Is Armstrong about to admit

[theswordsman]

I went to RBR and saw that the first post exists, plus a second one about him sleeping with the fishes. I haven't been threatened for anything lately, so I put the quotes and details in twitlonger (for longer twitter messages), sent it to RBR, added a #procycling hash mark, and put in a few other cycling publications twitter accounts as a mention.

People wait cancer must live. People who tell the truth must die.

Nice work Wordy. Watch out Lance don't send the mob over to shut you down.

Good for you.

That is an Administrator over there that is part of that thread.

That seems pretty much like an endorsement of the comments.

yes, it's like this post from one of your own. hypocrites the lot of you.

Lance is, at the moment, practising his perp walk, and using alot of lube, because he has to pop his cherry, cos his innards are gonna be hanging out like he sat on an automatic swimming pool cleaner vacuum, from the reaming from a cell mate named bubba. Ouch. If you check the S&P 500 for lube stocks, you should have gone long a month ago, because Armstrong has been buying up big. Organic growth.

Right, because joking about a prison stereotype that no one in his right mind actually believes will happen (unless Bubba gets transferred from Super Max to Alderson Country Club), is the same as wishing a man will hang himself or be murdered and given a watery burial.

Go grab some perspective, of just enjoy the circle jerk lunacy of RBR.

Yea, some joke...so you condone cesspool posts here but not on RBR. Sorry, but there is no way you can spin the lunacy of blackcats post as a joke.

It seems to me that both CN & RBR forums have lost their perspective, wouldn't you say?

Get a grip Mac.

 

[Digger]

The response over and over that Landis has nothing to lose is only half true. The CN article about his whistle blow suit also has included numbers that you to do your own version of fuzzy math..30% of some part of 30.6 million. That is a number that is 30.6 billion more than Landis is worth as a human. Landis has nothing to loose but has his whole life to gain by playing out a role in the lie he has written and told for years. If Landis makes a penny from any court proceeding they should give Charles Manson back pay for all the books and TV movies made about him..just a start for letting scum profit from their crimes. Sorry Charlie I didn't mean to insult you with the Floyd comparison. He lied again when he said he just wanted to clear his conscience..yeah right.

Well you're contradicting yourself now - because his story has completely changed and is now being corroborated. How dare he tell the truth? What a nut case.

It's my understanding that Floyd cannot make one dime off this whistleblower business unless the federal government recovers money from fraud. No waste of taxpayer dollars here. If the feds don't think there is a fraud case that they can win, they don't get involved.

 

[thehog]

Stuff the doping. That's obvious. I want to hear the coke and hookers stories. Nothing would destroy fanboyism more than God hooking into the Colombian cut and pole driving a yellow rose whilst Kik is stuck with the kiddes.

Darn get Sheryl on the stand. We broke up because Lance took me to the 2005 Tour so he could hide his blood and coke in my guitar case.

I don't care if Floyd gets money or not. There some story telling to be done. To set the record straight.

I guess I missed these stories in the NYDAILYNEWS and the WSJ......?

A few new posers showed up, took the regular to serious task, let fly on Coolhand and ......... hey Presto! ....... the thread is gone.

Like it never existed.

My most recent handle there was lackluster.

I was banned this morning. What a jerk this Coolhand is.

 

[Cobblestoned]

Can someone please tell me what "RBR" is ?

I think I need a dictionary for all these 3-letter-abbreviations right now.

For any of you watching this over on RBR, it is getting quite entertaining now.

I think Coolhand p'd off the wrong person this time.

Typical Coolhand. Posters ask legit questions of why the forum allows such disgusting posts and he deletes them and blame "Returning Trolls"....Of course anyone that questions Armstrong, Supports LeMond or does not hope that Floyd dies must be a troll

Coolhand: Fat, Bitter, masters racer with a wicked mancrush on Armstrong

His byline refers to him as "flinty-eyed". Is that the same as weaselly? Don't know him so he may just have grey eyes.

I have travelled the globe and come across many charismatic leaders of one type or another, and subsequently, come across many, many followers of said leaders and they share many of the same qualities exhibited by this "Coolhand" character.

Cultist: a member of an unorthodox cult who generally lives outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader.


By unorthodox, I suppose one could equate that with one could insert "win at all cost, be it compromising ones' ethical principals or standards of the forum in which one is part of (cycling).

Sadly, they are as embedded as their so-called leader and will not retreat or submit, as in doing so, they would be compromising their own identity and base of being, creating a world where they are lost and ungrounded.

No sense worrying, he and his Specialized Carbon collection's (c'mon, can't do better than "off-the-shelf" carbon? How vanilla...) fate is sealed.

Where can I find the forum rules or those that have been breached especially? Then I can know the behaviors to avoid.

Thanks,


found it, very entertaining.

BTW, you guys do have class over here as opposed to the "other" places.

thanks.

Apologies if I'm one that broke the rules, but twitter is a powerful communication tool and some good apparently came of it

To aim things back towards a topic, what I read about the whistle blower thing said it provides protection for the person filing the claim from wealthy, powerful, organizations or individuals (paraphrased from memory). My question is, does this mean that all the people named in the lawsuit and their representatives have to stop trash-talking about Landis in the press. Would they have been informed of that when they were served papers? I don't know if it's the case, but it could affect future threads.

At the time when LeMond's legal representation was appointed to Floyd there was a reference that Armstrong and co. had eluded to Floyd having a drink problem. These references duly stopped thereafter. Methinks you're right. Once papers were served the players shut up shop and let the lawyers do the talking. I suspect Armstrong's papers were delivered last to let him hang himself via his own comments during the Tour. Which of course he did.

If Bonnie Ford has it right, they were all served last week. Link in the sticky thread

Defendants including Armstrong, team manager Johan Bruyneel, longtime agent Bill Stapleton, financier Thomas W. Weisel and numerous owner-investors in the various companies that operated the team were notified of their status last week.

The lawyer and spokesman have pretty much only been attacking Landis, and the fact that the FDA investigation exists, plus the USADA. I wonder if they'll take up the slack by going after people like Betsy who talk to the press after Novitsky, or vaguely attacking anonymous leaks?

If nothing else, shutting them up about Landis would be a huge blow to their public relations. I wonder if that would mean more or fewer of the penny a word folks here?
