Lance Armstrong: Who Cares? No, Really, Who Cares About Him Losing his Tour de France Titles?

Lance Armstrong threw in the towel on his fight against doping chargezzzzzzz …

Who cares? Cycling is a joke. It’s a great hobby, it is outstanding exercise, but this stat is really all you need to know about cycling:

Of the 70 top ten finishers in Armstrong’s seven Tour De France victories, forty-one have tested positive for PEDS

Frankly, I’m shocked how much coverage Lance Armstrong being stripped of seven Tour de France titles has warranted. I was watching Colin Cowherd’s radio show on TV this morning and thank goodness 90210 is back on SoapNet. During every commercial I’d flip back to see if Cowherd had an interesting interview or was talking football gambling, but it was all Lance, all the time. Cowherd must have spent two hours on that fraud. (I haven’t watched Sportscenter today, but I imagine it is worse.)

Unlike his Texas friend, Roger Clemens, who came out fighting each round with endless stamina (and won), Armstrong has simply decided not to answer the bell and give up. Hey, whatever man. Your life. I’m just glad this is all over. Without your name in the headlines, cycling is doomed. Sports I’d sooner watch/care about/write about ahead of cycling (unless there’s a spectacular crash or altercation):

* Table tennis
* Bowling
* Cricket (don’t know the rules)

Unless Armstrong is putting his fists up at a bar, I could care less what he’s doing. Enjoy retirement, guy.

    Really?

    I prefer my ath-a-leets doped up, seriously. The M’s of the 90’s were great because they had to be juiced. Homerun after homerun? Who doesn’t like that?

    Agreed. Media attention that could have instead gone to discussing NFL agent drama. Fourth estate my ass.

    It’s really bad over on ESPN8 The Ocho, stay away from that.

    Cowherd, 90210 and SportsCenter comprise your TV watching? Jason, you need to drastically change your viewing habits.

    Your tunnel vision is getting to you again. He was one of the most popular athletes in the world for a decade.

    This has been said since 2006. He ain’t ever going to change. I choose to just roll with it.

    Well, I wouldn’t go THAT far.

    Don’t care about cycling. Don’t care about Armstrong (read too many stories about his sense of entitlement & his dumping his wife for Sheryl Crow).

    Read the story about Livestrong this morning. It wasn’t as much a rip job as I expected.

    Cycling isn’t my brand of vodka, either, but Armstrong is widely admired and respected because of his bout with cancer and for winning all those Tour de France titles. Remember all those people who used to run around with those “Livestrong” bracelets?

    Not surprised at all about the coverage his downfall is getting.

    I paid a little attention to cricket when they had their World Cup because some Indian guys I worked with followed it intensely. I don’t really get the rules either.

    10 am to noon. check your viewing guide and get back to me. can’t be something i get engrossed in, either.

    movie options are usually few/far between that early.

    Read the story about Livestrong this morning. It wasn’t as much a rip job as I expected.

    I don’t think it was intended to be a rip job. Just facts and questions that went unanswered. I thought it was pretty good.

    I will give McIntyre this, he has always hated cycling. Years ago when he started this site someone asked him if he was going to do a post on the Tour de France. His reply, “Why? Do people actually watch that?” Nevermind that Armstrong winning was on the cover of every magazine and led news coverage.

    I agree with him, though. Cycling is boring to watch. It needs more, not less, drugs. For the viewer.

    call me crazy, but couldn’t you do something besides watch TV?

    My truck is in the shop so I am home today. DID YOU KNOW THERE WAS A SHOOTING AT THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING? I do. Up until six minutes ago, that was all CNN was running.

    gonna need some video with this

    to be fair, you probably deserved actually getting hit.

    Don’t care about cycling. Don’t care about Armstrong (read too many stories about his sense of entitlement & his dumping his wife for Sheryl Crow).

    And then didn’t he turn around and dump Sheryl Crow as soon as she was diagnosed w/cancer? Such a standup guy.

    Read the story about Livestrong this morning. It wasn’t as much a rip job as I expected.

    I read that too, was surprised it wasn’t as much of a takedown as I was expecting.

    Just facts and questions that went unanswered. I thought it was pretty good.

    Admittedly, the article forced me to rethink what charities do with raised funds. I learned that “increased awareness” is worthwhile. I’d guess most people would still appreciate advances in finding a cure more, though.

    i think he needs tv that he can have on while he’s working. my wife can do other stuff with her shows on, like in and out of viewing range, but i cannot. when i want to watch something i want to focus on it

    I agree. That was awesome. The ball on that guy.

    Cycling makes track and field and baseball and ex-Yankees look clean.

    You left that particular out.
