But there's not a lot of comedy set within the world of something professional, not with a professional logo on it.

And then when it's not a professional team, well, then you're in wacky land because then the fans don't really...

They won't accept that.

Did that predate you too much?

Yeah, that predates me.

You know, I remember the program, but I wasn't an L.A.

But yeah.

I just think it's a very difficult place to land a plane because good comedy is going to piss off somebody.

And there's nobody more sensitive than people within the orbit of sports.

And they're going to complain to some exec who's not going to stand beside you because ultimately they could replace you with anything because it's cheap.

So it's not worth the battle.

Yeah.

Same thing they did with The Jump.

Bye-bye.

Even if it's a hit, when you look back, and this wasn't a comedy, but I will go down...

I would take it to the grave that Playmakers is one of the best television dramas ever written.
