Message: [QUOTE="Stern, post: 1422293, member: 527"] His deal wouldn't strictly be for an on-air talent. HBO has all but stopped their sports department pretty much aside from REAL SPORTS show. They gave up on sports documentaries a few years back, they got rid of Inside the NFL which they had forever, they also got rid of the Costas show, the Joe Buck show...etc. HBO wants back into the sports business and putting Simmons in charge of their documentaries (he did create the ESPN 30 for 30 deal) and let him do a sports/pop culture show that airs monthly or weekly. He would pretty much run the HBO Sports department and get paid as an executive more than just an on-air talent [/QUOTE]
