Oh, come on Ken give it a rest already. He just said he thought that everyone expected low ratings. What else do you want him to say?

And the second question just dredges up the same tired argument about whether or not Tony was serious in his remark. We covered it already, ad infinitum, ad nauseum. No one knows except King George and he isn't talking.

Been there done that. What's the point of covering the same ground again, when there can be no new answers given, unless you or anyone else can get inside King Georges head to answer part B, or the sponsors' heads to address part A.

Now, before you accuse me of not wanting to talk about the business of racing, I do. But what I don't want to do is go back over the same tired questions that couldn't be answered then and can't be answered now.
