hummmmmer

okay so i never really got into the whole parade on just how utterly fucktarded versus’ commentary on the tour has been this year or any other previous years for that matter. it’s to be expected. it’s an american network, running american ads with a desperate need to appeal to american viewers. add all that up and it doesn’t take a genius to figure out why bob, phil, paul and craig are contractually obligated to start and end every sentence in the broadcast with “lance” with every breath they can muster. i don’t have to like it and they don’t care about the educated viewers who actually care about what’s going on in the race. all of that, again, is perfectly fine by me.

but…

my dear mr. craig hummer, please don’t make me throw up by calling armstrong’s 20 second effort to close a gap this:

“THE ACCELERATION HEARD AROUND THE WORLD”
