OT: Oh yeah, Lance Armstrong said stuff of mild importance tonight.
Well, technically Monday, but you all know what I mean. Here is one of those fancy internet linky-ma-jiggers to an ESPN article with a few highlights of the interview. I was pretty blown away with how openly he confirmed just about everything she threw at him. He couldn't help himself with his little jab at the USADA for their report on his '09-'10 tour, but overall he seemed to put the onus on himself. I still think he's a big fat jerkface, but, at least now he admitted as much. Thoughts from the MGoCommunity? I will also accept answers such as "WOOOOO BIG 10 ROAD WIN LOLPHERS" because obviously.

This was discussed on Monday. You made the post like something new happened tonight just to bring up a discussion from 4 days ago?
January 17th, 2013 at 11:00 PM ^
and the article he posted was either published or edited seven minutes ago.
January 17th, 2013 at 11:06 PM ^
Oh in that case my bad, I thought the interview aired the day it filmed. Haven't followed it too closely tbh.

He managed to ruin Christmas.

Who is this fictitious-arm-wrestling-sounding man's name you're referring too?!
January 17th, 2013 at 11:16 PM ^
He was good.

January 17th, 2013 at 11:00 PM ^
If Lance Armstrong is somehow behind this whole Te'o thing, and has been planning it for years to dull the impact of this interview, he's my new hero.
January 17th, 2013 at 11:02 PM ^
Scott Tenorman, right?
January 17th, 2013 at 11:02 PM ^
January 17th, 2013 at 11:03 PM ^
But for the record, I don't believe for one minute that there's a single clean guy in all of competitive biking. Not one.
January 17th, 2013 at 11:15 PM ^
OK, you're probably right
January 18th, 2013 at 12:28 AM ^
FYI don't throw stones too far. I think the NFL and NBA are loaded with dirt, too.

God forbid that someone has interests that are different than yours.

Well the delay in airing the interview until today sure backfired for Oprah.
January 18th, 2013 at 12:46 AM ^
The NYTimes just ran an article about how good it was for OWN.
January 17th, 2013 at 11:06 PM ^
Did he talk about what it was like to bang Sheryl Crowe?
January 18th, 2013 at 2:19 AM ^
January 18th, 2013 at 7:55 AM ^
And to be honest, it's repugnant to think that another person would see her in that way. But my hot MILF neighbor? Not at all, because, obviously....
January 18th, 2013 at 9:37 AM ^
January 18th, 2013 at 10:07 AM ^
From here on out, I am strictly about "bumpin' uglies". No more bangin'.
January 17th, 2013 at 11:07 PM ^
WOOOOO BIG 10 ROAD WIN LOLPHERS
January 17th, 2013 at 11:08 PM ^
Go back where you came from...oh wait! He can't - he became too big for his old life:

He spent so many years covering it up and denying it all—why come clean now? Blackmail? Does he have cancer again and he's trying to make amends?
January 17th, 2013 at 11:19 PM ^
He's been banned for life from associating with pro cycling. He probably wants to get that reduced to a few years (which is more typical for those who fess up).
January 17th, 2013 at 11:21 PM ^
What source of income does he have coming in? I'm guessing this is a plan to get him back into some competitions et all and maybe to increase book sales?
January 18th, 2013 at 12:48 AM ^
Sounded from CNN tonight like he could owe the federal government up to 90m (triple damages for 30m) in the whistle-blower case against him, and that's just the start. Lance will declare bankruptcy before this is over.
January 18th, 2013 at 12:51 AM ^
January 18th, 2013 at 11:29 AM ^
January 18th, 2013 at 7:40 AM ^
ESPN said there would probably be a settlement, but likely not less than $40mil. Loose change for the federal government, really. (no politicial)
January 18th, 2013 at 8:33 AM ^
He is actually a world class triathlete. He has the ability to make revenue streams there, but until he admits, he is barred. So Lance:
1) Admit to doping
2) Get lifetime "ban" revoked and serve 2-3 year "ban"
3) Come back and win triathlons
4) ?
5) Profit
January 17th, 2013 at 11:19 PM ^
I can't bring myself to read or watch anything about Lance. I have no respect for him.
January 17th, 2013 at 11:28 PM ^
January 17th, 2013 at 11:38 PM ^
I figured it was because she found out the truth and that she didn't want to live the lies. I certainly didn't believe anyone could be such a douchebag as to have survived cancer and as soon as your girlfriend is diagnosed you dump them.
But it looks like Lance is in fact that much of a douchebag.

Nut cool, man. Nut cool.
January 18th, 2013 at 7:49 AM ^
Send him to Ballivian.
January 17th, 2013 at 11:40 PM ^
sociopath
January 18th, 2013 at 6:46 AM ^
I do not think that word means what you think it means.
January 17th, 2013 at 11:43 PM ^
To me, this interview established him as one of the biggest douches I have ever heard of. I mean it is one thing to lie about PEDs to protect his cause, humanitarianism, and organization, but for his selfish motives, I mean come on. He ruined numerous lives and careers in order to protect hs image that in my mind will never be repaired. I really do feel for his teammates that had to put up with him and actually came to know him as a friend but were ultimately betrayed in the long run... Here is an article about who the real Lance is, and he has not only betrayed those fighting cancer, but he has also destroyed a national fan base in which we had all come to know and admire because of his "determination." Shame.

What's amazing to me is how this is the sidestory in the sport's world right now. With the Teo scandal/what-the-hell-is-going-on-here-ordeal I just would never have guessed that this sack of shit and his one testicle could admit to cheating for all these years and it would be second place in terms of shock value in sports today.
Either way, glad to see him fall, when a story is too good to be true, it's most likely too good to be true.
P.S. --- I hope his charity changes its name.
