What's up with that? The OLN guys were almost orgasming over Lance.
"Look at that smile" repeated a few times, then the slo-mo shots of
Lance's face. Then the guy interviewing Sheryl Crow talks about Lance's
smile. Ugh. Makes me want to vomit. And earlier they were orgasming
about the "perfection" of the Postal team's line. Do the commentators
all line up like that to give Lance blow jobs after he races? It's like
no one else in the race even exists. I know Lance is going for 6, but
there must be other stories as well. Is the European coverage more

balanced?

I'd expect that the Euro coverage IS more balanced. Like you, I hope so.
But OLN is catering to the US market and in the US, the TdF is the only bike
race and Lance is the only rider as far as most are concerned.

It is the Only Lance Network. I find it helps to just mute the sound, do
some drugs and watch the racing. ;-)

If you subscribe to the Sean Kelly school of stage race celibacy
then this would be a sure sign that he won't win this year.

Jeez, verbifying a noun again...
And what's wrong with a nice smile, anyway?

Believe it or not, it's not much better in france. All they talked about
also was how much he was smiling. They're also showing the lance chronicles
now.

What's the matter ?? Are you a little upset with Lance ?? Too bad for you.

I liked how either P or P said that all the USPS riders were taking
their pulls, AS #3 skips his pull towards the end of the ride.

Bob roll is always first but Lance does not like it because he use his hands
too much!

In all seriousness, I've found the French, in general, to very much like
Lance. It's not as if they have any great French cyclists to be cheering on
at the moment, and, let's face it, if Lance's greatest crime is to focus
100% on a single bike race, and that bike race happens to be the Tour de
FRANCE...

However, if the French are going to be subject to repeated reruns of some of
the more insipid episodes of the Lance Chronicles... well, maybe we can get
together with them and blame Canada!

WTF? I happen to like and respect Lance very much. This will be the sixth
straight year that I'll be be cheering him on on the Champs Elysees. As far
as I'm concerned he can keep winning the tour as long as he wants to ride.

However, there's more to bike racing and the TdF than Ms. Crow and Peet's
coffee. I guess, that is unless you're a fawning top-posting newbie.

Blow jobs don't count. Ask Bill Clinton.

Hey, I've been taking every opportunity over the years to draw people
into the sport. Even hanging around the pub last night after trivia
and explaining Team Time Trialing to onlookers.

Are you doing your part for a world that doesn't require dumbing down
the sport commentary?

It is good to see Lance smile, so much of the time he looks so dour.

It was a pretty fantastic smile. Even I was touched.

Phil & Paul are catering to the Anglo Saxon Empire... including their
homeland, the US and Aussieland
