Thanks, FRiend! Looking forward to TdF 2012, and to your commentary on the race.

I guess we'll be watching the Tour on the "NBC Sports" channel now since they bought out Versus. Ugh, hope NBC doesn't ruin the event like they've ruined some of the Olympic sports events. I hope they have the usual TdF crew: Phil Liggett, Bob Roll and Paul Sherwen. (I forgot who the other guy was?)

Too much NBC in the world today... *barf*

The Tour simply would not be the same without Liggett and Sherwin. I'm sure NBC knows that. Bob Roll is inciteful because he has logged lotsa miles himself. I think they are likely to use Frankie Andreau for some tech stuff. Terry Gannon also became a quick study working with Adrian Carstens who is no longer with us.

I am just praying that NBC doesn't torture us with Bob Costas. I hope he is occupied sticking his smarmy tabloid interview schtick at the Olympics. If they drag him out to pretend like he knows cycling I have a simple message for them both ...
