Bill Simmons is in talks with HBO for a multipart deal including a television
show.
写文章与讲评球赛风格都颇犀利的知名球评Bill Simmons，最近正在与美国知名影视
频道“HBO”洽谈一份多方合作合约。当然，这个合约也免不了包括一个专属于Simmons
主持的新节目。
ESPN announced in May that extension talks with Simmons had ended and that he
would no longer appear on their platforms even though his contract didn't
expire until September.
Simmons目前的东家“ESPN”，在上个月宣布与这位名嘴的续约不仅谈判失败，也决定
不再让他出现在该公司任何的平台上(包括赛前分析节目、线上播客广播与网络撰文)
－即使Simmons与ESPN的合约要到九月才会正式到期。
Conversations between HBO and Simmons have centered on a television show
along with digital extensions that could be viable for HBO Now.
前面有提到Simmons理所当然会在谈约时，向HBO争取一个由他主持的节目(HBO显然也
乐意给他)。这档节目假如顺利开播，也可以上传到HBO目前正在美国推行的网络看片
专属网站“HBO Now”。
Simmons is also in talks with other companies.
另外一个不太让人意外的延伸消息是：HBO并不是Simmons唯一谈判的对象，他也有与
其他电视网会谈。
