(Yes, I'm on deadline and procrastinating)
At yesterday's presentation to advertisers introducing its new fall shows at Carnegie Hall, CBS TV head Leslie Moonves made a horse racing handicapping metaphor that I thought people would find funny, especially Karl and Ranchwest
-------------------------------
The star of Wednesday afternoon's program was really Moonves himself, who, if he didn't spend as much time on stage as his rival Zucker--who was master of ceremonies for most of the two-and-a-half-hour NBC event at Radio City Music Hall--gave the hard sell as to why CBS was the place to spend money. He compared CBS to a horse that is a sure thing and said that the other networks weren't, no matter what they said.
"What good is getting a good price on a horse you know is going to lose?" he asked.
------------------------------------------------------
But Les, does that mean CBS is 1-5 and everyone else is just 10-1 and above. Or are you an adherent of Steve Fierro who says if one horse figures to be 3-2 or above in your odds line, longshots in the race are false overlays??
:D
