I'm not sure about this new team

http://www.sportsya.com/english/news.php/Saunier_Duval_to_withdraw_sponsorship_following_Riccardo_Ricco_positive_doping.html?id_estruc=283&id=183284

that's a pretty horrible name.

i would have added a coma and a question mark, to make the title a question:

"American Beef, Scott?"

Jerseys should be awful

I'm not sure about this new team

http://www.sportsya.com/english/news.php/Saunier_Duval_to_withdraw_sponsorship_following_Riccardo_Ricco_positive_doping.html?id_estruc=283&id=183284

It's what's for dinner.


:lol::lol::twitchy::lol::lol:

At least it's not a women's team. ;)

And good they're not riding this:

I think it will be a psycological advantage for them when they go up against the American teams


think about it, would you want to beat your meat in a race?

Eddy Merckx rode for a sausage company

Beef and beef by-products a sure winner

No there's a team jersey I might consider buying!

I hope it has a big ass steer wrapped around it

:D

...and two chihuahuas

think about it, would you want to beat your meat in a race?

I figure puns and jokes like these will be milked again and again until the cows come home, but I'm not going to steak my reputation on it or anything. :p

:rolleyes: As Paul Sherwen would say, "That's completely and udderly ridiculous to be steering us out into left field like that, something only a cow-ard would do!"

The new team will now be titled Scott-American Beef and will come back to the competition at the Classic of San Sebastian in eight days.

Isn't most American beef pretty much doped up with bovine growth hormone and whatnot? Seems like a perfect fit.

Jerseys should be awful

And yet it will be purchased by many American men named Scott.

I'm still wondering if this is some kind of joke??? But apparently not (http://www.as.com/ciclismo/articulo/tour-ciclismo-saunier-duval-participara/dasclm/20080725dasdascic_1/Tes). One can only hope that a potato company does not gain advertising space on the shorts. :twitchy:

may go over big with the gay crowd

:rolleyes: As Paul Sherwen would say, "That's completely and udderly ridiculous to be steering us out into left field like that, something only a cow-ard would do!"

Well fortunately for me, Paul Sherwen can be full of baloney, spouting all that bull all the time. But it's all Kosher as long as nobody decides to grill me about it.

I'd buy a jersey! ;)

I for one find puns more annoying than funny.
Kind of like clowns.

Puns are awesome.
Clowns are creepy.

Two cannibals are eating a clown, when one turns to the other and asks, "Does this taste funny to you?"

Sorry, I couldn't help it. :o

Any cycling team that had two cannibals on it would be awesome!

Ok Ok now I got to wipe off my keyboard. Spewed milk out my nose. :D
Good ot hear that the team is hopefully remaining intact. no use throwing the baby out with the bath water.

LMAO Cannibles and evil clowns are cool. You could have a killer cowboy clown riding a bucking steer, now that would be a cool jersey.

Oh, no. Don't apologize. That was hilarious.

LMAO American Beef is a Mexican Company.

Hopefully not butcher's aprons.

I can hear Phil and Paul now:

Where do you think Mexico is?

hint: everything from Behring Strait to Tierra del Fuego is "America"

Yeah thanks, I'm pretty sure when someone advertises something as "american" in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA that most people from the united states of america will think that the product is from the united states of america.
It must be painful to live in your house with you always pointing out facts to people.

My point is that everyone in N. and S. America is American.

My apologies for the snarky tone. My fiancee is Mexicana, and it somewhat of a sensitive issue for many in that part of the world, and has become a pet peeve of mine. Again, sorry.

No problem, I apologize for mine.
I get it not being from the US and all, it can be annoying.

My point was that alot of cycling fans will cheer for this team now because they are "american" and inevitably this point will come up again and again.

Do they actually advertise in the US?

Do they actually advertise in the US?

Wait until the ToC and Georgia, other than that I have know idea, I don't live there.

Too bad their official website looks like it's in perpetual construction.

Do they actually advertise in the US?

I'm not sure either. They must be trying to get into the European market, I would think.

Some other Mexican entities (including the State of Chihuahua) are signing on as well, so it may be that S-AB is going to be a Mexican team.

Edit: here's an archived (http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fweb.archive.org%2Fweb%2F20070203160914%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.amebeef.com%2F&hl=en&ie=UTF8&sl=es&tl=en)(and mostly uninformative) translation of their old website.

It's a good move for the North American Beef industry. They've been trying to increase the export of beef for years and this is a good way to get their message out and get name recognition/brand to the rest of the world to try their beef. Cycling is cheaper than F1 or Soccer/Football and if there is a breakaway, the sponsors get ad time for hours on global and regional TV.

As long as the beef doesn't come from or infected with "Mad Cow disease", exports to Europe and other countries might increase.

:lol:
I got educated on that American vs from-the-USA dichotomy when I took Spanish classes. I love the fact that Spanish (don't know if it's just Latin American Spanish) has a specific nationality term for "United Statesians": los estadounidenses.

interesting how quickly the found new sponsers

chihuahuas - they're what's for dinner

I like chihuahuas...I just can't eat a whole one.

chihuahuas - betcha can't eat just one

Gee, do we start calling them The Cows?

Beginning to sound like a South Park episode.

I like chihuahuas...I just can't eat a whole one.

That's what the guacamole is for.

And yet it will be purchased by many American men named Scott.

DUH!

:D

Admit it... You're going to be using a sharpie marker to add an 's after Scott, aren't you?

Should I respond for you?

DUH!

:D


:)

That's what the guacamole is for.

The chihuahua I can stomach. As for the guacamole, you're pushing your luck buddy. :roflmao2:

Funniest thread in the last half-century.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to remove the chocolate pudding from nasal cavity.

I've gotten the rib from South americans about this also. however, the difference is that our country is named The United states of america.
their country's name is MEXICO, or Uruguay, or Panaman. They are Panamanians, Uruguayans etc.
Should we call ourselves : United Statesians?
we're not talking about the continent but the country.
Suggestions please.

:lol:

CLASSIC ! ! :roflmao2:

Remember that joke... If a mime ever starts annoying you in the park, just look at them for a few seconds, start making this facial expression: :twitchy: and then deliver that line in your best Sling Blade (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8CF0izAyrE&feature=related) voice. The mime WILL leave you alone after that.
