I SHOULDA WATCHED THE INDY 500
I can't recall ever saying this before, but I really should have given it some attention. Not because of the driving, not because of the rain delay, which are basically equal in the entertainment department for me. But because this happened:
Yep, it's pretty much what you might call race-car porn: the sight of Ashley Judd in a rain-soaked sun dress celebrating her husband (or boyfriend) (or guy who stole Ashley away from me) winning the race.
Ashley's excitement is understandable: In a thrilling finish, Dario Franchitti took home the Indy 500 win when...ummm...the race officials just suddenly decided to stop the thing. Seems worth watching, huh? Three hours of a rain delay and then they just stop the race. Why would I watch that?
Well, wait. I just heard Eric Casilias say on ESPN Radio that the rain delay at the Indy 500 got better ratings than the NBA playoff game that day. What? Who and the what?
