Another year, another Tour de France, another three weeks of listening to Al Trautwig make fun of Bob Roll.
I wouldn’t have thought it possible, but he’s even more intolerable this year as he knows enough to be dangerous. Last night I caught up on the time trial footage I missed while on a car trip on Saturday, and heard him trying to invoke images of previous time trials, for example, and I wish I remembered his exact words, “the one where Lance passed Jan Ullrich — such an air of finality!” Ugh!
And following the trend of television networks taking weird names, OLNTV is changing its name to ‘Versus’ in September. So we have the network that’s going to be ‘Man vs. Man, Man vs. Beast or Team vs. Team’.
Sorry, I just thought about Man vs. Fish while drinking my morning coffee and ended up with the coffee up my nose. When do we get to watch OLNTV, Sanity, and Reason versus the Focus Group?
