What does Bobke have against Floyd?

[yeahyeah]

So Floyd Landis says in an interview, in answer to their decision to
give the yellow jersey to Pereiro, that if he can't get the jersey
back, he probably wouldn't have been able to win the tour anyhow.
When OLN seques back to Bob & Al, Bob spins Floyd's statement to say
"if he can't hold the jersey, he probably didn' t deserve it".

WTF? Is Bob so far up Lance Armstrong's... no wait, I'll be nicer...
is he such great friends with Lance that he has to join in the hate?

Which is a shame when you see how much of a nicer guy Landis is
compared to the UberAssHole known as LA.

And I thought it was just me who was imagining Roll's 'tude re: Floyd.
I guess others have seen it, too.

Landis? You mean the guy you called a "chump" just a few days ago?

We've pretty much decided to watch the am broadcast that we tivo. Bob
comes out with too many inane, non-answers to Al's questions during the
"expanded prime time coverage." Plus Bob has definitely drank too much
Lance koolaid. Phil and Paul are heads, shoulders, knees and toes above
Bob.

Dumbass -


I haven't had a TV for 5 years, but this year finally got OLN for the
summer.

The coverage is vastly improved over what it used to be. One may not
agree w/ the opinions expressed by Trautwig and Roll, but at least they
know enough to *have* an opinion. The scrubs they used to put on the
commentator team knew nothing about the sport and they would blather on
and on about the wine country and castles and such. It was almost more
a show for tourists, scenery enthusiasts and fans of sunflower fields
than it was for a bike race.


thanks,

K. Gringioni.

If Bob has (as alleged elsewhere) his head up Lance's fundament, I don't
think I'd want to be head and shoulders above him. Just personal
preference, you understand...

For allowing himself to finish 15 minutes down in the DL, yes, hat was
a comment about his racing, not about his character, dummy.

Could it be that Al's questions are totally stupid? I think so. Al's a turd.

Oh c'mon, admit it. Your favorite year was when ABC hired Pierre
Salinger as a correspondant. We didn't need to know the details of bike
racing, but we sure as heck needed to know about wine and cheese.

A possible hint is his uber cool ghetto fab fashion statement of
wearing not one, but two Livestrong bracelets, one on each wrist. Now
there's a trend in the making, I wager

Noticeable improvement over last year. Seems to understand quite
a bit more about the sport & tactics.

I don't think he HATES Floyd... I have to admit that while I like
Flandis I'd have liked to see one of the euros win the tour this year,
after seven years of american victory. OTOH, how many more tours is poor
floyd going to be able to DO, let alone win, with an artificial hip?
yes, lance won and he only has one ball...I'm sure someone will mention
that somewhere down the line.
