Boy, this Taylor Phinney dude is irritating

[Mr. Pink]

Wow, looks like I pushed some buttons. I guess my button was pushed. I figured it out today. It's that stoner hipster thing he's doing. I ski a lot, and I ski a lot in Colorado. As soon as I hear that come out of a young, bearded face, I run the other way. It's pretty visceral. I can't stand it. It's the male equivilant of valley girl speak from the nineties. It just screams, I'm vacuous, and proud of it. I practice this every day! It's just so white and empty. Eh.

Now, Sagan, that's a whole other thing. I like him. He's just weird. And, he wins, so, there's that. Personally, I think an athlete has no right to market him or herself as cool or witty or a unique personality unless they have something to back it up. Certain female tennis players excluded. Anyway, that voice! How bizarre. I've been around Eastern European accents all my life (north jersey, my older relatives from Poland) but his is just something. Seriously, he would make an awesome Renfield to a Dracula in a modern production of that story, film or stage.
