Brian Stanley: I can say the excitement went out of it after about 20 or 30 weeks. People were not as excited then. There was a lot of frustration. I picked it up and I do not take much interest in these matters because I am not a gambler, or my gambling is extremely limited. There was a credibility issue with the public.
