"Inside the NFL," the longest-running show in cable TV history, will conclude its 31-year run on HBO after the current episode, which debuted last night and reruns five times this week.
"It's like saying good-bye to an old friend," said HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg, who added the show still averages 2 million viewers per week but increasingly had trouble differentiating itself in a sports TV landscape vastly more crowded than it was in 1977.
"It's been a hell of a run," he said. "No shame here, no bitterness, no anger, just a lot of pride."
Nick Buoniconti, a host on the show for 23 years, said, "I'm very disappointed, but that's life."
On last night's show Buoniconti, a member of the undefeated 1972 Dolphins, thanked Amani Toomer for scoring the winning touchdown against the 13-0 Broncos in 1998 and for the Giants' upset of the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII.
"I owe him a couple of glasses of champagne, not just one," Buoniconti said. |
