I don’t need to re-read anything. I don’t share your view of this story. And I’m not as scandalized as you are by the history it reveals. I feel bad for the Andreus. And that’s pretty much it. I’m supposed to care about Greg LeMond? Please. C’est à rire.

Great post. The only people I have much sympathy for in this story are the Frankie and Betsy Andreu. They never really understood the world or the people they were challenging until it was too late.

Steve Simmons now offering a bounty for a picture of Auston Matthews eating a hot dog so he can run him out town.

An “off” is a crash, this is what’s known as a “moment”

I can’t argue with you there. If there’s one (and only one) thing that Ovechkin can win, it’s the division.

Just noting that “I am not a candidate...” could very well mean that Pitt isn’t yet desperate enough for Sean Miller and his current situation.

This isn’t my grandpa, but that of a friend who unfortunately passed away so she’s not here to relate the story.

They probably died before a beacon would have been any help, rescuers couldn’t even make it there first try. When your doing what these guys do a fuck up means death. I guess it would help recover the bodies for the family, but this isn’t skiing on the backside of a resort.

The same could be said about a number of hobbies and occupations. What about downhill skiing? What about auto racing? What about being in the military? What about crab fishermen? This is a dumb argument. Life is full of risks. Wrap yourself in bubblewrap and stay inside, but this was a man who lived his life the way…

I tried to respond to this earlier. I guess in the realm of professional competitive sports, anything that can possibly, even unproven and remotely, be considered a PED, makes me see this in a new light. This was an enlightening discussion. A long term study actually is worth a look, and I’m curious to what degree,…

I’ll acknowledge you for this. Remember to all of those (not you) with their underwear in a bunch: I am just writing about the concept of how ridiculous it is to view prednisone through the scope of the implication that it is performance enhancing. If anyone else defensive wants to jump to some more conclusions, give…

I’m unsure how the NBA works, but in boxing you can get what’s called a TUE (therapeutic use exemption) as long as you present documentation of your need for the substance.

Interesting. I kind of feel like breakaways are less frequent because the teams know how to counter them better. Quintana can try an assault in the mountains but Sky isn’t going to let that happen. Teams weren’t as organized in Armstrong’s heyday.

Agreed. Lots of wriggle room there. REI makes a ton of cash on the Vista brands, especially CamelBak.

From REI’s statement:

Don’t they make camper attachments for pickup trucks? They sit in the bed and extend over the top of the cab a bit. Am I making sense? My morning coffee isn’t working today...

I use a “top sheet” but until just now I didn’t know I did, because to me, it’s just a sheet. I use that and a comforter in the winter and just the sheet if it’s too hot in the summer. I thought that’s how everyone does it? I don’t really mind if others don’t use a top sheet, but comforter only seems weird. I mean, I…

Plus easy to park and can go anywhere.

My wife and I always wanted a VA camper van. Naive me thought I could find an old one that needed some work for a few thousand. I learned the error of my thinking almost immediately. Its like these people have no concept of how money works.

Well, my comment was for rational people who possess an understanding of value for money, so there’s that...
