Ooooooooohhhhhh. It's really ing long. Then don't ing do it.
I'm sick of all the "it's the most popular sport in the world...why don't you like it?" horse . And the idiot who compared a stupid ass bike race in France to an NFL game isn't even worth a response.
And so what if Lance beat cancer. So did my mother-in-law. Big freaking deal.
how many of anything, did she win? how much money has she raised for cancer? etc..Ooooooooohhhhhh. It's really ing long. Then don't ing do it.

great for her though.. my mom beat it too...
i like lance
i think hes top 3 greatest american athletes of all time
i think women (in general) dont like him bc he left his wife for sheryl crow when his wife "stood by" him
but then again im not a woman
I don't think anyone doing it is complaining that it's too long, you were the idiot wondering why they stopped on a daily basis. I'm betting you're ass wouldn't DRIVE 2k miles much less bike them without stopping.Ooooooooohhhhhh. It's really ing long. Then don't ing do it.

I understand that to you wrestling with April or chasing down keychains are sports, but just because you don't like watching something doesn't make it any less of an amazing accomplishment.
When did I ask why they stopped on a daily basis? I really don't care what the they do. I'm not impressed. I couldn't give 2 s about what anybody does in ING FRANCE.
My only confusion was that it is a bunch of different races all with different winners and a different ING leader. And bringing that April up AGAIN is pretty goddamn low.
Yeah, that was a low blow. Manny backing a bike rider is pretty ironic.
Screw that, just appreciate what kind of physical stamina it takes to complete something like that.I'm sick of all the "it's the most popular sport in the world...why don't you like it?" horse .
You're right - NFL players call it a season when they sprain a toenail or tweak a knee.And the idiot who compared a stupid ass bike race in France to an NFL game isn't even worth a response.
Meanwhile, you've got guys continuing on the bike race with their arm in a sling after they broke their collarbone when they crashed going 50 mph down a hill.
Or guys continuing a race after crashing into the back of their team vehicle when it had to brake suddenly.
More guys have died due to downhill crashes in the Tour de France than have died in the combined sports of the NBA, NFL, and MLB (on or off the field/court).
So yeah, you're right - it is a pretty ing weak comparison.
Dude, you have the word Aggie in your name. Do you honestly think I give a about your opinion?
Dude, you're trying to come back with a knock on me being an Aggie, do you actually think I give a about the first grade insults?
Yeah, right.
A quick google search indicated that there have been three total deaths in the 100 years of this bike riding thing. One of those was because the guy was on so much juice he had a heart attack. The other two happened in 1995 and 1935.
Nice try.
Again, my beef with this sport is lack of global compe ion. How many people have you met who want to ride a bike for a living? How many countries in the world is riding a bike a top ten sport? I'm not saying it isn't difficult ... I'm saying that there aren't many people out there who strive to be bike riders.
Seven in a row or whatever is impressive for Lance Armstrong, but I'd be more impressed with accomplishments in sports even like ping pong, golf, cricket, handball, etc where there's more people striving to be the best.
Ah good point LJ, there was actually five deaths but only three were riders (a camera crew crashed into a ravine way back in the day and were killed).
So I should be impressed with a confusing ass bike race through France because people DIE while doing it?
Makes perfect sense to me...
I'm not saying you have to like it. I'm saying it's idiocy to not acknowledge that it takes hardcore athletic ability to do what they do. I understand it's not your thing. You've made that pretty damn clear.
I don't understand what is confusing about the stages. Think about them as laps of a damn NASCAR race if it makes it easy for you. There are different leaders on different laps of any race.
And yeah, after taking on some big ass hills on a bike, I have a newfound respect for doing that going up mountains. But I also think it's fun as all . I've done 30+ miles in the Hill Country, and it's awesome.
Lance Armstrong is probobly one of the top 5 athletes of all time, EASILY.
BTW, didnt Lance campaign and show up at a Bush Rally???
Thought I saw that, after his tour win I thought he did that.
I also never doubted their athletic ability. Why did one post about my a) not caring about the race and b) not understanding the format turn into my not respecting bike racers athletic ability and my not being able to run around a soccer field for 90 minutes?
And the NASCAR analogy still doesn't fit, because regardless who leads the race during the race it still comes down to who's in first when the checkered flag drops.
Today, Lance Armstrong wasn't in the overall lead when the leg started, he finished second, and now he's the overall leader. I'm cornfused.
because its done by time.
How is that so hard to figure out.
No , so the person who finish the whole race the fastest is the one in the lead right?
Guess what, the person that finishes the entire Tour De France with the fastest time is the winner.
How hard is that to understand? It's a race, not calculus.
x a million.
ASF just got owned by Tpark.
I don't even know why I've wasted so much time arguing it this far.
If they want to have the race on seperate days, fine. I'm just saying I'd be more interested if they did it Cannonball Run style. Here's point A, here's point B. First one from point A to point B wins.
I'm a simple stupid American who likes his sports simple, his chicks fat and dumpy and his keychains free.
Y'all enjoy the sweaty Frenchies in tight pants.
I'm out.
Yeah Timvp, cause trekking up a steep hill and riding a bike for 111 miles in one day, sucks.
Name me 5 athletes better.
And, if I supposedly just "owned" someone, isnt that a hint..........
Yeah, I suck. First one to Tpark's dom. I win. WOOHOO!
So you dont like thinking in other words....I'm a simple stupid American who likes his sports simple, his chicks fat and dumpy and his keychains free.
Damn...

the french, Im enjoying Lance Armstrong kicking their ass.
They changed the course this year, so that it had less hills and mountains where he excels, and hes STILL winning.
He gets tested 3 4 5 times MORE than anyone else, and comes up clean everytime.
Its cool to label Lance is on something, but dont do it to Barry Bonds....
LIke Lance said.
"What am I on? Im on my bike, busting my ass 12 hours a day. What are you on"
Classic.
