Events such as the Masters golf tournament remind Bryant Gumbel why he does "Real Sports" on HBO.
The monthly newsmagazine marks 15 years on the air this week, standing even more alone as a home for strong television journalism than it did in 1995. Gumbel, its host, suggests the deals that media companies make to televise sporting events -- for example, CBS and ESPN for the Masters -- keep competitors largely out of that business.
A phrase he can't stand is "broadcast partner."
