Huh. Had no idea HBO had pulled the plug. The show had been on for 31 years, and was drawing about two million viewers a week. Seems pretty healthy for the network. Guess not.

Bob Costas, per usual, was not one to mince words:

“Bob Costas, on the show’s final episode, said it best, calling it ‘a bone-headed decision to discontinue one of the best and longest-running shows on television.”’

And, where will I go to fulfill my weekly quota of dumb looks and people talking past each other? Work? I try to interact with them as little as possible. Cris Carter and Dan Marino, your quietly comic work will sorely be missed.
