    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.

    Or was it an ice cream making guy? Anyway, it was refreshing to hear Jay ask Lance about team
    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.

    Well, he does in civvies. Because the pants hide his legs.

    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.

    There was a picture of Tyler during the TdF with his shirt off. Scary: he looked like he just
    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.

    It was easy to tell that he was sporting some pretty huge legs under those baggy jeans.

    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.

    This is true. Most roadies do not have extraordinary sized legs. They tend to be impressive in the
    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.

    Could Leno suck any more at interviewing people. He has no rhythm, asks stupid questions, appears
    uninterested, and doesn't really listen. What a waste of a time slot.

    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'd love to see Lance on the Daily Show with John Stewart. Or Mike Jones on the Daily Show.

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