Tom -
Good question, was I talking about "wanna-be males" -
--a lot of us women watch TV sports too, including me, but I hardly
think we are much of a target market yet. (This is a family rated list after
all so I guess we'd better keep whatever other ideas "wanna-be males"
conjures up to ourselves.)
--or men who "wanna-be" sports heroes. I consider myself a fairly
normal woman and I'll admit to fantasizing about grinning modestly into the
lens of an ESPN camera as I dismount gracefully after winning some
incredible race - actually, dismounting gracefully is my biggest fantasy of
all!!!)
