The "winning" is debatable, but Charlie Sheen's career might not be a total loss.
According to ESPN, the troubled actor is in talks with billionaire media mogul/Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban about developing shows for Cuban's cable network, HDNet.
ESPN said Cuban confirmed Sunday that he's had several conversations with Sheen about this.
"You've got somebody that everybody has a whole lot of interest in who's doing some interesting things, to say the least, and we always look for interesting programming by featuring interesting people doing interesting things," Cuban said before the Mavericks' game against the Memphis Grizzlies Sunday "I reached out and we've had some conversations, and we're going to work on doing some things."
According to ESPN, Cuban said there have been discussions about Sheen hosting a talk show or starring in a reality show on HDNet, but nothing is certain at this point.
"We're trying to decide," Cuban said. "Right now, we're taping a lot of different things that he's doing and we'll try to figure it out. It's still not 100 percent certain. We'll do something together, but it's not certain it will be a show. It'll come down to what he wants do and what his situation is. We'll just figure it out from there, but it's a unique opportunity, I'll say that."
