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!

[Norse]

Yep, just as it was getting to the good part yesterday my DVR recording was done. We reset it for the 10 pm recap and I stayed up late to watch the end. I also reset all the upcoming recordings to go 1 hour over. Harumph!

[NoNo]

I was furious that they cut off the end of yesterday's stage for the hockey game. Sorry, I don't have home internet, so broadcasting it there doesn't help me. Everything was lining up, they were a few miles from town, things were about to happen. Then - sorry, we have to cut it off to put on a meaningless late-season game with two teams with no playoff hopes. No other sports network does that. The beginning of games are always held off until whatever was on finishes. I thought it was very disrespectful, as if it doesn't count as a "real" sport so just shove it aside. Bad move, VS.
