HBO today announced that it cancelled our favorite show that people stopped watching back in the late ’80s, “Inside The NFL.” HBO Sports President Ross Greenburg: “Inside the NFL has been a hallmark program for three decades on HBO. It has been a terrific franchise. But the television landscape has changed quite a bit over the last 30 years.”
The show, which has aired for the past 31 years, had many great moments (at least that’s what Mr. Greenburg tells us). But this is our personal favorite, featuring a particularly perturbed Dan Marino.
Of course, the clip would not be of any use to us if it weren’t for the faux fear from Nick Buoniconti. Well played, Mr. Perfectville.

Inside The NFL had become too watered down, especially with the weekly blatherings of Peter King “just getting off the phone” with whomever. Costas is great and Collinsworth is solid, but he’s EVERYWHERE now. Marino and Carter were just side shows and never offered any real insight into the game.
