after what seemed an eternity of mixed martial arts "combat" and beef jerky advertising, smiling bob and his army of minions--each sporting full on wood--have returned (along with the Tour of California).

it's great that versus is airing the coverage every night, but why can't they show it before 11PM?  how the hell can an old f'r like me be expected to stay up that late?  it's not as if the chicks from rock racing will be serving jello shooters to cipo off their nakit bodies while draped across michael ball's bentley.  what gives, versus?  do you only have one editor capable of putting an hour of coverage together between stage finish and airtime?

speaking of cipo, i wonder if he can hang past yesterday's performance.  he rode respectably, but he doesn't look right.... he's lost a good amount of muscle and it makes one wonder if he starved himself to drop weight.
