Your son is only 12? Wow, I am both amazed and angry (kids aren’t supposed to be that smart so early!) … Congrats. The last time these two emotions were experienced at the same time was when I discovered there was no Santa.

I liked Lance, now I am sick of him and Sheryl on Oprah, On the NFL on SNL, I am not bitter,um maybe i am. I am grateful for what he has done for the sport and for cancer research. I think the only thing he could do that would make me happy is show up at Norba Nationals for the next couple of years and race, maybe Mtn Biking would rise from the ashes then. But really, his foundation sent a Cease and Desist order to Skidstrong an organization whose sole purpose was to help out of luck, injured Bike messengers. I mean, how the heck are they going to hurt the image of the LAF?I won’t even get into doping, I am convinced they all do it. They are all guilty, but I would be to if it meant a few years of million dollar contracts, ban me for 2 years, who cares, as Chapelle says… I’m Rich B………!

Ummm … forgiveness, Tayfur, but I like Lance. Granted, I haven’t met him personally yet, either. I probably never will. But his personality has a lot of the same flaws mine does, even if he has more money to show for it. I don’t think of him as a role model or anything, but I certainly find him interesting to read about.

How do you like anybody you don’t really know personally? I like Lance as much as I can within that framework. I’m sure he’s a real jerk to deal with a lot of the time, a real Type A jerk. But I admire the massive amount of charity work he does, it’s no mere publicity campaign, and I know he does a lot of good things, quietly, for the sport. He takes particular interest in young riders. His accomplishments are without parallel, though it’s pretty clear he has feet of clay. It’s hard to say how much of his jerkiness – the lawsuit threats, the complaints in the press – is high strung pro riders and trainers being really catty, or legit jerkiness. I am a Type A jerk, I work with a lot of Type A jerks, and a lot of my friends are Type A jerks. So it doesn’t bother me if people I like act like jerks sometimes, as long as they don’t cross some lines that I think are inviolable. Lance has certainly been a jerk at times, but then he’s also been a real prince at times, along with being the greatest rider in the history of the greatest race. Fully human, in other words. I like that, or at least don’t dislike that. As for accomplished guys around biking I "like like," I’d love to have a beer with Andy Hampsten or Bob Roll. They have an exuberance about bikes and life that is flaky enough to be actually likeable and maybe they are even fun to be around. Hampsten’s win in the Giro, nailed down in an outrageous climb and descent in a blizzard, was so epic that it’s up there with Schilling’s stapled ankle game for the Sox, the Immaculate Reception, and Willis Reed’s limping out onto the court. Bobke might even be my cycling hero… he got paid to ride and be a goofball, and now gets paid to hang out, drink nice wine, insult the French and toss off non-sequiturs and be a goofball? Man, that’s a good life. He’s probably fun at parties too, providing he keeps his clothes on. I’m sure somebody around here knows him and could comment…

Fatty, Lance DID say he was going to help find a cure for cancer on the Barbara Walters Special the other night. It was as boring as him announcing his retirement [or him winning another Tour de France]. Trust me, nothing short of him a) being gunned down or b) gunning down someone himself, will save this movie. And I say you keep the "pesky first wife incident" in the movie. What’s a good celebrity autobiographical movie without a little domestic disturbance. Right, Tina? Even if you have to make it up. Much more interesting. Much.

Conejita – Oh, IT’S ON now, dude! ;-0 (GAH! 400 short…)Fatty/Scythe – As you will now have seen, the animation as still fine at that speed, but you don’t have so much time to look at it. Really, once you get past about 90,000 you just have to let go of your conscious self and use the force.Tayfur – H’mm. I certainly don’t "like" Lance: he does not come across as a very nice or likable person. Conversely, it’s impossible not to admire his athletic achievements, irrespective of what else you think of him. Irrelevantly, my cycling hero has always been Greg Lemond.
