It's been high times here at the Fairy Princess Castle, what with the 1-2-3-4 punch of Euro 2008, Wimbledon, the Olympic Trials (helloooooo swimmers!), and the Tour de France. As one of my co-workers asked, "Do you do anything but watch sports?" Ummm, not much. Thank goodness it's not football season, or I'd be a goner ( Read more... )

Ah yes, "38-year-old Erik Zabel." I will add that! I haven't seen much chuckling over McEwen over here, but I will keep an ear out.

I think our coverage is similar to you because our main commentators are British (good ol' Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwin), much to Steven's happiness. They're trying SO HARD to cheer for American riders when all they want to do is mention their own boys. Hee.

Heh...but see, that one is overly complicated. I like my drinking games fairly simple. Less to get in the way, you know.

It did remind me that I need to add something about "King of the Mountains." Hmmm...
