More Than a Game

摘要

Ross Greenburg spent his childhood in the stands watching sports heroes. His adult life is dedicated to telling their stories on screen. Greenburg, president of HBO Sports, has filled his office shelves with 30 sports Emmys, 21 CableACEs, six Pea-bodys and other awards collected during his 27 years at the country's largest pay-cable service. "He has a keen eye for great stories," says Chris Albrecht, president of HBO. "Simply put, Ross is one of the best sports programmers in the business." While he has executive-produced such news shows as Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel and TV movies such as 61~* about Roger Maris' single-season home-run record, his innovations in sports television are most apparent in documentaries.
