Yes, folks, the world's 2nd greatest sporting event, the Tour de France, kicks off tomorrow, July 1, with a 13.2 kilometer (8.3 mile) time trial.

of course, we all know and agree that the World Cup is the #1 sporting event in the world, that kicks off the day following Thanksgiving, later this year!

Enjoy!!!

And why, one might ask, does the WC kick off in late November rather than spring? Because it's being held in freaking Qatar, where it's 107 in the summer, but will only get up into the 80s by November.

OK
I'm already getting annoyed thinking about hearing "Cutter" a million times. That just seems like the wrong pronunciation, regardless of how many times they tell me that's how it's said.

I actually think that's the thing....if i would ever hear someone actually from Qatar say that it's pronounced "cutter", i think i'd be ok with it....so far i've just heard a bunch of media talking heads say that.
