Simmons released the following statement via thewrap.com
“One of the many reasons I joined HBO was to see if we could create a show built around smart conversations for sports fans and pop culture junkies. We loved making the show but unfortunately it never resonated with audiences like we hoped and that’s on me. I love being part of the HBO family and look forward to innovating with them on other ambitious programming ideas over these next several years. I want to thank the dedicated staff that worked so diligently with me behind the scenes to make this show every week. It’s difficult for me to imagine not working with them anymore”
