"Lance Armstrong will compete for Team RadioShack "as a cyclist, runner and triathlete," the company announced in a press release. "

WTF

"RadioShack keeps people connected in a highly mobile world through innovative technology from leading brands," said Lee Applbaum, RadioShack's Chief Marketing Officer. "As one of the greatest athletes of our generation, a father, a cancer survivor, and a tireless advocate in the fight against cancer, Lance Armstrong understands the power of keeping people connected and that's why we feel he's the perfect partner for our brand. "

"This is an exciting time at RadioShack," added Applbaum. "We are re-launching our brand with a new creative platform in early August, and now having Lance on our team - an American icon who embodies the spirit of mobility, connectivity and philanthropy - really allows us to accelerate our brand's evolution."


Never thought of RS has suppliers of innovative technology...but whatever; I had a similar "WTF?" moment when the USPS announced they were sponsoring a team.

I remember back when I was in college, I bought a Tandy calculator (i think tandy is a radio shack brand) anyways it broke in about two weeks. I took it back, told the pimply faced kid at the counter. I still remember his dead pan quote "Welcome to the world of Tandy"

The more American teams the better, in my opinion. Edit ^ LOLz

I think it's great. Radio Shack is no more bizarre than USPS or Team 7-11! Can't wait to hear the team line up. I'll be buying my batteries from Radio Shack from now on.

I can't wait to see all the neg posts from all the "It's cool to hate Lance" crowd! :popcorn

Lance has impressed me by being the consummate teammate over the past few days.

How did this guy get to be CEO, and what does he say about companies he doesn't run.

psssst: (it's "The Onion")

Don't know what that is.

Oh, checked out the site, now I get it.

He impressed me by bridging that gap at 37 after 3 years off...

Go Team RatShack!
