Dick Ebersol, XFL Creator, Leaving NBC Sports

According to ESPN, Dick Ebersol, forgotten as the creator, with the then-called World Wrestling Federation, of the Extreme Football League, or XFL, has resigned in a contract dispute with Comcast.

The first thought that comes to this blogger's mind is apparently Comcast's not into paying what talented people are worth. Dick Ebersol, who not only formed the XFL, but developed and produced Sunday Night Football, now called Football Night In America, and many successful Olympics telecasts, and with Lorne Michaels, Saturday Night Live, is worth a king's ransom.

But Ebersol, who also lost one of his two boys in a plane crash in Colorado in 2004, also said he was just plain tired from all of the plane travel from event to event.

He deserves a break, but also that's a lot of talent just sitting around on a couch. Maybe too much talent.

Stay tuned.
