As RBR's only resident winner of both the US Open and the TdF I can
unequivocally state that golf is not a sport.

Works for me. Also, Tiger is hoping to come back from an incident that
hurt his knee.

Eddy came back from an accident that KILLED HIS PACER!

So yeah, Eddy.

Yes, we know his pacer was mortally wounded but how badly was Eddy
injured in that accident?

AMC killed the Pacer, though I understand it was never very safe in
accidents.

Merckx lost his bid for a 6th Tour to Bernard
Thévenet, who rode a new doping route to victory.
Once this was discovered the sport was crushed
into oblivion as sponsors fled in droves. The
sport never recovered.

Having a Tour winner revealed as a drug cheat
was the death blow. Only people in deep denial
about the impact of doping on team sponsorship
fail to realize that.

See? Creating your own reality is easy!

Rumsfeld and Cheney must have created that one while they were riding
their tandem.

Gee, Dad, of course I wasn't rump rangering Bobby! We were riding
tandem.

I was going to ask who was the captain and who was the stoker but your post begs
the question: who was the pitcher and who was the catcher?

I once worked with a guy who bought four Gremlins in the space of two years.
Within a week of the purchase, he'd have broken the shock mounts off the rear axle. I
never figured that one out.

The Gremlin was so bad it made both the Pinto and the Vega look good.

If he succeeds, he will have proven himself tougher than Nancy Kerrigan.
Give the man some credit.
