Now that Armstrong lost the Tour de France, will he go the hell away?
Or will he find some other way to invade into our collective unconscious?

3. That's what I was afraid of - probably get 8 more years of narcissistic grandstanding out of that.

6. He and Palin are going into business together
A combination bicycle/snow machine shop.

The business will fail, of course, and they will ask for a government bail-out while going on tour to speak out against bailouts.

The media will be there every step of the way!

7. I'm not nearly as annoying by him...
...as I am by Brett Favre.

I hate that guy so much now.

9. He'll be back with a new team next year
and will most likely be on the podium again.
Go Lance.

14. I sure hope so.
I know this will be considered sacrilege by many, but I'm as tired of Lance Armstrong as I am of Tiger Woods.

17. Lance has been out of the news for a while, so I'm okay. Woods, I'd like to give up for Lent. nt

19. Yep - I imagine his roid seller has been fired.
I know that if I were a charlatan who relied on illegal ways to cheat my way to the top, I'd be goddamned pissed off at the guy who sold me the inferior shit.

23. the man has a lot of skill to be able to come in 3rd at his age, though
He kept team Asana from going under financially. I also think he provides encouragement to a lot of cancer survivors.


But, yes, he is in the media A LOT.

25. I do have to give him props for his fitness and endurance, that's for sure.
Edited on Mon Jul-27-09 09:26 AM by Rabrrrrrr
He's just such an ass, though, and I am tired of him.

Of course, he's also now probably doing everything juiced up, but I doubt he was always so - and the Tour de France is one hell of a bike ride, especially for a guy like me who can barely go up even low inclines for any distance.

27. So raising cancer awareness is a bad thing?
Whatever. He raises a lot of needed money for research and as someone in that field, I would hope to see MORE of him and his LIVESTRONG charity.

30. If he were in the unconscious you wouldn't know it.

Seriously, I didn't realize Armstrong irritated people so much. The only time I heard his name was when he won the races or broke up with Crow.
