Hmmm... isn't "outside the lines" suppose to be that for ESPN?

I'll give it a try as I get tired of all the extra c**p ESPN puts on the screen, I watch sporting events only on ESPN for that reason.

I wish it wasn't on Showtime.

Sounds like Real Sports on HBO....

Does Showtime have much of a following anymore?, seems Showtime has lost the most popular movies to HBO And Starz. I thought some time ago Showtime lost a few movie contracts to the competition.

Showtime / TMC has more premieres per week than HBO / Max or Starz, I see them when making up the Dvr Alert thread everyweek ... plus with Homeland, Strikeforce & Inside the NFL / NASCAR and this 60 minutes coming up they quite a bit of original programming.
