Annoying Things Seen and Heard on TdF Versus Coverage Thread....
 
Frankie Andreu trying to describe London today sounded like a stumblemouth high school kid....

And here's Bob Roll: 'London: One monument after another...'

I saw nothing remotely as disturbing as Bradley Wiggins' haircut.

.. so we start a thread to talk about the annoying things on Versus' coverage. Do you people have a positive bone in your body. All you do is whine (every year?) about T.V. coverage. Who here is glad we get ANY coverage.

It's 2007, odds are there is a mute button on the box. As for seeing something annoying, look away.

So I guess we will take this to mean you like Bradley's 'doo.

Did I miss Bob Roll? I didn't hear him for the last 2 or so hours I watched it for....

Dead Extra #2 07-07-07 09:00 PM

I'd rather listen to Bob Roll farting the French national anthem than listen to people *****ing about Vs. TDF coverage.

I looked up his 'do on cyclingnews.com. That haircut is horrid. We need to send him to Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. He may be a world class rider, but that is not world class hair.

ericcox 07-07-07 09:20 PM

Not really annoying, but did anyone notice the name of the cafe in the Visa commercial that played over and over? The Bianchi cafe...

branman1986 07-07-07 09:21 PM

he looks alot like this guy

I liked the Specialized commercial with Bettini, I wonder if it was really his VO.

Let him car pool with Vladimir Karpets. I usually don't care what people do in terms of style, but those guys look borderline homeless.

I wasn't really paying attention to the men's hairstyles.

I didn't know that was something roadies check out regularly.

You sound so threatened.

FrankBattle 07-07-07 11:19 PM

:) I'm bald.

I don't have any interest in hairstyles. I still don't see how or why hairdos that are matted & hidden by a helmet warrant a thread.

And please stop trying to be coy with the "You sound so threatened" remark. This had zero to do with men checking out other men; you'd know if it did .. or if I put the moves on you.

I loved that commercial too. Bettini looks cool on a bike. I want to get a world champions jersey. I did not find anything annoying but when phil said valverde was a "very angry man" I laughed.

Since VS is providing TDF coverage and are advertisers here it would make sense to be kind.

- what ads? i don't see any here on BF...

ElJamoquio 07-08-07 05:38 AM

Neither do I. They have ads here?

...And I think the best thanks would be honest feedback, assuming they actually read these pages.

Snuffleupagus 07-08-07 05:49 AM

Meh, I'm just freaking pumped that it's July.

If yesterday's performance was any indication, we're in for a great 3 weeks of racing :D

why do 'you people' whine about we people who whine about things? :D

c'mon, admit it: most of 'we people' like to goof on 'those people'....

evidence: mr. blackwell's best-dressed celebrity list goes almost totally unnoticed, but his worst-dressed celebrity list always gets the buzz.... :rolleyes:
