This may be an interesting business story to see how it plays out. The Talk was kind of little more than wallpaper by the time the axe fell. But can a ground-up drama be enough of a profit source for an organization that isn't exactly rolling in dough? Does having those production partners change the financial calculus? How long or short of a leash does the show get to get a foothold?

Whatever the true story, wherever it falls, it has the hallmarks of a protracted legal process. What precipitated it....well, we'll likely never know. Such is life. The fact that no one pulled the Sports Sunday promos that show and name her is amusing, but hey, things slip through.
