Ken, I have to apologize for Brian here. I see I've created a monster. he's obsessing on the boring snore thing almost as much as he's obsessing in LANCE. Maybe he's got a sleep disorder. Or perhaps a sleeping giant, or sleeping beauty. As far as friends goes, you might be wrong. He could be another friend of Bill's.

It'll take more than that to blunt the damning assay of rbr pundits. As a complete [censored], Lafferty chose a profession where this handicap is/was advantageous. Lafferty is baffled by the obvious yet possesses a complete understanding of the nonexistent. He shouldn't be trusted with anything more complicated than twist top bottles or female genitalia. To say he knows nothing is to give him credit for intelligence vastly beyond his demonstrated capacities. A lesser mentality wouldn't have the wattage to breath.

What?
You have just entered.... THE TWILIGHT ZONE.
Do you know how many pancakes you can fit into a doghouse?
Every time I heard of Lance Armstrong, it reminds me of drug, not cycling. Lance represents drug and drug addict both legal and illegal. His body was aid by physical enhancement drug. That's how he won the tourment over and over again. OF course, the drug was remained in his body for many years to come. He is not a god or superman. . He is just a regular human being who happen to be around with a team of scietists who know the best how to beat the system. American system is corrupt system up on the higher level while the down middle level among middle-class is made up of brainwashed people. Lance is superhero for many Americans. LIke HOllywood movie, they really believe superhero.
Red Cloud make much sense, maybe?

Lance is making more news as a cancer survivor and as Mr. Sheryl than he is as a cyclist nowadays. Really. Whenever he is in the news, it is about his upcoming marriage, his supposed drug use, and the way he beat cancer. I very rarely see anything about his training or anything related to his training or anything bicycle related. Its Sheryl, drugs, will he run for politics, why the French hate him, did he use drugs, did he get captured by aliens who gave him super human strength and all that other tabloid [censored].
Staying away from the two areas you mentioned will not stop people from hearing about Lance. He has moved far from just being in the sport of cycling. He has moved to a wider arena. The arena of Tabloid press. He is everywhere now, and more people know him than knew him years ago. And not because of cycling. This is fact Jack. People who have no interest at all in bikes, or the sport now know this man. He is everywhere!
Lance who?

I'd love to see Lance come back. I just don't see what point there is to coming back and racing to win another Tour de France. Come back and race to win Flanders and Amstel and Liege or maybe the Giro and/or Vuelta. I'd love to see him come back and mount a serious Classics campaign. But to come back and win another TdF?
Yawn.
can lance have better fashion than fabrizio mazzoleni, think not!

The prospect of a possible comeback overshadowed news of Armstrong's engagement to rock star Sheryl Crow. No wedding date has been set, although it is likely to be a spring ceremony.
I'm tired of hearing about Lance Armstrong and his engagement and now his decision to do another TdF to end the drug rumors. I don't think Lance is going to go quietly into any goodnight. He is happy in the spotlight if you ask me, and he intends to stay there. I wish he would just get married and get involved in some much needed causes to benefit the United States. Or run for political office or something. In the whole scheme of things, who the heck cares who he is marrying, why he is marrying her and what the French think about him. Why doesn't he just move on into a new phase of his life. Go out in a blaze of glory. Maggie
You and I know how to manage change, but guess what? Armstrong does not.
The fact that Armstrong is that one-in-a-million perfect confluence of athlete and sport is galling to the haters, who simply can't accept that they (or their national favorites) will never be as good as he is
Who's the hater, when it only take only one magazine article to turn Armstrong from someone who loves the country of the TdF into someone only willing to "[censored] the French". It can only show the hypocrite he is, the truth is there: he's only running the most famous race for his fame, and deep inside he's just a selfish hater.

He's said for years it was a "love-hate" relationship with the French, so where's the hypocrisy?
And we don't even know if Lance Armstrong is a real cancer survivor or not. But it does not matter since Armstrong made the ton of money from drug company. Probably that's what Armstrong was going after by fooling gullible americans.
I'm not sure thrive is a right word. Poisoning is a right world.
Ask what did Lance Armstrong done to public? Nothing. He only appeared in commerical magazine for drug companay by receiving ton of money while stupid people got poisoned with Lance's fame.

So why do you blame Lance for the actions of the tabloid press?

He was talking about the French media, not the French in general.

Errrrr, would you consider yourself a "selfish hater" if a particular country's media spent the better part of a decade making unsupportable claims about your drug use? Would you be a "selfish hater" if you thought pissing off that country's media would be fun?

Mickey - Armstrong is a small, seasonal aberration in our press. Maybe on this forum, there is more interest. The French are much more politically oriented, and the only relationship Armstrong has is that he brings tourists. So a footnote in the Economics sections.
