The Breeders Cup, although big to serious fans, means little to casual fans-as the ratings reflect.<BR/><BR/>Agree with you on the Star Factor. Golf '08 is an example. The PGA ratings dove after Tiger went down. The NBA experienced a similiar dive after "Mike" (no last name needed) retired. Now with new fan friendly stars, ie Lebron James, etc, the rates are climbing.SaratogaSpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05181152277681879529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8420729300769326017.post-55840645233789676072008-11-10T16:55:00.000-05:002008-11-10T16:55:00.000-05:00Keith: Thanks, I was thinking the same thing rega...Keith: Thanks, I was thinking the same thing regarding second tier "fringe" television.<BR/><BR/>Regarding the Bills....how much time do you have....Edwards was basically Belichecked...remember he's only a second year QB with less than 20 career starts.

It's just frustrating that the audience needs incentive to watch/come out and play.<BR/><BR/>As a side note - I watched our Bills throw away a perfectly winnable game. Are they playing for 2009 and getting Edwards some valuable experience? Or have they just left him as starter for too long?<BR/><BR/>I can't tell anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
