After all the apologies, after the concessions, after the praise I laid on Marcel Kittel after his previous stage victory... I still didn't give him a chance in Paris. So what did he do? Won the thing, clearly out in front of Mark Cavendish and Andre Greipel. Sagan was nowhere to be seen. So, in the words of my lovely wife, "Poor Cav, all he got was 2 stage wins and some piss in the face".
Cav You Believe It?
Mark Up Another Win
'Dish Network
Greip for the Taking
Count Andre (it's a stretch)
Going, Going, Sa-gone
Dumb Stuff
Just had to comment on 2 things I've seen on SportCenter this week. 1) Of course I don't want to make light of a homicide, but scrolling the quote from Patriots head man Bill Belichick in regards to the Hernandez case saying "This doesn't represent the ideals of the Patriots organization" is just... I mean, really? That was an important quote to keep showing? Did anyone really think... oh nevermind. 2) Johnny Manziel's father saying he drinks to handle the stress. If so, surely let's take it seriously, but also consider the fact he drinks because he's a college student. It happens... I've heard.
Ok, that's all on that, I feel better. Now last, but most importantly...
Taylor Phinney!
The Boulderite got his first stage win (non-TT) at the Tour de Pologne today. With 7km to go, he attacked, and never building more than a 15 second lead help on for victory. Yay Colorado! Yay Boulder! Yay Taylor!

Parting Thoughts: And if you close your eyes, it almost feels like nothing's changed at all (go find Bastille Pompeii and give it a listen!)
