Remember the Saab "Born from Jets" commercial that they played incessantly during the Tour a few years ago? Whenever the Izod commercial comes on, I just remind myself that it could be worse. We can only hope that Izod will go the way of Saab...

The absence of commercials with Tour All Access is great but it seems like access keeps getting worse and it wasn't exactly perfect to start. I think I'll be watching with commercials tonight if I want to see today's stage at all. Frustrating!

Versus All-Access - boo hiss!
I was able to watch about 1/2 hour on line today, then the whole thing died - kept getting Versus error messages. Sheesh - they are charging $ for this, owned by a huge conglomerate. You'd think they could provide a half decent internet experience. Seems like they do not have nearly the capacity to serve their paying customers.

Every year, there is one "special" commercial that is played to death. Originally Posted by Bike Chick

Maybe the Versus advertising team needs to shake the bushes for more diversity in their advertisers.
I don't watch during the day. I deal with Versus in the evening. DH and I are usually asleep on the couch anyway - and only if we're lucky (or if the cats are particularly frisky and jump on our heads) do we wake up for the final 5k.
