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...'

.. 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.

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

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

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.

Neither do I. They have ads here?
...And I think the best thanks would be honest feedback, assuming they actually read these pages.

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

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....
