Good Lord Damo. NBC has been doing a horrible job at it for a long, long time. They have a distinct gender bias in showing venues that are popular with women viewers, mainly the subjective "judged" sports, and when they aren't pounding sand up your ass with some lame human interest story or politics or trying to create controversies where none exist they actually get around to showing you a couple of minutes of a particular sport....on tape delay.
Oh yea. I'm a cycling enthusiast. Used to race pretty seriously back in the 90's.
Don't mind Damo. He's just jealous.Sorry Damo. I watch the taped stuff with my wife in the evenings when she gets home from work...like last night i worked hard at not telling her that our girls won the gold.
I have to say that I really enjoy babysitting, house keeping duties during the summer.
Oh any sport is more interesting if you participate in it. I enjoy cycling not only as a sport but as one of the best ways there is to get fit. There's no other form of exercise I can think of in which a person can put out the sustained amount of work (measured in watts) for the length of time that you can in cycling. It's fun too.That's very cool. My co-worker is into racing of all sorts: cycling, hydro, running, motor cross, dirt bike, etc. No NASCAR, though.
It's mostly boring for me to watch, but that's mostly because I have no interest in the sport. I can sit down and watch bowling, golf, and tennis, for example.
You must have missed the biathlon and the Skeet shooting contests.
Biathlon is....but that's a Winter Olympics sport.
"We had a dinner date at McDonald's," Berens joked Wednesday morning on "Today." "We put so much pressure on this meet. We sacrifice so much for the Olympic Games. We eat so healthily and we try to do everything right. It's our time to relax. That McDonald's in the dining hall was just calling our names."
It must have been shouting their names on the loudspeaker. When Berens got to the world's biggest McDonald's in the Olympic Village, he didn't mess around. He tweeted a photo of his post-Olympic conquest:
I could. I've been riding a lot lately. Actually all three of those sandwhiches wouldn't make one Thurman Burger.
That's one of the nice things about riding my bike. About once I month I can have a complete pig out and not feel bad about it.
and a lovely shape it is too.
