I'm glad that people here finally realize that LemonD is a tool

Listen, LANCE is not Olsen-ating on a lark. It's the only way he can
be sure that they're not some gold digger after his money (Heather
Mills). You should feel sorry for LANCE - he doesn't want to, he
_has_ to date 22 year old multi-millionaires. Poor *******.

Regardless, he remains one of the great cyclists of all time. I'm not
suggesting he's in the top-3 or 5 or whatever, but he would have given pause
to any of the top cyclists, ever, were they to race with him. He was an
amazing talent, possibly the best "natural cyclist" ever (meaning that it
seemed like he was bred to ride a bike... it came easily to him, or at least
seemed to).

There are very few examples of world-class athletes who would seem, in all
regards, to be well-balanced people with their egos in check. Doped or
otherwise. It's a job requirement.

True. Lemond is among the great cyclists.

These are generally driven, obsessive people who as a part of their job act in
ways that would otherwise be objectionable. Even the most humble have ego issues
that would cripple a normal life.

Still there's a point where an old jock has to stop comparing himself to the
guys out there today and pointing out his superiority.- Hide quoted text -

Dumbass -

That's the problem. It's not his job anymore.

Athletes who have high emotional intelligence understand when to shut
it off. Leaving it out on the race course, the field or whatever.
Indurain, for one. As soon as the race was over, he was the perfect
gentleman.

LemonD is an emotional retard. He still thinks he's climbing Alpe d
Huez.

LANCE - somewhere in between. Better than LemonD. Worse than Indurain.

What has LANCE done besides embark on a multi-year pub crawl
with some of the most, how can I put it?, gaudy women in the
public eye? Not the kind of behavior one lauds, but it is his
business. No odd public pronouncements. Do you imply that LANCE
is not a gentleman?



Dumbass -


He doesn't have the reputation of being the warmest human being.

Still infinitely better than the wack-job-ness of LemonD.


thanks,

K. Gringioni.

I understand that Mother Teresa did not believe in
pain medication for her patients, and was inclined
to sit at their bedsides in their last hours.

Still infinitely better than the wack-job-ness of LemonD.
