That's true for pretty much all North American sports coverage.. I love hearing the crazy soccer hooligans doing the commentary for matches. GOooooooooaaaaaaaaaal!

The World Rally Championship coverage shown here used to have a British guy doing the commentary as well, and he was really good. Now there's some assmunch guy who probably does nascar normally... I swear I can hear him doing Dr. Evil style air-quotes every time he says anything even vaguely technical. ('They use this "all wheel drive" stuff for traction').

hahaha.. that was a classic moment.

Overcoming is a good documentary. The extras, which are many, contain some memorable episodes. Those other ones look awesome too. Maybe it's time to get a highspeed connection.

I will pay to watch you spank him.

Well...chalk up one public predilection for Darkmother. At the BBQ? :lol:
This thing's gonna get outta hand Wes. Bring lots of plastic wrap.

Clarification for all the TDF poolies. Alejandro Valverde is not eligible for the white jersey competition. I can spell but my math sucks. Sorry for the error. Thanks to Joe Bent for the 411.

What do you say Cavern? Let's throw a messer team together and take the Tour by storm.

Excellent idea !! another one would be a group ride tonight

I'm here til 9 and then home to my wife, the kids are at their Lola and Lolo's tonight. So I'm a scratch.
I was given a hint as to a late birthday gift. Jammer Wear (embroidered).

yeaaaaa Trafficjammer thongs:D

I was in the Winners at the Duff and there are those wicked pink Adidas biking shirts for 30$, who's getting one? I guess they are modelled after the T-mobile ones but just toned down and without the advertising. They are pretty fresh.

More along the lines of jacket and pants with Traffic Jammer embroidered on them. :rolleyes: Can't wait.
Thongs are wasted on my sad form.

8:30 rain drops JUST starting here at the bottom of Yonge. Could be a lake rain though.

What Tour? Tour of the local bars? Tour of cheap eats places? Bike shops? I'm in!

last year a journalist for "Outside" magazine did a piece where he was training for PBP with the intention of purposely going on as many steroids as possible. He basically went to a steriod doctor and said "give me all you've got". there's no rule stipulating against drug use in the randonneuring governing body so it was all legit according to them. although ironically he is probably the first randonneur in the history of the sport to take EPO; most of them just eat snickers bars and drink chocolate milk and coffee.

anyway, it's an interesting piece because you never really hear the real story from the althletes who take this stuff.

any who cares if some of them are doping, they can take it and then go off it and do great, look at Ricahrd Virenque (sp?).

hmm Tour of somethin' ..... travelling messers vs bike police road races for charity?

tour of cheap eats! i'm in like flynn...

Or millar.

Edit: Is there a good cheap place to park DT somewhere within range of CM tomorrow? Or maybe somewhere free?

You driving to CM?

That's kinda lame.
