I did not know that Ed Carpenter was TG's stepson.

EC actually seemed to have a few good runs last year but, yeah, a total nepotism ride.

I wouldn't count TG out. I don't claim to know what he's doing, but I'd be real surprised if he was really done.

Remember when Henry Ford put Edsel in charge, announced thier product line would not change in the future, then went sunbathing in Florida? Anybody remember what happened after that?

Take from www.speedtv.com article on Tony George's ousting / resignation.

“Our company is healthy and weathering the economic recession well,” said Mari Hulman George. “Jeff Belskus (president and CEO of IMS) and Curt Brighton (president & CEO of Hulman & Company) are both doing excellent jobs in guiding our companies through this difficult time. Many hard decisions have been made and now our companies are well positioned for the future.”

Tony must have really ticked off his ma & sisters, I don't imagine you will see him at the unemployment or food stamp offices in the near future. He did most likely spend close to a billion dollars with the Indy League and that might have affected the family funds a little but not as much as we would think. Gee, I feel so sorry for the guy.................................NOT!
