Bo Scarbrough admits that he's addicted to watching murder mysteries on Lifetime

Sometimes it will just be one movie. Sometimes it will be as much as a six-hour viewing session.

That's how much Bo Scarbrough likes the Lifetime channel. Most probably think of Lifetime's programming as being geared toward women. Not Scarbrough.

Alabama's sophomore running back, the 6-foot-2, 230-pound freakish athlete that just ran for 180 yards during the Tide's Peach Bowl win over Washington, doesn't like watching ESPN or other sports channels. For Scarbrough, Lifetime serves as a mental break from football, something that's been important at times the last two years due to injuries and the pressure that comes along with being a former five-star recruit known to many as "The next Derrick Henry."

"If you watch one show on there, you're going to want to watch another one," said a smiling Scarbrough, who is especially a fan of Lifetime's murder mysteries. "My family gets mad at me sometimes. They'll be watching football, and I'll come in and flip the channel to Lifetime. It's my getaway from football time."
