[edit] Trivia
- On Thursdays, Total Access covers an eight-team fantasy football league in which the team "owners" are film and television actors. In 2006, the divisions were named after Miami Vice characters Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs (Super Bowl XLI was played at Dolphin Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida).
- This title was used by Fox Sports Net for a magazine show about the NFL which ran in 1999. It was in a block with Hardcore Football, which lasted until 2002.
