I just watched a segment on the PBS News Hour and the TDF.
Great I thought, until the sports commentator, Ron Rapoport,
refers to Floyd as Floyd Norris. I just wanted to cry.
Here we have national exposure to a well educated audience
and they get his name wrong. Three times.
I had to laugh after cringing because he said something along the lines of
"A week ago most people outside cycling didn't know his name and
now Floyd Norris is known well beyond cycling".

Oh well.

What do you think you get when you cross Floyd Landis and Chuck Norris? You get an butt kicking Mennonite named Floyd Norris. HeeYaa!

The chief export of Floyd Landis is pain.
Floyd Landis does not sleep. He waits.
Floyd Landis doesn't have hair on his testicles, because hair does not grow on steel.
Floyd Landis doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.

Ron Rapoport's segments on NPR usually have me searching the dial for something else, so I guess this is no surprise.

That dude's gotta be doping. No way he won that thing clean.

I was so pissed off that I sat down immediately and sent an e-mail to the PBS web site for the News Hour. Hopefully they will apologize tonight.
