It's almost fall, which means that soon the Chicago-based "Sports Action Team" will begin airing after Sunday night NFL games, as reported by the Hollywood Reporter back in July.

NBC will air episodes of Sports Action Team, a scripted-and-improvised half-hour comedy show featuring well-known sports figures as well as comedians and improv actors.

"Chicago-based production company Towers Productions Inc., which developed the show in association with NBC owned-and-operated WMAQ in Chicago and its president and general manager Larry Wert, said Friday that it will produce 17 episodes of 'Team.'"
