This effort to convince America that soccer is interesting is bugging me more and more everyday. I like Hank Hill's take on soccer .
If you're going to cover the Tour you need to broadcast each stage in prime time.
The whole broadcast style used to be more fun and cool. Versus used to do great things each year with a theme song. The funny Bob Roll commercials are gone.
I don't like the main commentator now next to Bob. He tries too hard.
Amen to that. Thank goodness the stupid World Cup is finally over. *Yawn*
Ridiculous that NBC SN is showing some stupid soccer game nobody cares about at 8pm ET instead of the TdF prime time show. And today's stage in the Pyrenees was one of the "must watch" stages! Glad I DVR'd the live show this morning...
I finally got through the final day last night and felt very good about it. I found it interesting that Chris Froome said he was disappointed no one attacked Nibali in the mountains. It would have been fun to see him challenged and I think I would feel better about his win. Maybe he is clean- who's to know? I still think it's freaky how he rode away from everyone so effortlessly. Regardless, he is the victor and the TdF is over for 2014. Onward. Next year should be interesting with Froome, Contador, Cavendish and Talanksy back.
