  1. Over and over I've seen references from people who say that Floyd rides his
    best when he's mad.

    Does this put Lance's taunting of Floyd into a different light?

  2. Just confirms he watched Bobke the night before the "comeback".

    FWIW:
    If he works it right, his lack of bluster could be his star quality. Being
    the anti-Armstrong is the best way for Landis to replace Armstrong. And,
    quite by chance, he is getting help from the man himself through Armstrong's
    recent round of press miss-steps. As Armstrong's public life must now be a
    battle to avoid becoming a B-grade celebrity, he has shown a new level of
    vindictiveness towards the sport that got him where he is, attacking the
    governing body of cycling, the European press, and his own former teammates.
    Landis, good-natured and low-key, cannot help but be a breath of fresh air
    to fans.

    Your ability to project personality onto people you've never met is
    without peer. What's your take on Kim Jong Il? Is he simply
    misunderstood like Martha Stewart?

    Dumbass -

    If people like you keep talking about him, LANCE will stay on the
    A-list.

    LANCE retired a year ago, but I'd bet that this year you made 10 times
    as many posts about him than you have about, say, Tom Boonen, World
    Champion, winner of RVV, more than a dozen other races and yellow
    jersey wearer.

    thanks,

    K. Gringioni.

    Read and comprehend. Not you personally. "People like you". As a group.

    Collectively, you will debate w/ the LANCE tifosi and keep him on the
    A-list indefinitely.

    LANCE has it made. The vast majority of other celebrities would be
    envious.
