Default Who's the ultimate VS. Tool?

Sorry to many of you as this only applies to North American viewers...

I'm watching the 'enhanced' coverage right now and laughing my ass off. I'm thinking who is the biggest ass clown on that coverage? I'm voting for Robbie Ventura. Did anyone seem him in the Astana kit huffing and puffing up a mountain speaking BS?

Close second had to be Roll's soapbox stand about how cycling is so clean and these positive's are just a sign that cycling is cleaning up its act. Hah!

Please! Robbie is at least kind of cute (reminder -- I'm female) and Bob is funny and entertaining. Al Trautwig has been and always will be the ultimate VS tool. I am mystified every year as to why he is even there. Can't they get Bob Costas or something? I'm sure he could con me much better that he knew something about this sport.

Tratuwig used to drive me nuts! For some reason, this year he doesn't bother me. It's that F'in Ventura guy. He's such a weenie. He should really be a motivational speaker or something. I wonder if he has a van down by the river...

Draft Odessa....even better, get Hooters to sponsor because it is going to take something other than cycling to convince any station to broadcast cycling in the next year. Maybe the Playboy Channel...

I've got it!! The Tour needs to go straight to Fox! They would make it sensational! The more drama the better. In fact, scrap ALL the rules and make it kind of like Thunder Ball. Then we'll see who really has the kahunas to win.

Jan doesn't do it for me, sorry. I was pretty excited about that rotten cheater Basso coming to Disco, but it didn't happen. He seems to have some time on his hands. I don't know if he can even speak English, but, well, I don't care . They could bring in some supermodel to translate for him and then we could all be happy. It's a global community.

Ventura. Too polished and funny how he's not drooling over Landis anymore.

Have you gotten a load of his photo on the VS website? It's like for a soap opera or something. WAIT! This is a soap opera!
