled, dammit.

    I don't know how the deal works, but they ought to pay him his money and let him get to work on a 30 for 30-like project.

    Maybe he can executive produce documentaries a la the stuff Ross Greeburg did for HBO, for years.

    I thought that was part of his deal.

    The problem with what HBO said in its statement about them still working with him to do 30-for-30 like documentaries. ... is that almost every good sports documentary idea has been done within the last decade. Or am I underestimating the appetite people will have for even the third-tier stories that haven't been touched already? Or are there just lots of good ideas out there and I am not thinking creatively enough?
