I suppose the sports hacks are calling hockey's playoff a triumph. Certainly it was undeserved for a league that stuck a finger in the fans' eyes. But look at it this way: it took seven games of finals to get to an audience of
5.45 million. Meantime Wrong-Way wasn't the only one who collapsed at Winged Foot;
the Open's ratings were the worst in 18 years. Golf has a very shallow bench; and once you get past the NFL, so does professional sport.
