    Official Lance Armstrong Thread: Part 3 (Post-Confession)

    He just couldn't wait for that cozy 48 square foot apartment the government has prepared for him.

    Armstrong Under Criminal Investigation

    Just my opinion, and sorry to go so OT ... the NFL understands its mission, its business, and its market, and its actions are consistent with that understanding. It protects its brand and the interests of its stakeholders. It provides a product of high quality that perennially satisfies its...

    Armstrong Under Criminal Investigation

    The NFL would eat Armstrong for breakfast. The owners would sacrifice him in a heartbeat if he threatened the brand.

    Armstrong Under Criminal Investigation

    Exactly. Except that the NFL manages its image effectively. As far as I know there is no widespread public interest in doping in the NFL as gauged by the number of new stories being produced on the topic. What is making headlines and taking up copious print space is the controversy over...

    Armstrong Under Criminal Investigation

    To quote one of my favorite movie lines, "I do not think that word means what you think it means." "Scandal" denotes public outrage and attention. While I agree with your suspicion that there is widespread use of PEDs in the NFL, the public consternation simply isn't there. I believe this...

    Terry vs. Lance

    How about your mom, your brother-in-law, your co-worker or any of the other thousands and thousands of ordinary people who faced the horror and stigma of a cancer diagnosis and went on living their lives the best they could; quietly caring for their families, being a friend, and going to work...

    Most memorable doped perfomances?

    It was just revealed that Beyonce lip-synced the national anthem at the presidential inauguration yesterday. Does this qualify? I'm devastated.

    Will Armstrong save cycling?

    Really, we just require the appearance of legitimacy, nothing more. Cycling has failed to provide even that much.

    Will Armstrong save cycling?

    When wasn't it show business? The Tour was started by a newspaper as a self-promoting publicity stunt. When you put on an event and people pay to watch or to advertise, it's called entertainment, and those who are paid to participate in the event are called entertainers. Pro cycling is...

    Where does Armstrong spill his guts?

    It is the act of an ultimate loser. Coward, more precisely. Which is exactly why he will off himself if someone doesn't beat him to it.
