The Tour de Oprah (WT) (1 team of 1 rider) Live Thread

[ElChingon]

We need the condensed version like the NFL games, a game of 3 hours can be watched in 30 minutes in condensed mode. This Oprah show might be a total of 15 minutes in compressed mode.

 

[ValleyFlowers]

Whew!
I can see why Oprah said her staff were mesmerized watching the interview.

 

[blackcat]

How did it go down?

I did not get that much from him Moose, he just said words to the effect "that is not exactly how it went"

So perhaps motoman just left his blood in the panniers, your suspicion is as good as mine

 

[wirral]

In Asia, I get muzak and no commercials.

 

[Big Doopie]

Will not cooperate with USADA but willing to do Truth and Reconciliation

amazing he still thinks he controls his fate...

 

[McClimber]

So true, but we all want to here it.

But we don't want to hear the lies and the dodges all over again.

The WE, WE, WE instead of I, I, I is just gross.

There are some many people involved with Lance and his doping and not to talk about any one else is a joke.

Oprah could have cut it to one night with all the obvious BS that Lance is saying.

 

[DominicDecoco]

What f'cuking pile of nothing. As expected.

Goodnight.

 

[carl spackler]

i've had students with homework excuses that are more believable

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

With so much bs from Lance, the entire US farm belt wouldn't need fertilizer for years.

I am glad the Andreus didn't forgive this turd.

 

[Puckfiend]

Betsy on CNN right now with Cooper viewing clips from Oprah!!

Go now!

So why are you watching? Sorry to be blunt.

 

[Big Doopie]

no lemond?

just the name lemond must freak armstrong out.

deep down he knows lemond is both the athlete and the man he could never be.

he is furious with lemond.

the only true emotion he feels is anger. and lemond makes his blood boil.

 

[ValleyFlowers]

Betsy is on AC 360 with analysis right now.

 

[boardhanger]

Lance 1 Public 0

Lance gave a good account of himself.

 

[Microchip]

Surprising. It was actually palatable.
He cannot help but lie though!! It's a terrible sickness.

 

[La Vie Claire]

Reaction from the NYTimes:

[rhubroma]

So, let's see, he's lied about his substances, that it wasn't any more of sophisticated program than the rest, while citing the East Germans, that he didn't pressure guys on the team to dope, Dr. Ferrari, the Tour de Swiss positive, what Betsy heard in the hospital room. This is what is meant by Lance coming clean.

 

[The Hitch]

keenan on sky news now.

Cadel won clean. wiggins won clean. They didnt go as fast as Lance. Cycling is clean. Lance and people from lances era are tainting a clean sport.

 

[ValleyFlowers]

Betsy is going OFF on Lance right now.

 

[brilleaben]

Betsy setting it straight on CNN, thankfully!

 

[Amsterhammer]

He is truly more loathsome that I imagined. This was an appalling, disgraceful 'performance', where he deliberately avoided so many things he shouldn't have been allowed to skip over. I think he must have told Oprah that he flat out wouldn't respond to certain questions, like about the Hog.

Vile sociopath, bah.

 

[blackcat]

Will not cooperate with USADA but willing to do Truth and Reconciliation

Sans truth

 

[Briant_Gumble]

Lance gave a good account of himself.

You can't be serious and I don't think you are.

I think to the layman who knows nothing about cycling he's done after that interview. Their going to be asking for his blood in the streets.

 

[McClimber]

USADA needs to say "No" to Lance and "Truth and Reconciliation". To late dude.

Lies and lawyers till the end. He had congressmen doing his dirty work till the bitter end. He attacked everything including trying to get USADAs funding pulled.

Desperate man, Desperate measures.

Lance still has a was to fall. When will he have to liquidate all his assets? When will he file bankruptcy?

1 year and he will be back living with his mom.

All the new lawsuits will bleed him dry.

And rightfully so.

Okay, so:

- coached not to say 'cancer' because people already (rightly) think it's a shield... 'my disease', etc.

- coached not to say anything that will admit perjury in the SCA case (still hopes to settle out of court?)

- coached not to say anything that could paint him as a controlling figure in USPS (qui tam)

- coached to throw in a couple of jokesy moments amongst the 'contrition', to make him seem human... and he chooses to say 'I won't talk about the details of our private conversation...' and then a minute later breaks that by saying '...and Betsy won't mind me saying this... but I never called her fat'.

Hoo boy. He is sooooo clueless. Totally dead. No sport to come back to for any kind of redemption story, nobody cares about him anymore except to pile on, he's nothing. That's it, dug his grave deeper. Lance you wish you could go back in time so you wouldn't have to be honest with the public, but just with Travis Tygart. Too freakin' bad.

The whole 'look, I'm no fan of the UCI...' start to several sentences sounds awfully alot like the online Armstrong defenders. 'Look, I'm no fan of Lance, and I'm not defending him, but he's not being treated fairly omg!!!'

Dead in the water. Goodbye, worthless piece of garbage.
