No, I will argue about Andy no longer with the people who initially busily biased in a negative way. Welcome, go ahead, bash, disrespect one's work, assert yourself through degrading if it enriches your inner world so much.

Yet you still obviously checked this thread out, and even made a post in it, hence I was right :D

Truly airstream I feel sorry for you. It has got to be tough being an Andy fan when he provides folks with so much material to work with......

Unless I have missed it there was the 'toothache excuse'
Mommy my tooth hurts!!!

That’s right! When the Hog entered town Andy hid under the covers with is toothache so he didn’t have to talk to his teammates about the team turning into RadioShack.

In anticipation of July-

Horner said he'd take me to McDonald's and buy me a Happy Meal if I let him be the leader for the Tour. This month they give you a My Little Pony with your Happy Meal!! {squeeing noises}

Admittedly Schleck does a lot to exacerbate the dislike aimed towards him, so making up excuses is just stupid. All riders get injured and to be truthful Schleck isnt injured as much as many others

Yeah, just look at Christian Vandevelde... guy breaks something/crashes out of a Grand Tour on a yearly basis... and he stays classy about it. I would be #$%^ing mad if every year that happened to me... but VDV just has kinda accepted it :)

I don't think it's sportsmanlike to make fun of a sportsman's sickness. He might be THE complainer, but hey, I don't think his stomach problems are an excuse to leave the race.
