Bob Rolls commercials for OLN are wacked!
Anyone know much about his riding career? I couldn't find much on a yahoo search.

I love his commercials. They definately promote a more light-hearted look at cycling. Now if only he would stop saying "Tour DAY France". :D

I wish he could keep his hands still when he talks, it drives me nuts. I also wish they would use him for the Tour De France.

I was just having this discussion with one of the owners of my LBS. She seems to think/hope he will doing commentary for Le Tour. Does anyone know why he wasn't last year?

I'll vote for Bob.

I really enjoy his commercials and his one liners. Other than the one I use for my signature, the other one liners I enjoy are: "Opinions are like elbows-everyone has two and they're both bent." and "When the wood creaks, out comes the freaks."
