Saab commercial makes me CRAZY.
I personally hated the riding backwards commercial. This is going to be hard to explain in one sentence, so I probably shouldn't try, but I thought it was disrespectful of the riders shown -- it not only trivialized their effort (which was pretty impressive even if they were doping) but also suggested they were somehow an anomaly -- and I just don't buy that "a few bad apples" theory in regards to doping in cycling (at least in the past). Ever notice how uncomfortable the old guys get when doping comes up? Bobke suddenly gets really vague...
I am also coming to really like Bob Roll. I hated him last year -- thought he was just a big meathead. Now, next to Craig Hummer (who reminds me of one of the vapid new guard of TV news anchors like Brian Williams or Stone Phillips, who drive me crazy), I really appreciate Roll's experience and perspective.
I would rather have Al Trautwig than Craig Hummer, I think.
Continue to love Phil & Paul.
