I believe I read somewhere that FX was going to pick it up. Personally it would work better on a network other than ESPN.
It's kind of a conflict of interest for them anyway.
As for the NFL, well until they have "stars" not pull cellphones out of goal posts and running backs getting DUI's just hours after practice, then the same guy fails his drug tests and gets stabbed by his fiancee....... they will continue to self destruct. BUT, because we have the sport drilled into our heads we will continue to watch the NFL and if someone does try another league the NFL and writers destroy it before it starts (the XFL, the USFL).
Same with baseball, the MLB will continue to make billions whether they fuck over a city or not.
People may care but too many continue to watch and go to the games.
Until tv and advertisers pull the revenue plug these sports have carte blanche and know nothing will happen. (Look at the unsuccessful fan strikes, they end up being treated as jokes from the press and the leagues.)

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
