Not only is he all over every cycling publication, but now he is hitting the mainstream mags. Yesterday when we left the gym I spied an Esquire magazine on a table in the waiting area and can you guess who was on the cover? My Men’s Journal came in the mail today, guess who is on the cover? To add icing to the cake he even has a cool rockstar girlfriend. Oh yeah, OLN is back up on cable tonight, so I watched a couple of interviews with him and a few minutes of him riding today, some footage of him leading the team yesterday and a couple more interviews of people who knew him or coached him or cleaned his pool. Plus, there are all those contests running….enough already! He is going to suffer from the Hootie Syndrome* soon.
*Hootie Syndrome: Become so poular that it is hip to hate you. Named after Hootie & The Blowfish that early 90’s music sensation that had like 5 of their songs in the top 10 at one time.
Never heard of “hootie syndrome” but I think I hated them from the start and then hid under a rock where they were concerned.
