Armstrong's luck running out?

Why watch a football game when you can just watch the replays of touchdowns?

Football has some variety. Racing is much simpler, and the only interesting bit is at the end. Which is why sprints are entertaining and marathons aren't.

Probably true for NASCAR, but in other forms of racing, the whole race matters.  From start to finish, everything that happens sets up the end of the race.

Why sit and watch for hours when you can just watch the clip of the crash?

Why watch a football game when you can just watch the replays of touchdowns?  Here is my favorite one of the year:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFm6o-qB6T4  Multi-car pileups happen at least four times a year, but this was a unique stroke of genius.

Wow, kind of amazing nobody was killed.

I enjoy watching a marathon because I do some distance running and so I find it interesting to watch people doing the same things I do, but on a completely different level.

I imagine I would find auto racing more interesting if the cars were like the ones we drove. Say the NASCAR field hits up a few Hertz locations and rents their Chevy Impalas, and then races the hell out of them on road courses.

Armstrong stripped of all titles.

[Sheilbh]

They shouldn't replace him.  Have blank years when noone won

There really isn't any other option, is there?

[Liep]

They'll remain blank if I understood UCI correctly.

EDIT: It was Prudhomme who stated that if UCI found Armstrong guilty there'd be no replacement winner.

[sbr]

They should stay blank, no sense in giving it to another random person, who was most assuredly doping too.

I still can't picture him publicly apologizing for all this.

[Grey Fox]

I still don't care.

I still don't understand why doping is wrong while crazy bathing suits are A-Ok.

He better not. Ever.

Crazy bathing suits aren't A-Ok anymore, though.

I get where are you coming from, but given the potential health hazards of doping, and putting the onus on who has the best chemist instead of who trains harder is enough for me to draw the line.

They are still A-Ok, the London games were full of them. It's just that the Swimming governing body has decided to regulate their use instead of stocking it's head in the sands.

Fuck the health hazard, they are athletes, they chose this*. The onus hasn't been on training in decades. What's with all the specialists the athletes & teams hire.

Also, WTFAY?

*except the Chinese, of course.
