Showtime Gets ‘Inside the NFL’

Showtime and CBS Sports are teaming up to bring the NFL studio show “Inside the NFL” to the cable network.

“Inside,” produced by CBS Sports and NFL Films, is set for a Sept. 10 premiere on Showtime, where it will air each Wednesday until February. The one-hour program, which debuted in 1977, recaps the week’s match-ups and previews upcoming games.

“We're thrilled to be joining the successful partnership of CBS Sports and the NFL in presenting the show to our subscribers,” said Matthew Blank, CEO of Showtime Networks, in a statement Tuesday. “It's a perfect fit with our original scripted series and sports programming.”

The networks plan to announce the talent lineup for the show in the coming weeks.

Can anyone tell me now that Showtime is hosting "Inside the NFL" will they still feature the "Beat the host" segment the week to week foot ball pool? I hope they do...because that was one of the hilights of Inside the NFL when it was with HBO. If you have an answer give a shout out and let me know...UgetsNoDollars@Yahoo.com

Me and my wife and friends compete every week. This just is not right, I am happy for showtime. Somebody needs to make sure they keep this segment! People love it! Beat the hosts is as big a part of football as the game itself. Please keep all the fans in mind with the decision on whether or not to keep this segment.

Please showtime continue beat the host! The best part of football Sunday is when my sister and I beat our husband's, son's, brother and father picking our teams on beat the host. Besides it brings the family together for some good clean competition. Please bring it back!!!!!!

beat the host segment is a must for the show.
If the segment is dropped I will probably lose interest and discontinue watching

I also was wondering about the "beat the hosts" segment. I notice that most posts are asking the same question. Unfortunately I don't see an answer. Has anyone received an answer to this question? I would think that Showtime would answer one way or the other.

The best thing about beat the hosts is the game.
Ya'll need to bring this game back, i need it, we need it, and looks like everybody who watches, wants the game........
Bring it back now before the season gets to far in...............

There is no "Inside the NFL" without beat the hosts. That was the only reason to watch. I live in a gambling state, and this was by far the greatest!, If showtime is going to take on "Inside the NFL, then they need to take on what HBO use to have, or in my opinion, i'ts worhless, also with the Economy the way it is an the high gas prices, some of us can't afford the monthlyt subscription, which with HBO you did not need to entertain yourself week after week. Please consider "beat the hosts online"
