Ridiculous. Lighten up. Excellence is excellence, regardless of politics. Go Lance.

What happened with his USPS sponsership? anybody know?

[Landru]

"Listen. We know you support him. We all support him. My guess is, when he was married, his wife even supported him."

Ummm, gee whiz I know it's a "guess", but I'm not so sure 'bout that.

"There she is, on a split- screen while Lance is pedaling furiously. There she is, on the sidelines when the racers start the stage. There she is, riding in a support car with five- time tour winner Hinault. There she is, canoodling with Lance. There she is, EVERYWHERE."

Think this is bad, watch NAZZZZZCARRRRR.
Blond wives - blond wives - EVERYWHERE!!

"The tour doesn't need Sheryl Crow to make it relevant..."

HA!!

...oh yes it does. :o)

I'm sorry, I just can't get into bicycling - especially in a race that goes on for days and days. Besides, the whole thing lost whatever competitive sports appeal it might have had the day that I learned that the winner wins because he is the front man for a team of anonymous blockers and pacers who conspire each day to keep him in front. It's like watching a marathon race in which the participants are allowed to have team mates who actively obstruct other runners and move in front of their chosen winner from time to time so he can get a bit of a break by "drafting" in their wake.

Sheryl Crow is an ugly, publicity-hungry idiot.

[wireman]

Grown men on bicycles???

Why on Earth does anyone give a flyin'....Never mind.

[RobRoy]

Sheesh. I dumped tv eight years ago, left the radio a few months ago, and dumped all internet news a little over a month ago (it's easy with gmail). I checked my old hotmail account and noticed a headline about the tour.

Here I am doing my 15th Seattle to Portland bike ride tomorrow and I didn't even know the tour was going on.

DOH!!!

Actually, life has been much, MUCH better.

I'm off and back to ignorant bliss. Everyone have a nice day and if something terrible happens that doesn't directly effect me, don't tell me. Meanwhile, I'll keep my powder dry for when it is time to take up arms.

Keep me posted for that.

Everytime I see an article about this guy I'm reminded how he dumped his wife and kids for this floozy.

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

Blame Lance for Sheryl.

In my teen years, I scoured the networks for signs of the tour, but those days, it wasn't huge. There were no cable networks to track the live progress of Greg LeMond, Bernard Hinault, Laurent Fignon or Pedro Delgado. Instead, I'd set a VCR for six hours on a Sunday, and cross my fingers for about 20 minutes of highlights.

Translation: I was watching the TDF before it was popular, before YOU people did, I'm a true fan, not a poseur! We used to have a saying in high school about things like this: "I was punk before you".

[cry4justice]

Yes, Sheryl ruins the Tour and who the heck needs to hear her inane comments? In total agreement with you - couldn't have said it better myself. I live in Austin and got to see the skank (Crow) up close and personal. Lance is a great champion but we all have our flaws.

[Libloather]

But I'm not impressed, or enlightened.

Enlighten up. (Pretty funny bumper sticker I saw today...)
