Dick Ebersol has agreed to return to NBC Sports following a brief departure. Ebersol is now listed as a senior advisor, and is expected to have a role in producing Sunday Night Football and the Olympics, according to NYTimes.com.

Powell's POV: Ebersol was instrumental in WWE's Saturday Night's Main Event program and is a longtime business ally of Vince McMahon. Ebersol recently inducted Bob Uecker into the WWE Hall of Fame, and Jim Ross labeled Ebersol a lock to enter the celebrity wing someday. Thanks to Dot Net reader Adam Lebow for passing along the news.
