speaking of numbers in context... you said attendance is down, your reason to say that the sport is 'dying'. but that would be like saying only 80k watched the super bowl this year, since that's all that was in attendence. it certainly doesn't tell the whole story.
and the handle may be down-how much of that is due to almost constant disputes over wagering and signals. i heard on steves show the other day that january is down; coincidentally, january was when vegas lost some signals, wasn't it?
