Increases that may sound huge really aren't when the base figure is next to nothing. Either way, it's nothing to cheer about. The ICS has a long, long road to go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25142730.post-87206133781407207072008-04-30T10:38:00.000-07:002008-04-30T10:38:00.000-07:00the womens golf before had big numbers too...I bet...the womens golf before had big numbers too...I betAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25142730.post-65734359957525617362008-04-30T10:19:00.000-07:002008-04-30T10:19:00.000-07:00l love that it's assumed the bump is due to danica...l love that it's assumed the bump is due to danicamania and not the fact that the series have merged, and that there are, contrary to popular belief, some of us out there that didn't watch IndyCar last year, but are now watching this year because "our guys" are in the races. That COULD be an attribute to the bump in ratings... but let's go with the dumbed down masses flocking to their tv sets to see Danica drive backwards through the field and become indignant when other drivers dare attempt to pass... <BR/><BR/>(the sarcastic vitriol is not directed at you personally btw... just at the ignorance of the situation in general) <BR/><BR/>maybe I'll close the lid on this puter and go have a nice relaxing lunch... ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
