I understand that without commercials there would be no TDF coverage. I want to support them
whenever possible. I cant buy a $40,0000 car. I have no place for an exercise machine. I will not
buy a grill that a guy talks to like its a dog. Next time I buy a computer I will seriously
consider a Dell. But for now the only thing I can buy is a package of Johnson bratworst!!

Surely you can also afford a nice USPS stamp for your mailing pleasure. See, aren't I nice, pointing
out other things you can buy from the sponsors?

I wonder if they have any commemorative stamps with a cycling theme? I know those stamps are a
source of significant revenue. I might be interested in a few if they were done well. I would much
rather have a Lance Armstrong stamp than one with say, and Elvis on it.

The USPS won't issue a stamp honoring a person until that person has been dead for at least 5 years
... So we'll have to wait awhile to see an Armstong stamp (unless you talkin' 'bout Louis).

I did not know that. I wonder if they would do a cycling theme stamp. Is that kind of thing done?
That is more along the lines what I had in mind anyway.

Yes, they do that kind of thing all the time. They couldn't do a Tour de France theme, of course,
but maybe something about the team. It would be a great way to leverage their sponsorship money.
Some marketing hack isn't earning their pay.

What happen to the commercial of Roll imitating Cosell, Madden, and Liggett? I've only seen it
during the prolog and haven't seen it since. Did Madden have a fit? What made it hilarious, it was
the worst imitation I've ever seen! That Roll's all right! -tom

I went out last weekend with the intention of buying a charcoal grill. went to the home depot, and
found that the cheapest gas grill was only $50 more. So I bought it, brought it home and only then
realized it was the brand in that ad. Guess the adverts work!

Gas grills suck.

If you get one with a cast iron grill that is coated in porcelin you'll get much better results. Add
in some wood smoking chips and you'll be even happier. I grill fish about 3 times a week-the only
way to eat it cooked.

Isn't John Madden that over-the-top, overly energetic and heavy set ex-football player? My brother
told me hi is known for marking up the video (which Roll did do) but other than that I can't tell.
But then again, I only ever watch cycling and hockey.

Madden was not a player AFAIK, but the coach of the Oakland Raiders in the 70's and 80's. I do
believe Bobke's act is a takeoff of him.

Isn't the first imitation Jack Nicholson, then Cosell, Madden and Liggett ? Hard to tell who Roll is
imitating, he can't even do himself most the time !

You want to support sponsors ? Buy something from Colorado Cyclist, they have been a sponsor for the
last 2 years.

It is funny as hell, but not like Madden. It just came on again. I never get tired of it.
