[USML Announce] AP Report: Comcast Sports Bailing On "Winick on Winick"

[Brad Jansen]

>From the wire:  "Winick on Winick," the Comcast reality series featuring
roto god Jeffrey Winick, will go on hiatus after Sunday's USML reporting
period ends.  The original plan was for the series to run through the USML
trade deadline.  "If Winick's Berliners were trading at the Riptorns' pace,
we would continue," producer Mike South said Wednesday.  "Also, there is
some fan fatigue.  And we have had difficulty finding some fan of Winick to
watch this show."  South said there still could be a season-ending
retrospective, especially if the Berliners somehow can climb out of last
place.  But it's doubtful the show will return on a weekly basis.  "There's
only so many scenes we can show of Winick prattling on and on about Brandon
Wood with Winick's son at his side, crying and begging his daddy to stop
it.  It just was too painful," explained South.
