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

"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"

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.
