NASCAR ratings, which hit near-record levels for the Daytona 500, have been consistently impressive in the five weeks since Earnhardt's fatal crash. The accessibility of broadcast television, combined with massive promotion, seemingly got the season off to a strong start. But Earnhardt's death prompted unprecedented exposure for the sport. It doesn't appear interest will wane any time soon. Fox Sports, which is carrying the first half of the Winston Cup series before NBC takes over in July, won the weekend ratings again Sunday when it posted a 6.1 national rating for the race at Darlington, S.C. That was 15 percent better than the average rating for the CBS broadcasts of the first and second rounds of the NCAA men's basketball tournament. And it was 24 percent better than the first two games that aired at the same time as the race. Overall, ratings were 75 percent higher than ESPN, which broadcast the race last year. One network TV ratings point equals about 1.022-million homes.

They also kill the horses, don't they? Flood Sports Broadcasting With Death To Skyrocket TV Ratings By Ion Saliu, Dramatist At-Large The 131st running of the Kentucky Derby on May 7, 2005 was a race to remember. It was extraordinarily contested and exciting. The race was won by a 50-to-1 long shot! A 30-to-1 long shot came in second (place). Here are the results by post-position and horse name: 10 Giacomo 50-1 18 Closing Argument 30-1 12 Afleet Alex 9-2 17 Don't Get Mad 30-1 The win (first place) paid $102.60 for a $2 wager. The exacta 10-18 paid $9,814.80 for a $2 bet. The $2 trifecta 10-18-12 paid $133,134.80. The superfecta 10-18-12-17 paid $1,728,507 for a $2 bet (over one million and a half!) If a bettor played ALL 20 horses to win, the cost would have been: $2 x 20 = $40; the payout: $102.60; net profit: $62.60. The return-to-cost ratio would have been 256.5%. Total exactas (straight) for 20 horses is 20 x 19 = 380. Playing all exactas straight @ $2 apiece would have cost $760; net profit: $9,054.80. The return to cost ratio would have been 1,291%. Total trifectas (straight) for 20 horses is 20 x 19 x 18 = 6840. Playing all trifectas straight @ $2 apiece would have cost $13,680; net profit: $119,454.80. The return to cost ratio would have been 973%.

A game where you eat snack cakes while throwing water balloons." Stephanie Nettles Psychologist "It seems odd that viewership is down, given all the slightly charismatic pro athletes out there." Dana Gossage Homemaker "This is hardly surprising. That album came out nearly 20 years ago, and 'I Want A New Drug' was the only good song on it." Fred McReynolds Systems Analyst "I blame the networks. Their interstitial CGI graphics and exploding-helmet sound effects just don't pack the same entertainment Carl Whitson Drill-Press Operator "I guess I lost interest in televised sports when I realized you didn't need to watch it to hang out in Hooters."
