Sure it would. Aren't we a bit sick of this one balled leg shaving dude who left his wife for a lameass rocker and inspired the ugly bracelet trend sweeping the nation?
i have been very disturbed by these bracelets and no one that i have asked (only people NOT wearing them) has been able to tell me what they are for.
they're for Lance Armstrong?????? thats pretty funny, or not.

Ask any foriegner living in the US what they think of the Olympics coverage.
but here's my theory:
the olympics here are all about the US athletes, right? well, in Canada, they talk about the Canadian athletes as much as possible, but they cant possibly talk about all 3 Canadian medal hopefuls for 2 weeks straight, so they are forced to cover other countries' athletes.
same with England.
now, the Winter Olympics is a different story in Canada, its ALL damn Canadian athletes, all damn day, all damn night.

Originally posted by O'Mankie:You mean the other riders that are consistently five minutes behind…..yeah, that would be pretty exciting to cover. :roll:
The coverage in Europe is very different, they actually have cameras on, and talk about riders other than Mr. Armstrong. It's really quite unique.

Originally posted by sonickteam4:I respectfully disagree……England have not won the world cup for 39 years.(That will be recitified in 2006 though!!! :D ) By far it is the biggest TV draw everytime the tournament is on. When was the last time a Brit won Wimbledon? Although the brit press love to follow old Tim Henman choke in every tournament, but that's a whole other topic. My point is, for the vast majority of the sport watching world it's about the sport, not the home-grown team/athlete. The Irish language channel had 100% coverage of the tour and I don't think there was one Irish rider in it this year, and if there was I doubt they spoke the native tounge, although I'm sure some board google wizard will correct me if I'm wrong….

So, who do you think will fill Lance's saddle for the Discovery team? Basso seems to be the hottest rumour, although I would like Big George Hincapi personally, he's my favourite rider since Tyler Hamilton shamed himself.

It might as well be his ass, as much as they like to zoom in on them on OLN.
