Wow, I read this at 11:10, figure I missed it, turn on the TV to see some scientist guy with Jay
just as they are going to commercial and Jay says that he'd be right back with Lance Armstrong.

tactics. I didn't expect that. I did expect him to ask Lance if all cyclists are gay because of the
shaved legs and lycra. Oh yea, Lance "looks like a regular guy" - too funny.

It's not like most popular team sports, since those all tend to emphasize gigantism and loads
of musculature, while cyclists carry it all in their legs, have relatively normal-looking arms,
and are normal height or less in most cases. So Lance comes out and he's this not-very-tall guy
who is pretty light, too. And if you can't see his legs and lungs, there's really no way to
tell off the bike.--

escaped from Auschwitz (with tape on his shoulder).--

Anyone notice how ill-at-ease Lance seems when he sits? I taped his appearance on Letterman a year
(or was it two?) ago when Dave did a "Lance has a new book out, 'Man my ass is sore'" gag and
Lance seemed to have problem sitting on Dave's couch, too. Maybe they need to bring on a bike and
have Lance sit on the saddle.I do hope they reprise their, "5-time Tour de France champion, Lance Armstrong!" ride-in. The
doughboy they had doing it earlier this summer was actually a talented bike handler, based on the
ease with which he maneuvered his road bike through the theater.--

I thought the pants hid the legs pretty well; that's why they're cut that way. But as
morphological oddities go, Lance has nothing on bodybuilders, offensive linemen, basketball
players, or Terrell Owens--

Cue Sundquist with a link. Btw, the legs of the likes of Armstrong are not huge! I once rode on
training with Boogerd and one thing that amazed me was how tiny his legs were. For bigger thighs
look at sprinters, especially track of course. -

lack of fat and the high definition of muscle. That would never should through clothes and even in
shorts, it is really nothing remarkable.Size matters in some things but not that.

uninterested, and doesn't really listen. What a waste of a time slot.Kurt

He was a funny dork when he was a stand-up comic. It all went wrong when he got to fill in for Johny
Carson and the audience...liked it? Oh well. TV for all tastes. -

I know. Which is why he should interview in his USPS kit, with Yellow TdF jersey of course. Then
Leno would know too.
