Yeah, and basketball is just throwing a round object into another round object.

Whatever, it's the largest spectator sport, and has the 2nd largest tv ratings for any sport. It's not just southern moonshiners anymore. People up north watch it, people out west watch it. It's broadcast in dozens of other countries each week as well.

And it seems to me that if it weren't broadcast on every single station that has anything to do with sports 23.5 hours a day, 6.86 days a week, and 50.96 weeks a year, the ratings might not be so high. Anymore, you can't hardly watch anything else. Sure, other racing events are televised...between 2:45 am and 3:10 am. Sorry, I'm just a little frustrated with the fact that it's on ALL the freak'n time. You know, pre-pre-pre-pre race discussions all the way through post-post-post-post-post-post season results. Ok, I'm done now, sorry.
