Phil on Kirsten Gumm
Phil Liggett, telling us what we already suspected:
"Kirsten Gumm, who presents our preview show, had never seen a cycle race before. She loves the Tour and has a great feel for it already with her enthusiasm. It is so hard to come in cold, but I hope you think as I do." From tdf.olntv.com John Henderson, New York City, USA =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "Let's roll!" -- Todd Beamer, 9/11/01 "After five and weekends" -- 711th SOS =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

Not as good as Odessa who also knows racing, having been a pro (still is?).

... why do you give a ****? she is good to look at, and she does not do "play by play" so why does it matter? what gives with all of the irritation? Just imagine if whoever covers the NFL FootBall 'Super Bowl' decided to have the usual commentators, plus bring in someone like, Martha Stewart or Barbara Walters? "Tell me Pat, wouldn't their kit look better if the shoulder pads coordinated with their shoes better?" or, how about: "Wouldn't the ball be a little easier to throw if were round, and .... smaller?" Too often, in American broadcasting, it seems they think it's OK to bring in some neophyte to cover the event. If it isn't a big three sport, they lump the sport (whatever it happens to be) as one of those 'other' sports.. "Hey Mac, who's gonna cover that TOOR dee france bike race?" "How 'bout Charleeh? He's got one of thems mountain bikes, I dink.." |

"Tell me Pat, wouldn't their kit look better if the shoulder pads coordinated with their shoes better?" or, how about: "Wouldn't the ball be a little easier to throw if were round, and .... smaller?" Get real: Al Michaels: It's beautiful day here at Mile High, It's been snowing all day and the crowd's really boistrous. JOhn Maddon: That's what makes real football. It's cold, icy, the ball's gonna slide around, the big guys too. I sure love it when they get good'n muddy and they're just grabbing anything 'cause they can't see. On a day like this, round about the 3rd quarter when those guys hit you, BOOM! THAT'S gotta hurt! Al: Martha? Martha: On Cold days like this, there's nothing better than hot buttered rum made with your own home churned butter. I noticed on John's bus that the engine was vibrating, so I placed the churner on the engine block and 500 miles later, voila! You can try this next time you catch the M4 on 110th St. John, I've got a little secret remedy for that left rear engine mount... John: Ooh, now THAT'S an All MAddon idea! Did you use any Ace Hardware tools? Martha: Actually, I made them all myself. My lawyer's been telling me I need to sharpen those skills. But here's something for you, Al. Al: MArtha, that's the most incredibly perfect football I've even seen... Martha: I know, while driving out here, I passed a slaughterhouse and saw they were wasting the skins. Using my homemade gardening shears and my portable mending set (never travel without one), I made it and you can buy one just like it at BigK. JOhn: Hey! How'd the score get to be 17 to 16??!!! MArtha: I've got a real good investment tip... Too often, in American broadcasting, it seems they think it's OK to bring in some neophyte to cover the event. If it isn't a big three sport, they lump the sport (whatever it happens to be) as one of those 'other' sports.. "Hey Mac, who's gonna cover that TOOR dee france bike race?" "How 'bout Charleeh? He's got one of thems mountain bikes, I dink.." Martha: Phil, when leading out a good sprint, there's that wonderful rush you get knowing that your home welding skills were the first step, long before you begin that pedal stroke. Phil: Ah Martha, you've been breathing down the seat of Petacchi's pants again. |

It's only the biggest bicycle race in the world and I don't know of any reputable television network that would put a neophyte like that on camera when its reputation is on the line. Flemish national tv station Canvas had ms. Phaedra Hoste doing in-depth interviews with the riders. Those were the days. *sigh* BTA, she wasn't a total neophyte because she bonked Roger de Vlaeminck from age 16 to 21. |

And here in the US we wonder why the bike mags want pictures of Odessa rather than of Levi. Bob Schwartz |
