Don't you love it when people say, "I don't give a flip."? I do. I actually caught myself saying that this morning when reading the paper. Except for instead of "flip" I said "fuck". I was referring to Floyd Landis and Greg LeMond. They're back in the news. Thankfully! Yeah, I've been on pins and needles ever since Floyd tested positive for being a cyclist. Seriously, who cares anymore? And who really cared in the first place? Maybe the French, but that's because they only have soccer to cheer about. In the US, pro cycling is about as high up on our sport list as volleyball. And volleyball only makes the list because women wear bikinis while they bump, set and spike. We have more important things to worry about. Like Brett Favre's daughter's graduation party. ESPN continues to hit record lows everyday with their coverage of both of those stories. Thank God for PTI. If not for that, ESPN would replace MTV as the channel that has strayed farthest from its brand. I'm sick that I know the name 'Floyd Landis', and I don't give a flip about who's in charge of the 3-layer dip at the Favre party.

You know who else doesn't give a flip? The folks over at The City Paper. I'm trying to be their new Weekly Geekly writer, but I haven't received a response. Three emails and counting. If you'd like to see me as the new Weekly Geekly columnist, drop them a note here: patrick@charlestoncitypaper.com
