Re:

Hamilton looks terrible. Not just the hair, but his face. He looks like he's having a seriously difficult time adjusting to his life.

Where did this come from?

Just thowing out there, or is there a context?

edit: Forget it.. I guess you mean the video upthread...
Saw it when posted and already forgot about it since it's been some days...

He does look a bit hammered but I think he'll be okay..
He did the right thing allthough a bit late....

That was very poorly lit filming, so it wasn't going to flatter anyone. He looked like a guy that just got off a long flight to me, and the dude is getting old!!!

Tyler met Lance last week at the deposition.

There is a rumor going that the under card fight to the Pacquiao/Mayweather clash will be the long anticipated and controversial grudge match clash between Floyd Landis and Lance Armstrong.

Or Lemond and Armstrong

Or Lemond and Boyer

Floyd would wipe the floor up with him.

No doubt you could probably square up a circle for this news.

Could be dangerous on a bike for him

Re:

I would not think it would be like that. Unless we are to believe that the French are aggressive protesters? Anyhow this should provide some fun for the folks. it would be a square circle jerk...

The French can be vehemently aggressive protestors, but perhaps not as aggressive as Bernard Hinault.

Merckx, circa 1975, might beg to differ...

Yikes! The comments!!

If you sort by "most replied" it's pretty depressing, again.

Would be more accurate to state that 'you are depressed' by comments that are not congruent with your feelings on the matter. Good rhetorical device, nonetheless.

Thank Dog for Lance Armstrong. The clinic would be a much less entertaining place without him.

Scott Mercier update:
http://www.crankpunk.com/blogs/crankpunk/item/830-scott-mercier-merrill-lynch-and-the-lance-effect.html

“I did get pressure from Merrill Lynch - which I will not discuss - but it was over firm compliance policies. They categorically did not ask me to "go easy on Lance.” They do not allow advisors to speak to [the] national media.”

This is actually reasonable. The only people heavily regulated in that industry are way, way down the ladder like a Mercier. The industry has a bunch of rules about individual information that, of course, the only people worrying about the rules are the frontline sales people like a Mercier.

But, one of Mercier's longtime customers had a discussion about Armstrong with Mercier....

“The first thing out of Scott's mouth that day with us was that Merrill Lynch was putting pressure on him to be silent about his non-drug stance against Lance. He was annoyed and disgusted. He said Armstrong had some small investments with Merrill Lynch and he felt that Armstrong must of be putting pressure on Merrill Lynch to keep him quiet.

Surprising no one.

Now that is the first thing that makes any sense (about Mercier's comments).

Re:

Why? She's been with him for years and can provide a lot of information that no one else can..

 

[veganrob]

She is only his wife when trying to get Lance off the drunk driving charges. lol

We're the Armstrongs. Lance is my husband. We were going around the corner too fast...
...or something.

We have teenage children.

(Anna learnt fast how to play the children card)

Dave, have you ever driven fast on icy roads around corners? oh, you are a canuck.

ok, so you unnerstan Armstrong's predicament on if he should use tubular or clincher Continental? Prance gonna run with the clinchers now.
