RANT: "colorado connection"
Colorado Springs Gazette today
http://www.gazette.com/ "Out of Armstrong's shadow ATHENS, Greece - Tyler Hamilton now has a title his country will know. Hamilton, the former University of Colorado skier, led a parade of three Colorado cyclists to the Olympic medal stand Wednesday, capturing the gold medal in the 29.8-mile time trial. " It never ceases to amaze me, to what extent the local press will go to, in order to establish the "colorado connection" with any athlete who wins a medal, or for that fact, any news story in general. |

I could care less where Tyler comes from but doesn't the fact that he
owns a home here in Boulder establish sufficient "Colorado connection" for you?

It never ceases to amaze me, to what extent the local
press will go to, in order to establish the "colorado connection" with any athlete who wins a medal, or for that fact, any news story in general. The Altoona Mirror headline noted that he was a former Tour de Toona rider (once, over ten years ago). Gotta hit that local angle. M Man |

You missed the cutline under the photo of Tyler on the front page of the print edition: "TYLER HAMILTON: Ex-teammate of six-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong." Poor sod ... wins Olympic gold and he's still a bridesmaid as far as the straight media are concerned. He could win the Tour seven times and U.S. sports desks would still hang that former-Armstrong-teammate tag on him.
