Cycling champion Lance Armstrong is engaged to rock star Sheryl Crow and is considering coming out of retirement to try for an eighth consecutive Tour de France victory, he told the Austin American-Statesman on Monday.

Since Armstrong and Crow have been living together for 18 months, their engagement may have been expected, though the couple has been dispelling breakup rumors since May.

But a spring wedding followed by a summer Tour?

"I'm thinking about it," Armstrong said. "I'm thinking it's the best way to piss (the French) off."

Armstrong said he has entertained the idea for only the past two weeks. He said he began thinking about it when a French newspaper reported Aug. 23 that he had tested positive six times for a banned blood booster as he was winning his first Tour in 1999.

Woo hoo! A couple more rides with Pres Bush, and who knows? Even so, pissing them off would be their just desserts.

Looks like Amrstong will be eating Crowe.

You beat me to it. LMAO

LANCE! YOU CAN DO ITTTTTT! TAKE THAT! You nasty smelly surrender monkeys!

[Tallguy]

His team was really weak last year. With the exception of Hincapie's stage win, he had little help on the climbs. Put a stronger team around Armstrong and he'd be the favorite again next year. Not automatic, mind you. Just the favorite.

The French certainly wouldn't like it if we won another!

Of course, if he lost....

[Beaker]

That's just awesome.

That is a GREAT quote.

Don't do it Lance. Some insane Surrender Monkey will stick a knife in you while you're riding.

Oh my, that's funny. And he really said it (?) . . .

[July 4th]

Haha...sometimes I think he's gone insane for dating that woman, but occasionally he surprises me.

See my #21. Lance has potential. After things calm down in NOLA and MS, Bush ought to have him out again for a ride. I hope he does it, an 8th Tour, really sends a message to the Frenchies. I would love to fly there and witness it in person. That would be le Tour to see in person!

Or, with Crowe, a bird in the hand is as good as one on the bush?
