If ESPN had had the money to outbid Fox, they'd be in the
driver's seat with TV rights.

In contests like this, fitness = big bucks to invest.

Ah.  That 'splains it.  I was wondering how Speed got the clips and
ESPN didn't.

Please note that I'm not saying I like the new exclusive contracts.
I'm just observing the way things go--and I feel sorry for RPM2Night.
I hope they all land on their feet and have long, successful careers.
