Lance Armstrong interview

Every athlete in every sport is looking to get an edge on the competition. Perhaps we should target the manufacturers of these drugs, rather than the athletes that get caught using them.

Are you trying to change the subject to gun control?
If so, good idea - it may be less controversial.

I was actually agreeing with your last post! 🙂

But if we want to change to gun control, I would like it much better. Pachmeyer is best at gun control.

it was in his best interest to maintain his innocence at all costs, even if that meant discrediting friends and teammates, until it became absolutely impossible to do so. and that's what happened.

and every single one of his sponsors rode him until the wheels totally fell off.

I think he was just so naive and self absorbed that he never realized the tests would evolve to prove his guilt, until it was too late. So in his mind if no one could come up with a positive test he could just continually deny deny deny all the verbal stuff. Then he got caught with his pants down, and was completely unprepared, so he just kept up with the denial routine until he realized it was just too much.

Yeah, it will all come and go, with a few more lawsuits/criminal investigations and probably perjury charges. Then in a few years someone will be like "hmmmm :hmmm: let's be different and sign LA, it will be so cool!"

oh, its the money that drove the continued deception, but at the end of the day he needs to be able to look himself in the mirror and answer his kids questions... baring your soul to your kids that you cheated to get ahead...there is a tough nut....

The previews for tonight pretty much hinted at that. I think in that's part of the boiling point which made him realize he just needs to come out with it.

On a side note I do not want to see a bunch of dudes in spandex using viagra as a PED.
 
Why doesn't OWN have an HD channel? Do any providers carry it? I have two standard def OWN channels on FiOS.

Also, what was up with that shoddy camera work?

It exists in HD, seems like dish is the only one that carries it though. I guess the NYC metro market isn't big enough for FIOS or Comcast to consider it. I guess life is good if we're bitching about watching 2.5 hours of SD TV :hmmm:
 
Why would u want you want to see Oprah in HD anyway? She looks bad enough w/o.

both good ideas but neither would work.

lets face it, if a bunch of dudes on cross bikes started pulling in THOUSANDS of people to watch every weekend, the first thing that would happen is someone would start selling advertising. then category exclusivities. then endorsements. then athlete and team sponsorships. then the TV deal. then in order to make your corporate sponsors happy and get them more GRPs against the coveted 18-24 demo and national tv coverage, you need to win (or at least place) so you get featured. so you start with light bike parts. carbon! unobtainium! then everyone has it. now what? caffeine! red bull! viagra? shit yeah son, that increases your ability to cart oxygen around the body! oh, everyone can get that too. damn. shit, now what?

see where it all goes?

the only option left is communism
 
"The International Cycling Union called it "disturbing" to see Armstrong's confessions, but it said the sport is much different today than it was 10 years ago."

LMFAO!
🙄
 
I am the only person around who has never watched an Oprah show.
Seriously not even ONE REALLY I am NOT JOKING!
So I watched this interview with great expectations on both sides. .
W/out following Lance Armstrong's career closely. . I felt she was the better actor.
TOO busy to CARE. Just my personal take on it.
 
I thought this interview was about him coming forward about his lies? He did nothing but lie to the public and oprah even after we know who he really is. Goddamn that was brutally terrible. An real true ahole is an ahole forever. How the hell did he think he would get away with it with being an ahole to his teammates, forcing them to do so or be asked to leave the team. Did he think there wouldn't be payback? Even with them all coming out as winners someone was bound to come forward with what they did. It only takes one good person to start the fire. That was terrible. You could see right through his continuous lies and how did he think he could lie to all us cyclists. I had to get that out. What a lier. He's gonna burn forever.....
 
How long until we hear about Johan Bruneel's or Chris Carmichael's involvement? Or did that already come up & I missed it. (I haven't seen the interview other than some clips online BTW)

Bruneel is already under the gun. Carmichael was just a front for what Ferrari was doing, so he gets away clean.
