Excuses, excuses.

Bill Simmons blamed the schedule for his failed HBO show, “Any Given Wednesday” — because the weekly show was on too often.

The exiled ESPN impresario spoke with “The Breakfast Club,” Power 105.1’s morning radio show in New York, and opened up about why his show was canceled after just five months of air time.

“I wish it’d been monthly,” said Simmons, whose show was shut down in November. “I think it’s really hard to do a weekly show and just pop in and out and be like, ‘Here’s my take.’”

Simmons said that with competing sports programs on networks such as ESPN and FS1 delivering takes day by day, his show got lost because it aired mid-week.

“Everyone’s got the take on whatever,” he said. “I don’t know how you just parachute it on Wednesday and have a take that’s greater than everyone’s take.”

He also acknowledged that people ultimately wanted to see the show fail because of his own divisive personality.

“When you have some success with anything,” said Simmons, in a sort of humblebrag, “I think, at a certain point people are like, ‘F—k this guy.’”

Simmons, who was suspended, then fired by ESPN for his outspoken criticism of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and clashes with higher-ups, told the radio show his relationship with the network remains “not great.”

“It’s really not a relationship,” he said. “But I don’t think it’s as acrimonious as it was. Really weird s—t happened the last couple years. I guess when you have some distance from it and you look back, you go, ‘Oh, I get it, I understand why that happened.’

“They operate a little bit like the NFL operates. And the NFL doesn’t want any player to have any identity whatsoever.”
