The Official LANCE ARMSTRONG Thread 2010-2011

Lance Piestrong?

 

[cotterpin]

c'mon, no reason to be a negative nellie


now i am a bit embarrassed to bring this up - but as a stickler for playing by the rules - a "dns" is very different from a "dnf".

If the hog would have predicted a dns - that would have been notable.
But the fact remains that the hog predicted a dnf - and that seems highly unlikely now.

polish you gotta start to finish
hog didn't say 'dnf'; he said "finish":d:d

C'mon, no reason to be a negative nellie

With the chance of Lance winning the TdF in July as probable as monkeys flying out his bum, a robust case of the squirts in March can only be seen as a step in the right direction. GO Monkeys GO!

Don't try to sell krap to the krap police, oh polisher of horns. Ur arument doz not hold against the HOG.

Maybe Armstrong got sick after taking a look at The Hog's new clothing line

I wonder if he will hire any former strippers to model the womens clothes?

Oh, FFS .......

He could get lance to do some modelling!
It seems a little try hard...

I will point and laugh, then probably throw up in my mouth a little bit.

The whole Korheiser blow up, and subsequent discussion of appearance happened yesterday, and he was supposed to be on this morning. But he is in Europe, so it would've had to be via phone or camera or such.

It's a radio show, no physical presence is necessary. I would be very surprised if it was not done over the phone.

For crying out loud, he's a stupid jock. Is there any stupid jock you would point to and say to your son, "That is the type of person you need to be to be successful."? For your son's sake, I hope not.

Perspective, man. OJ Simpson turned out to be murdering lowlife scum. Still a great American football player.

The other little thing you failed to mention was overcoming cancer.
Armstrong's legacy and fame is inextricably linked with the undisputed fact that he contracted testicular cancer that spread to his brain, was given a slim chance to live, but managed to beat it, and then not only came back to professional bike racing, but raced and won at the highest levels, year after year. That simple story is inspiring regardless of his character or "what type of sportsman" he is. Who cares about that?

Don't feed the trolls. TFF, Race Radio, BroDeal, among others. They are locked into this mentallity that everybody who *likes* Armstrong holds him up as a hero role model super god. They seem incapable of realizing that some people simply find his story pretty dang amazing, which is undoubtably is.

Who knows what their problem is. They feel offended because of the attention Armstrong receives? They feel like they could be a superstar if it wasn't for dopers? Who knows. If they had any brains, they would stop wasting their time whining about Armstrong and go after the bigger fish, which is supposively the corrupt drug testing agencies.

But no... no... gotta whine about Armstrong because he owns the big house and all the toys they so desperately dream of. Hey, they could have those things too if they didn't FAIL AT LIFE.

Oh yeah.. they are so mad. They know that if Armstrong was standing in the same room as them, his mere presence would crush their moral to the point where they might just start crying.

Looks like some serious projection going on here. I think we finally have the answer to the question of why all your posts are a variation of the crap posted above. You failed at life, live vicariously through Armstrong, and are upset when anyone disturbs the shaky foundations you have built your fantasies upon.

[thehog]

Well if you eat too much donuts and drink too much bear, you tend to get ill

Correct.

The guy is embarrassed. There is no way he could have turned up to MSR with a gut. Cyclists are a vain bunch and they would have laughed at him. I wouldn’t have turned up either!

The thing is Lance Armstrong is right. Hard work wins the Tour de France. The problem we’ve had is that too many of his fans have been conditioned to the fact that you can ride poorly in March and all of sudden be 10% better than the rest of the peloton by July and flying. It’s not real. The cries of “its only March” should really mean “oh my god it’s March!” Yes you can get better but not by the levels we’ve seen in the past.

I did cheat a little as a friend of mine sent a text from Cape Town saying he saw Armstrong and said he was huge. MSR is a massive race. To finish it an amazing achievement yet people here seem to think that it’s normal to ride 300km and then sprint. It’s not. Riding 150km is very hard. Double that and you’re broken. Cav for the love of him at least admits this fact. You can’t ride MSR if you haven’t done the work and its oblivious Armstrong hadn’t being doing the work. It’s simple really. So the fairlytails of him improving his time trailing by 40% by July just won’t happen along with the fact if he wanted to complete let alone finish MSR and had to be in the top 3 at Mucia and he was nowhere near that. Reality is the name of the game here.

I’m not sure how far he’ll go now. It’s obvious that he’s gone back to do some serious training but he’s too far behind. The long haul travel was his stupidest mistake. He went after the money in Cape Town and didn’t think of the Tour. Anyone who has travelled 12+ hours on plane knows you cannot recover in 1 day. Armstrong has travelled to Australia, South Africa, Europe, Hawaii, USA, and Europe in 3 short months. That’s a hectic schedule for a normal person let alone a professional athlete.

Armstrong will continue to suck the life out of the support and squeeze every last cent he can before he walks away and good luck to him. He won the money game. But if I was in the TDU organisation for 2011 I would take my 3million I paid for Armstrong and buy Contador, Shleck(s) and Sagan for my race. That’s what would make it exciting. I’d pay to see that racing racing.

Do you ever contribute anything to this forum? All of your posts are some variation of this one.

I have written many times that Armstrong's story is inspiring, even if much of it is false. I do not hate or envy him, however I do dislike the *** groupies who parrot his every word and suspend rational thought when he comes to him and his myth.

Ahh I was thinking of Kornheiser's Pardon the Interruption on ESPN.

You're right. The hog and others are just trolling. We should not take them seriously.

 

[basque1]

RE: Mance Manstrong's latest gastroenteritis claim--diarrhea is a symptom, and diarrhea/dehydration is the doping cyclist's favored coverup for jacking up the old Hematocrit/Hemoglobin. Maybe Lance is busy doing so, in preparation for CI or Sarthe?

 

[Susan Westemeyer]

You're right. The hog and others are just trolling. We should not take them seriously.

This applies to both sides.

Certainly there are people who play sports who's humility and work ethic are admirable and a good example of a person living their life in a good way. Lance is not one of them.

So there are people who play sports whose humility and work ethic are admirable. Who cares? Who is stopping you from admiring their humility and work ethic, if that's what you need to do, or tell your son to do (again, I hope not). What does anyone of this have to do with Lance Armstrong?

As to him "overcoming" cancer, I have know some really great people who didn't and they were far superior people to Armstrong. Surviving cancer has much less to do with the person with the cancer, and much more to do with the type of cancer and the treatment that person receives. His story doesn't inspire me. My friend David, he inspired me. My friend Steve, he inspired me. My friend Ish, he inspired me. They had cancer, but it was the content of their character that was inspirational, not their cancer. Armstrong is a douchebag who got lucky, and there are people like you think there is something admirable about that. Hey whatever floats your boat.

It's not Armstrong the douchebag that is inspiring, it's the story of his experience demonstrating that it is not only possible to overcome cancer, but to do far better than that, that is inspiring. He's just a living breathing symbol of something that gives myriads hope, many in situations where hope can make an enormous difference for the better.

Why do you focus on the person so much, be it Lance Armstrong or one of your mythical "people who play sports whose humility and work ethic are admirable"? Blech.

And many times the trolls will try to minimize the quantity of "some people" by claiming they are only sockpuppets of "one person". Sockpuppet Phobia. Sockpuppet Phobes. Eeeek Eeeeek - its a sockpuppet! It is not suprising that they have sockpuppets themselves lol.

But back on topic....Lance.....MilanSanRemo....

...um....because that is how most people are judged, on who they are. His story is not inspiring to me. He is a living, breathing example that a narcissistic a$$hole can survive cancer and win races. Sorry, but color me impressed. Then again, I am sure that when one such as yourself recognizes a person of similar character, you are inspired.

As to how I raise my children, you can ***
