LEVY-ING THE TRUTH: SPORTSLINE SAYS TOTAL SPORTS TALKS DEAD

3.28.2000

          SportsLine.com Founder & Chair Michael Levy said
     yesterday that the company had "held talks to acquire" Total
     Sports, but the talks are "now dead," according to David
     Sweet of the WALL STREET JOURNAL INTERACTIVE.  Levy said
     reports of a Total Sports acquisition were "completely in
     error."  Levy: "It's a definite that we're not buying them." 
     Levy "wouldn't say how far the talks advanced or when they
     started."  News of the rumored sale sent SportsLine's shares
     dropping 5.5% yesterday, or $2.0625, to close at $35.25
     (WALL STREET JOURNAL INTERACTIVE, 3/28).
