 Every episode began and ended with the lead character reading in  voiceover chapters from a fictional book he had written about his  life as a successful sports agent. The point of this was to show  that the character did the exact opposite of what he wrote.  Robert Wuhl (qv) said he got the idea to do this after seeing a  book written by Donald Trump (qv). Wuhl said he always wondered  what the difference was between what was written and what was  actually done.
