I hate the Tour de Farce!

Rebbasser · 07-24-10, 10:09 AM

Messes up all my Saturday morning fishjng shows! It is a bunch of guys riding bikes-who cares? I've been able to ride a bike for 40+ years. Big deal.

Jrob78 · 07-24-10, 10:15 AM

I'm with you Reb. It seems like this crap has been going on for months.

HarveysMinnow · 07-24-10, 10:28 AM

Me too, guys. That bike race ranks right up there with watching paint dry, grass grow, and that world cup soccer garbage that was on a while back. I guess stuff like that is for people who never learned how to fish.

I hear ya! Figgin sucks!!!

A lot of people I know like that crap, I don't understand why. I think it's all a bunch of crap since you know they are all doped up. Since it doesn't affect me I don't care though. The ones I don't like are the guys out for a joy ride who look like they are on the Tour de New York (insert your state here). I haven't seen any of them in MS, but they were bad in upstate NY. If they followed the rules of the road it wouldn't be too bad but these guys act like they own it. If you can't go the speed limit stay out of the middle of the road! There was even one of those guys in his spandex shorts taking a leak right along the road near my old house, the wife saw that. There were 6,000,000 acres of park and this jerk has to pee right near town. It just shows the typical attitude of the cyclist.

Here you go:

Abbeysdad · 07-24-10, 02:56 PM

Why Bender....you didn't have the boat hooked up that day???

I agree...watchin boys bike riding is about as exciting as whispering golf announcers.

bassinbob · 07-24-10, 03:04 PM

I can't believe they have enough of an audience to watch that crap. Maybe it's because so many people are out fishing and not watching tv. But this hot weather is a killer this year.

Krtismo · 07-24-10, 03:07 PM

I miss the fishing shows too

Damn, Bender... you just made me spit my soda all over myself.

I haven't LOL'd like that in a while.

The Walter Mitty section of my brain pictures things like that all day long.

Jrob78 · 07-24-10, 03:42 PM

I can even understand the commieball coverage to some degree. Soccer is the biggest sport in the world, and the World Cup only comes once every 4 years. The majority of America doesn't care but the rest of the world does, I get that. But wall to wall cycling coverage??

dodgeguy · 07-24-10, 04:33 PM

i love the tour.i used to race bikes when i was a kid.it's a great sport.

Cavs1123 · 07-24-10, 06:07 PM

I hate that so much! It goes like 12 hrs straight too!

Ebbetsguy · 07-24-10, 06:17 PM

Watching bike racing is as much fun as watching someone else fishing, I dont get either. I fish for my own fun, what do you get out of these fishing Tournaments, I just do not get it.

Watching them I don't know. But then I can't sit there and watch any sport without getting bored out of my mind.

But fishing them.....
The satisfaction that you out fished/out lucked some of the best that day, and depending on the tournament, any where from a few bucks to several thousand dollars if you play your cards right. Really play your cards right and get much more $$$ and free gear from sponsors.
