A dog that showed up at my house 2 weeks ago with a steel wire around his neck slowly decapitating him.

My sister is a vet so we took care of him and since he proved to be a great fighter (he was an inch from death and 2 weeks later he looks great) i decided to name him after a proper hard man.

Great job of taking care of him. He looks like a fighter!

What a great thing to do Parrulo, I can't believe people can mistreat animals like that, it makes me angry. I hope the dog can live a happier life now :)

Back from holiday,

Nibali is a worthy winner TdF winner, he did everything right and more. Discussions about what if are dumb, cause you can't know who wuld've won and people are getting butthurt about it, so it's pointless. Nibali deserves better than that, though I do think Contador and Froome deserved to fight it out.

Cool video of his Tour and cool story Parrulo

Small chance you could've adopted a shark? I can't get my around the fact that Nibali's a dog:p:p

Bless you, sir. Believe me, when you set an example of mercy and empathy, it becomes catchy.

"Froome laid it down three times in two days. I don’t know if that's normal, if it was just bad luck or if he doesn’t know how to ride his bike."

Nice bite from the Shark :D

"Cycling isn’t only about watts, power and strength on the climbs. You've got to know how to ride your bike. Froome laid it down three times in two days. I don’t know if that's normal, if it was just bad luck or if he doesn’t know how to ride his bike. Team Sky didn’t do anything. How could they think about winning if Porte blew up just three days after Froome quit?"

At lease AC has some class to keep his mouth shut, unlike CF kept nagging how no one challenged VN in the Tour. If you want to challenge someone in the Tour, rule of the thumb is to stay on your bike first.

Contador and Nibali seem to respect/like each other way more than Froome. I remember them going on the attack together in Oman even though Nibali was way too crappy to do anything:D
