  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:

    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.

  12. 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

  15. 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

    I'm sorry, I'm away for one night and I have to catch
    up with rbr at 626 new messages, so I missed this one.
