Since we were talking about in the locker room after our Epic Sunday II ride this morning, here is a very cool promo piece for the Versus TV network. It is cool for the following:
1) Outstanding "Vonnegutesque" opening commentary.
2) The killer Explosions in the Sky track.
3) Nice (effective) scene selection.
4) Overall editing and execution.
It is NOT cool for the following:
1) Hunting is not a sport making commentary irrelevant at best, hypocritical at worst.
2) Ditto Rodeo.
3) Ditto Stock Car, NASCAR, funny cars or any other cars.
If you are going to call out the little guy and cajole him into competing on the same field with a bigger, faster, stronger, smarter opponent, please ensure that said opponent is not an animal or be operating a high performance internal combustion vehicle. Kinda strays from the theme a little, don't ya think?

In 2007 RacerMate Inc of Seattle, Wa. hired me to produce their new software line of products to be called, TA DA, Real Course Videos. So almost overnight I became (cue the theme music) RCVman. This is the story of my work on the road, filming triathlons and searching for true love. Some things never change.

Maybe she is talking about getting out of Bergin. I do watch poker now and again though. Sport has met entertainment, unfortunately. If I was young again I'd try to perfect something on the half-pipe and work the media. Retire (to work) in Aspen. I may try this anyway.
Game on, ej. Never too late (until it is).
