Well, its not that I am biased one way or the other, I like most sports except for baseball (I just don't get it), but it is typical of Americans to only care about themselves. When we had an amazing rider in the tour, all of a sudden Bicycling became popular, at least in my area. Now that Lance has retired, it seems no one gives a crap anymore about it.

If we had a dominating soccer team that has won 7 world cups in a row, I don't know if you would make those same comments.

I suck and I'm a poser...but, your not biased?  :yupyup:

I didn't care before Lance, during Lance or after Lance. I just think it's boring...I don't care if I'm not in the brotherhood of man during this event. I also don't care about the Paris-Dakar event, whatever that show with the 3 judges (I'm having a brain fart) checking out "talent" or any "reality" shows. I just don't get excited by the things that get most people.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first.

I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
