What have you done for us lately...?

Ok, yeah, I'm posting a thread from TF. But it's got to be the first TF thread I've ever seen where I AGREE WITH ALMOST EVERYONE.

Let the merger proceed.

Of course what is there to work with?

Ratings down. No real danica story to work with unless cheever hits her again. PJ lasted one lap, but he has an ugly tattoo to show for it. I am Indy doesn't really do much now that Indy is over. Penske wins every race. Very uncertain future for teams and series.

Marco is about it, but he is not on a competitive team. He'll do well, just as Danica did last year, but it will be tough for anyone but Ganassi or PEnske to actually win.

But in all honesty, it was never clear to me what Gene was actually supposed to do. I don't think it was clear to TG either. How was GS supposed to increase sponsor value? By packaging the sport as some bad rock opera for bad boy knights in rocket ships? Clueless.

Do you suppose that Gene is pimping for Anton? Or is this Gene's reward for continuing discretion regarding knowledge of something from the past?

Perhaps a savvy business man was offered a vaguely worded contract devoid of any language requiring results. Besides, there will always be his classic I am Mindy. :rolleyes:

To give you an idea of mindy's marketing prowess, he said after this year's farce that the people who weren't at the race didn't matter. :confused:

I never understood how hiring a cartoon character was going to help.

I still say it's gotta be the remarkable resemblance to Ron Jeremy that drove TG to agree to hire him.

"FDR" :rofl:

Ok...so I guess it isn't much of a surprise that TF isn't a haven for history buffs... :gomer:
