[thehog]

Luke, I am your father. I will rise!

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

What's the morale to the story?

Lance: Don't get caught.

 

[rhubroma]

What do we care what about his personal way?

 

[auscyclefan94]

I don't even believe that he said that stuff to his wife or kids.

He doped before cancer Oprah!!

 

[trailrunner]

"The truth will set you free."

If only it were that simple.

 

[hfer07]

will you rise again?

well... (hold on a sec Oprah- I've got an Incoming call from my man Matthew McConaughey.......)

 

[auscyclefan94]

The moral is don't lie!!! Easy!

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Ok, everybody, now you can forget what channel the Oprah Winfrey Network comes on.

 

[rhubroma]

Now Oprah says her last inanity and, shows over!

What did he say, though, about anything relevant? Toc, toc, I tap my head.

 

[ValleyFlowers]

AC 360 is doing instant analysis again.

 

[Parrot23]

IMHO, he's a little disoriented (after the carpet bombing of the last few months). He's trying, warts/lies and all, but definitely in the dark and struggling to feel the walls, the boundaries.

Good for Oprah. She did well. Skeptical to the end but decent, fair.

hollywood bound baby!

 

[WildspokeJoe]

What's the morale to the story?

Lance: Don't get caught.

What's the moral of the story?

Lance: Ball bearings

 

[Amsterhammer]

And I stayed up till ****ing 4 am for that? This second part was a complete and utter waste and a major fail on Oprah's part.

 

[Jalina]

Oprah got off on an estrogen tangent with all the questions about his kids. Just gave him an opportunity to fake cry and whine how hard it is to be a d-bag parent.

I don't think that was a bad thing. For cycling people this seems incredibly soft, but for the average person who doesn't know a whole lot about the sport, that whole section about his kids just disgusted them far more than anything about the doping.

Make no mistake, Oprah may not be most the most hard hitting of interviewers, but she knows her audience and she is making sure he is being represented as unflatteringly as possible. She can barely contain her contempt and her audience will see that.

A Walsh or Kimmage interview would have been preaching to the choir, only cycling fans would have watched, this is making sure non-cycling fans see exactly what he is. I'm happy to have questions remain unanswered at this time in order for that to happen.

 

[trailrunner]

The moral of the story is NOT "the truth will set you free." It's that cheaters never win. Or the ends do not justify the means. Or Lance, you are a pr!ck.

 

[Parrulo]

this interview just proved what i always though about oprah, majorly overrated as an interview as she is too soft

a guy like jon stewart would have crushed armstrong even without insiders knowledge like people like kimmage and walsh have.

 

[northstar]

And the truth will set you free!!!! Maybe, someday, Lance will tell the truth, not today though. Man oh man, he is emotionless and creepy. I feel empty after watching that.

 

[TheEnoculator]

He doesn't even know the moral of his own story. And we are supposed to believe he became a better human being. Kiss my A-S-S!

 

[blackcat]

ask Oprah about her two coackroaches for pets.

These were the quivalent of her Three Cups of Tea, and a library full of Edgar Allan Poe for someone who had never read a book.

 

[auscyclefan94]

I do partly blame Oprah for the poor questions in the second half but the problem is that Lance simply was not going to answer that stuff and he made that clear when probed about who helped him.

 

[Parrot23]

will you rise again?

well... (hold on a sec Oprah- I've got an Incoming call from my man Matthew McConaughey.......)

LOL, you guys are too much!

Don't have to watch late night comedy shows; just show up at CN

 

[Carols]

Well he is obviously in therapy; he owned sociopath and narcisstic. In about 10 years he might be a worthwhile human being...he has begun the process of self awareness. Has 41 years to cover.

 

[LaPlagne87]

A Walsh or Kimmage interview would have been preaching to the choir, only cycling fans would have watched, this is making sure non-cycling fans see exactly what he is. I'm happy to have questions remain unanswered at this time in order for that to happen.

A very good point. It'll all come out. Give it time. LA is ruined anyway. There's no way he can come back to public popularity from those two nights.

 

[blackcat]

75 million day.

Let's reiterate

75 million day.

"Will you rise again?"

"I don't know."

Wait, what? Again? Only reason he rose in the first place was because he cheated.

he thought she meant his erection.
