  1. I'm watching the "Roadside Tour" and there are a couple of
    guys who apparently work with the show who have dressed
    up like lions and chased around Mario. And then when talking
    with BigMig who was speaking in Spanish, one of the guys
    translated him joking to say that BigMig thought he had a good
    chance to win. BigMig smiled gracefully, apparently not at all
    in on the joke.

    Is it me, or is this just painfully not funny?

    Lets hope someone from OLN monitors this newsgroup. First, THANKS OLN FOR
    ALL THE TOUR COVERAGE! WE GREATLY APPRECIATE IT! ... BUT ... The race can
    stand on its own. Phil, Paul and Bob are great. Give them free reign.
    Send Al and Kirsten and the Cutters on a long vacation or back to auto
    racing and field hockey. We don't need that kind of nonsense.

    You don't need to educate your audience about the sport. If they aren't
    already educated, they'll come to rbr where they'll learn fast or be eaten
    .... well done. And you don't need to entertain beyond the excellent and
    colorful (though at times, inaccurate) commentary team of Phil, Paul and
    Bob. The racing itself will entertain.

    But PUHLEASE ... the cutters are REALLY lame.

    The Cutters suck. One of them just explained how the Green Jersey is
    awarded each day to the best sprinter...and this was meant to be an
    explanation for why Armstrong is wearing it today. Sheesh.

    Check out these jokers:

    http://www.dr.dk/skum/angora/grafik/wall/cykel1024.jpg

    They were hoping for a wildcard, but strangely enough, it went to some
    French team instead.

    Their DS is a firm beleiver that they only need two riders, a sprinter and a
    climber, as most stages in the Tour either finishes with a sprint or on a
    mountain top.

    Their team jersey btw is sold out at the moment. They've sold about 6000
    pcs, where Team CSC only have sold about 1000...

    I can see that you are new to the sport. To me, it seems quite
    disrespectful to Mario and the BigMig and, worse, not even
    very funny.

  13. Hey Lancefan, if you like SNL, stay home on Sat night and watch - this
    happens to be cycling - "Bob Roll took a dump in our RV" quote of
    Cutters on Tuesday's show - If you find this funny, then you are just
    an idiot

    Personally, I stand corrected. I thought last year that the Cutters
    were OK, now, that they have their own exposure, and I get to
    actually see what they're doing. They suck. I was wrong, and the
    denziens (sp?) of RBR were correct. It happens once in awhile. While
    they're at it, take out Trautwig, that guy just looks and sounds
    dumb. At least Gumm is fairly hot. And thinking back on it, she
    actually asked some good questions to Bob (I'm sure she was prompted,
    but nonetheless).

    Bottom line... Cutters, out. Who actually thinks that they're from
    Indiana anyway? Probably just some rich kids living off of their
    trust funds.

    Tom

  16. wow...how ironic that you think they're idiots and anyone that likes
    them to be an idiot; and this is your debate. very strong one...you bust
    me for using CAPS...good one, you really truly got me there...

    BOTTOM LINE...i think they're funny...others think they're funny...you
    can't please everyone...and if you're in this forum, with the exception
    of some..you're hard-core cycling fans... i think OLN is trying to
    promote it to new-comers...it doesn't take a marketing genius to
    realize that...

    I was a defender of the Cutters last year on this newsgroup. I should
    have been shot for that. Now would somebody please end my pain and
    shoot them. They truly suck! They remind me of every drunken college
    fan that ever yelled something stupid at the TV camera during a
    football game. Running around yelling Lance's name and Woo! Woo! at
    the top of your lungs is not funny. Please OLN end the madness! Pop
    the whale! Loose the Cutters.

    I repent,
    Buzz

    new messages, so I missed this one. But, :heather:
