Any Given Wednesday with Bill Simmons

After 14 years at ESPN that ended with his unceremonious ouster -- are the bridges still smoldering in Bristol? -- Bill Simmons is back in the game on HBO. A multiplatform agreement with the prolific on-air/online personality includes the weekly talk show "Any Given Wednesday," which features the host and his guests touching on everything from sports and entertainment to pop culture and technology. There are also field segments and Simmons' distinct commentary on current events. "I'm really, really excited to drop my first F-bomb on TV," says Simmons, the founding editor of Grantland. com and the creator of the new content site The Ringer. "We are going to figure out nudity down the road, as long as it's tasteful. "
