"someone start a fund and I am all over that...that's a fund I can believe in..."

You could call it the "Floyd Fairness Fund"..........That's a catchy name.

 

[Polish]

I mean not any harm at all, but I would actually like to meet you.

Yikes, you are not a sockpuppet of SWMNBN are you?
I'm scared now.

Some of the complete mindless insanity seems to be the work that not one man could be capable of. Is it just one guy? Or like 3 or 4 out of work comedy writers just having a huge tongue in cheek go with the lot of us? That would be just truly spectacular.
.

Actually, we are 17 interns in a conference room over at Public Statagies using the same computer.
A "reverse sockpuppet" if you will. Drives Barrus crazy lol.

BTW, How many Pollocks does it take to logon as "Polish"?
17 hahahaha. Get it? That never gets old for us over here lol agian.

 

[skippythepinhead]

+1. Guy is t rolling here for LA.

s w a n k y doesn't make it through the filter, wtf!

Does character assassination?

 

[VeloGirl]

OH joy! I am so glad the FBI might be using valuable resources/time/money to investigate this alleged "witness tampering" incident.

For the love of GOD, stop the insanity.


Anyway, side note. What exactly motivates Betsy to say/do what she does?

What is in this for her personally and her payoff?

Serious question...do you think the whole Lance thing is "insanity" or is it also insanity to go after...say... Contador, or any other rider suspected of PED use?

I ask because I see a trend (maybe not with you directly, but in general). Some people call the LA investigation a "witch hunt" but those same people would like to see Contador's (among others) head on a platter.

I just wondered what exactly you think is "insane".

To answer your Betsy question, what is her payoff...how about support for her husband.

As Doc Holliday said in Tombstone: she's looking for "a reckoning". Of all the people put on the witness stand she had nothing to gain by telling the truth except maintenence of self-respect. If the parties guilty of gutting the sport for profit and self-agrandizment go down as compensation for the few that stood like Betsey; it will be worthwhile.

I must say, there are some characters on this forum. There are somepeople that I will occasionally search their user names just to see what they have posted lately. Of course, these are the people who don't make posting here a part of their daily rituals, which excludes many of you! But even for our most articulate and most ehhh...esoteric posters, suchas maybe say TFF or Huge Anus it begins and ends right here for me.

Except for you, Polish. (and is it polish like the country or polish like pledge furniture polish? Or is it reader's choice?) I mean not any harm at all, but I would actually like to meet you. Some of the complete mindless insanity seems to be the work that not one man could be capable of. Is it just one guy? Or like 3 or 4 out of work comedy writers just having a huge tongue in cheek go with the lot of us? That would be just truly spectacular.

Anyhow, sir, (I assume it is a 'sir') a tip of the hat in what is truly a body of work that stands alone. The quality, the consistency, the sheer endurance and indefatigability (is that a real word?), you are either the AC of Lance fanboy's or truly a tongue in cheek genius. Chapeau and rock on.

I've never been called esoteric...I am not sure whether I need to come out of the closet or thank you? Most people stick to short, well worn vulgarities when referring to me...but you made me feel special...kind of tingly and warm...

So what is in it for Frank?

Tyler already testified. He isnt going to change his story since he has a deal and lying gets him in hot water. LA didnt give him a bro hug and some unknown words were exchanged now now it is tampering.

Prosecutors probably set the whole confrontation up.

More bad news for Lance = more mystery posters appear on the forum. Some people I tell ya, with an unemployment rate of 9% you'd think Bizarre Voice could hire people with a brain. Just look at the stupidity on display by this fellow Zig.

What isn't in it for Frank ?

Ya prosecutors control Lance's brain and they made him talk to Ty, instead of just saying "what up".

What a flipping moron.

Now that I've finished chuckling over that one, I'd love to read your explanation of how they accomplished the setup. Oh, and what brand of tin foil you prefer.

all they had to do was put a couple of well placed ads on the livestrong website:

"Livestrong Jet Customers: Double Frequent Flyer Miles This Weekend Only"

"Save your cash cash with our 2 for 1 meal deal at Cache Cache - Valid This Weekend Only"

game, set, match.

I'm calling total BS on this one. Anyone with the real scoop knows that Public Strategies outsourced their work offshore quite a while ago - in fact there is a confessional post from last July disclosing this. - See http://forum.cyclingnews.com/showthread.php?p=256950#post256950

So the 17 interns thing is made up. How DARE you? In case you were not aware of some unwritten forum rules, making up stuff for posts is reserved for theHog. How DARE you intrude on his territory? I think an apology is in order.

That is utterly ridiculous.

After that he will tell you the address of the sound stage in Burbank where they staged the lunar landings.

That's your post. I didn't know LeMond was in the Japanese Army and instigated the Bataan Death March. It all makes sense now! Flicker, did you catch this fact? This kind of information will finally dent Lemond's sterling reputation.... Someone call the 60 minutes!

Bangalore is about right.

What wine goes best with pop corn?

Anything with a screw top!!!!!

That would be Thunderbird, or Wild Irish Rose.

I laughed really hard at that!

I'm not fussy. A Lambrusco will do for me.

 

[jackwolf]

Not only yes, but they actually have quite competent people to analyze the hard drives. And that's BOTH the FBI and the Electronic Crimes Task Force of the US Secret Service.

And being obvious Armstrong is not the sharpest tool in the box, I wouldn't be surprised if he and his mates simply deleted the video files without reformatting the hard drive, in which case the information can easily be recovered, even if the Recycle Bin has been emptied. There are also a myriad of files other than the actual video file that are modified during recording, and that these people probably wouldn't have a clue about. And then there's more to a computer than the hard drive. And then there's the camera, of course. If the cameras weren't functional [cough, cough], and on top of that the hard drive was reformatted, I can imagine inspector Columbo asking many, many, many questions to many different people. A mountain of eye witnesses and cross-examination will probably be enough to get a few people, including Armstrong, in serious trouble, but there will be electronic evidence of some type as well.

Neil never disappoints.

“Would you feel threatened if someone said to you, ‘We’re going to destroy you on the witness stand and we’re going to make your life a living hell?’ ” Hamilton’s lawyer told the New Your Times. “Not a lot of shades of gray there.”

So now the recent evening takes on a hugely ironic flavor. Hamilton, a doper, is eating dinner at a restaurant owned by marijuana dopers and is being accosted by a guy who is being investigated for doping. Jesus….what type of place is Aspen? From the sound of it, this mountain town blows Venice Beach out of the water!
