  1. With all these sprinters shooting blanks these days, what we need to speed up the interviews with
    the Media, and to standardize the moans and [censored] that the likes of McWhiner are spewing out is a
    formally approved ~Excuse List~

    Something like:

    (1) I couldn't get on a wheel;

    (2) My lead out man firked up;

    (3) I got boxed in;

    (4) There were too many ~no hoper~ wankerz in the way

    (5) Petacchi has to be on somethin';

    (6) etc.; etc.;

    Then McWhiner, and others of his ilk, could just ride by the Press Corps and shout ''Numer 3
    today mate.''

    Why not? Just about everyone involved in any sport on a national or international level who deals
    with the press has a list of cliches ready to recite when asked.

    Usually two lists--one (like that above) to explain failure, the other for success.
