I'm Watching The Tour De France

So I'm watching the Tour de France tonite.

The current camera is from straight above the road from a helicpoter. A large group of riders is coming up on an intersection when all of a sudden 2 cars drive out into the middle of the intersection and stop.

My heart skips a beat cause the riders and gonna smack into these cars. Only a fraction of a second later do I realize the cars are on a bridge above the road the race is taking place on. whew.

Earlier one of the riders hit a dog on the road. Who goes to watch the Tour de France and doesn't put their dog on a leash?

Le Tour De France Fans

I've been watching the Tour De France the past few days. I think today is day 8 or 9. The fans that line the route are crazy. Sometimes you'll see someone wearing giant antlers and carrying a giant flag run along side the riders for a few meters. It looks like people are camped out along the road just to see the riders go by. They are standing on cars, standing on the edge of a very steep, very long drop off on the side of the road.

I was just wondering what the fans would be like if this were the Tour de USA. I'm sure some retard would run out and knock over some of the riders. Someone would probably bring a spike strip.

Exciting Summer Of Metric Football

I hope some of you have had the chance to watch some of the great soccer that has been going on this summer. I've enjoyed it, some more than others.



The Gold Cup was amazing. The United States won the Gold Cup which is basically the championship of North and Central America. A lot of the Gold Cup games were shown on Fox Soccer Channel here.



Copa America was not nice to the US, but other teams have shown some great play.
I'm watching Argentina vs. Mexico in the 2nd semi-finals as I type. The game is probably over by now, my DVR recorded this one for me.



The DVR was getting this game because I was watching USA vs. Uruguay in the round of 16 in the U-20 world cup. The US came from behind to tie the game 1-1 just minutes before regulation time. Michael Bradley scored the game winner at the start of the 2nd half of extra time. US advances to the quarter-finals!



It has been a much better summer than we had last year.

This Should Put A Smile On Your Pretty Face

Totti reflects on 'saddest night of sporting career'

Just the headline alone does it for me. I haven't even read the article yet. Maybe I should bookmark that one and save it for a rainy day.
