Did She Actually Say "POSSIBLE?"

Looks like Dave Attell has signed a deal with Fox, according to Hollywood Reporter. Here’s our favorite part:

Given his writing background on Insomniac and NBC’s Saturday Night Live, it is possible that Attell would be involved in the development/writing of his starring vehicle.

It is possible?! Possible? In the paragraph before this one, they said they were hiring Attell because he’s “…really funny, very edgy, has a huge following that cuts across all age groups…” and that he has a “specific point of view.” Why, after having acknowledged all of that (and we must say that we concur), wouldn’t you hand him the keys to a sitcom and tell anyone with ears that he is going to have nearly total creative control of anything he dreams up? (Of course, they might actually not really give him that control but wouldn’t you at least create that illusion? What sense does it make to say that it’s merely possible?
