Latest figures report 49% of attendees to the tracks are female. Of course, these young and upcoming handsome drivers will continue to attract younger fans and sponsorships geared to promoting products for females as well as continuing to promote the beer drinking guys.

The survey matches the ratings - as of December 7, the NFL’s most watched games this season:

• Cowboys/Giants Dec 3 27.6 million
• Bears/Patriots Nov 26 24.2 million
• Cowboys/Bucs Nov 23 23.8 million
• Cowboys/Colts Nov 19 23.4 million
• Colts/Giants Sept 10 22.6 million
• Cowboys/Eagles Oct 8 22.1 million

I guess the Cowboys are still America’s team since they have been involved in 5 of the top 7 games.

In the era of bball that you are so gently reminiscing, the Lakers were just as productive as the Celtics. The battles were epic and the heroes giant. But anyone younger than 30 wouldn't have the Celtics in their top teams. The organization just hasn't been since Bird was on the court. Mine were sentimental: MLB: NY Yankees - my grandmother was a huge fan and it stuck. NFL: Miami Dolphins - going to HS in Miami - there really wasn't anything else. NBA: Mavs - i adopted them while living in Dallas, lived through some pretty lean years and then the great Mark bought them. What a break. NHL: Stars - another adoption. it is fun to be with a franchise since its birth - or rebirth if you will. I'd like to add: The Premiership football league in the UK: Chelsea; and College football: The TCU Horned Frogs! Go Frogs! Fun! Thanks.
