The Versus Tour de France commentary was sprinkled over and over with the fact that Sunday's stage 8 — the first with any sizable climbing would not necessarily win the 2010 Tour for any rider, but it certainly could lose it for any given rider. I just would have never thought it was Lance Armstrong.
I didn't [...]
I didn't even think about the repercussions of Lance crashing out around the midway point of the 2010 Amegen Tour of California. No one was expecting him to complete the Tour of California victorious, but for him, it was a big training tool for the 2010 Tour de France — nothing trains you for the next [...]
This was rumored to be true yesterday. Now it's official. Back in 2004, the NHL Entry Draft was held at the RBC Center, but now the NHL has announced that Raleigh will host the NHL All-Star game in January 2011. Pretty cool. I just hope everyone coming into town for the game can figure out where [...]
Call me a typical Tar Heel, but with the Heels being banished to the NIT this year instead of the NCAA tournament, the tourney doesn't hold as much excitement this year. But how excited can I get seeing the Final Four in three dimensions? OK, not a bunch, but I am a fool for new tech, [...]
So I haven't actually heard the comments Tony Kornheiser made regarding cyclists on the road, etc. I'm about to hear the comments on YouTube here, but sounds like his comments were pretty crappy about biking on the road and that people should make contact for fun. A local morning shock jock DJ made similar comments a [...]
It seems with the clout of Lance Armstrong gone, his long-time sponsorship with Trek has also left team Astana. It's cool to see that in its place my favorite bike company — Specialized will be sponsoring Astana. It will be interesting to see how many other ProTour teams are Specialized for the 2010 season.
Specialized Joins Forces [...]
Ah… and the 2009 NFL regular season has begun.Sports are truly back! Part of our Sunday football rituals included watching the Fox pre-game show — Fox NFL Sunday featuring funny in-studio banter between Curt Menefee, Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Jimmy Johnson and Michael Strahan. They've got a good variety of football experience and it's a [...]
It'd be great to see another pro cycling stage race happening in the United States in 2011 as a and Lance Armstrong is the right guy to get some of these races to happen. For me personally, it be even better if races like this would help show promotors cycling has a growing domestic fan base [...]
Here's a twitter-like post tonight before crashing for the evening. (Up early for the 2009 Tri-Cyclists Criterium)
Congrats to Lance Armstrong winning the 2009 Leadville 100 — a record winning time on a flat rear tire!
Lance Armstrong Wins [...]
There's all kinds of ways Americans waste money — but the federal government wastes dollars on a whole other scale. As I'm sitting here with ESPN, I'm realizing there's a wonderfully simple way to cut some cash every single weekend. Every single sporting event seems to have some branch of the military presenting the colors. That [...]
