I know that Bobby Julich is trying to mend old fences, and kick start
his tired career again. I know that he has harbored a HUGE amount of
jealousy towards Lance since Bobby wore back number #1 in the 1999
Tour de France, only to crash out miserably in the TT at Metz.
If he is sincere about getting past all this hatred, why doesn't he
put on a LIVESTRONG band? I know the winners of the past 5 stages have
them.
Anybody know Bobby personally?

Maybe someone is passing them out to stage winners and they forgot to
give one to Bobby. Who really cares?

Who cares? If there is so much pressure to wear them (from the likes of you
or any other "fans"😉 what is the significance of the band? It certainly does
not indicate that an individual is supportive. It is more like they don't
want to catch any criticism so they wear the damn thing. Shoot, even
Carmichael "left mine at the hotel". Why would you *expect* Bobby to wear it
if CC does not even care enough to do so? Wearing it means you gave what, a
dollar? Wow, there are much more important things (or a lot more money from
star athletes) that can be done.

Are you wearing yours? If so, you are a homer. If not, you are a hypocrite.

Why not focus on the real story, which is why Nike can only afford 1
million to the fund? I'll admit that 1 million is a great help to the
fund. But for a company that netted 945 million on 12.3 billion in sales
in the fiscal year just ended, 1 million seems paltry.

I've been wearing mine for a couple of weeks and while riding in the 98
degree heat around here. It's beginning to Smellstrong.

Because he's not some Armstrong sycophant and has got enough integrity to be
his OWN man.
Sometimes NOT playing follow the leader is worthy of greater respect than
the minions who
imitate the latest trend. Come to think of it, I haven't noticed his tattoo
or a stud earring either.

Pssh. How much of their profits need to go to *your* favorite charity
anyway? What percentage of your salary did you give to "Live right"?

What!? Too low!

Not unless you add everything Nike contributes to charity as well. You

*Real* philanthropists don't need to advertise the fact.

seriously, who gives a rats ass who is wearing them- Just by the fact
that Al (I am so Bored) Troutwig keeps talking about them and asking
Carmichael about his - makes me want to take mine off - I have noticed
the yellow band is quickly showing up on every douche in town - It was
cool 4 weeks ago, I think it has Jumped the SHark last Friday

Oh really now? The way you feel about it now is how I have from the start.

It never was cool. Cool is supporting organizations you believe in without
bragging about it or using your participation to goad others.

Proof that Mr Julich reads RBR, and speaks to his son during the Tour.
Bobby faking a wrist injury to keep Riis off his back, and secondarily
to tell Lance that a Livestrong bracelet won't fit over the bandages.
