What a snob!

But that was still up 2 percent from the same race broadcast a year ago. It was better than the ratings for the NCAA selection show on CBS, better than the ratings for Tiger Woods' amazing PGA Tour victory on NBC, and markedly better than the ratings for the Rockets-Lakers NBA game on ABC. And it continued an upward trend for television ratings in NASCAR this season. They have worked very hard over the last decade, looks like they are going to hold. Hopefully they don't go the way of the NFL and the Yankees trying to charge more to watch what should be free to the consumers who have to sit through the commercials. All it proves to me is that there is no end to the supply of male American couch potato(e)s who don't have the energy or ability to go outdoors and do something for themselves. The only "major sports" I think are more boring to watch than NASCAR are soccer, Olympic dance, and cockroach racing, something I saw once at a local fair in NE Florida. Watching NASCAR is like watching ceiling paint dry. "What color is that ceiling paint?" "Why, it's...beige." "The Food City 500" Were the promoters handing out bags of groceries?
