We are essentially in the business of telling stories. We would like to think that most of our stories are basically human stories with sports as a backdrop.

Many have been with the show for years, and they have sources in the business, so we do know things, but until it is verified, we don't run with the story.

We tell ourselves stories in order to live.

We constantly run lines together before every show too, and then there's a long, traditionally long, story to tell the audience every show. Today, we're doing it twice.

The luxury we have when we do a series is that we go through a long journey, and it keeps a lot of information and things to be revealed.

When we started, we knew the show was going to be hit or miss, and we needed to find a core audience to really make us survive. And I think we've been able to do that.

Data, I think, is one of the most powerful mechanisms for telling stories. I take a huge pile of data and I try to get it to tell stories.

Neurologists say that our brains are programmed much more for stories than for abstract ideas. Tales with a little drama are remembered far longer than any slide crammed with analytics.

I've always loved shows like '48 Hours' and 'Dateline,' and I've always been passionate about getting to the truth, and journalism.

I wanted to tell a story that interested me as much in the telling as in the watching.
