Train Tunnel Mystery

Political Reporting: SportsCenter Style
I’m digging this new show from the makers of “Defenders of Stan”. It’s basically an over the top SportsCenter version of political reporting.
Money quote on fund raising: “Compared to the Donkeys, the Elephants are working for peanuts.”
Thanks for Rachelle for passing this along.
Awesome Way to Watch Bike Racing
Jeff Veen has a great post on how cycling coverage may change over time. Check out this shot:
