Noooo! Rain sucks gimme my AToC!!!!

[NoNo]

Oh great, more rain today. So far the video is going, let's hope it stays that way. I don't want to listen to another awful Bob Roll interview. Also, can they PLEASE stop playing that horrid song when replaying shots from the race! That screeching guitar-type thing just cuts right through me, and once I notice it, it's all I can hear.

I am going to stay out of the thread soon, I have the DVR going but the funniest thing was yesterday... Hummer babbling something about being happy to be warm in the booth (which he said 5 minutes earlier) and Phil and Paul staring at him blankly. It was really awkward! I am not sure if they didn't hear him or were annoyed that he was repeating himself, but if there were crickets you would have heard them.

They heard him. I think he misread the teleprompter.

I'm okay with Craig. He is light years better than Al Trautwig.

Hands down better than Trautwig who annoyed me pretending to know gymnastics and every other sport at the Olympics! Although as an aside Trautwig trying to commentate on the trampoline gymnastics was pee in your pants funny.

But I pretty much thought Hummer was usually when he showed up unable to pronounce my favorite Hincapie's name last year. By the end of the tour I think someone set him straight it was really bad! He is alright, just needs to be heard much less and I am happy. I listen for Phil and Paul!

I don't know why VS feels the need to put an American voice, and usually an ignorant one at that, with Phil and Paul. Phil and Paul are all we need.

I would like to know what they were smoking when they decided to start yesterday's coverage at 9:00 PST, so early in the stage that the riders were still in the neutral zone, and expected the stage to be finished three hours later. I set the DVR to record a 1/2 hour past the scheduled end time and I still missed the entire last climb and the finish, AKA the important part of the race.

I now have the DVR set to go a full hour over the scheduled times. And I would like to thank the developers who programmed the DVR software, because all I had to do was change the stop time for today, and it automatically reset the recording time for every other stage. Very impressive technology which will make my life so much easier when it comes time to record Phil and Paul's live coverage of the TdF.

We set the live to go over but I told DH at about as they were about to hit the last climb, this is going to go over big time! Luckily when we set it to get the 10:00 (cst) recap and got the finish. Today he set it way over.

And yes, the Golden Gate being closed was impressive but really you could have recaped that VS!
