Real Sports was gritty, tough, argumentative, controversial, tense, surprising, dangerous, and just plain ballsy. It took more chances than any show on television today.
"I not only respect this man, I revere him."
Real Sports on HBO aired its series finale on Tuesday night, and longtime host Bryant Gumbel sees the end of something that will likely never be...
"The league is constantly trying to figure out what teams are good fits for different projects and different shows."
"We can’t wait to show the world the incredible personalities on the Miami Dolphins and the unbelievable preparation they put into each game."
"I don’t think it’s a bad thing for people to see our day-in, day-out hard work."
"To me, it's out of bounds," Lampley said in Kellerman's defense.
"Although goodbyes are never easy, I’ve decided that now’s the time to move on."
The series deliberately tries to stay in the background, merely documenting the everyday action.
"The fact that I didn’t even know it was back – that’s a problem."
