About

I'm not a cyclist, but I play one on TV. Actually, I play one on the weekends when I dress up in sissy, multi-colored spandex and pretend to be a racer. I used to race. Well, let me say I entered bike races. Some may argue that my performance could not be construed as 'racing' so much as 'hanging on for dear life,' 'wheel-sucking,' and 'vomitting.' Regardless, I paid for a license and wore a number, so I raced, dammit! I also like writing, and know just enough about the sport to be dangerously opinionated. Approach with caution.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Lance Armstrong, Bernard Hinault, Eddy Merckx, Niki Lauda, Pele, Dave Casper

    Bruyneel (technically Directeur Sportif), Madden, Flores, Chuckie

  • All Time Sports Moment

    "The look" in the 2001 TdF...Armstrong assessing the opposition before putting the hammer down and burying them all. That, and Mike Davis' interception in the end zone against the Cleveland Browns in the 1980 playoffs.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Seven Tour de France victories. Oh, and that's seven in a row, too. With one testicle. All after being given a 50% chance of surviving cancer. Top that.

  • Petty or Earnhardt?

    You're kidding about this, right? Really?!? Driving a car in ovals is a sport?!? No wonder other intelligent life in the universe avoids us. Next, you're going to tell me that knocking down pins by rolling a heavy ball is... Oh, wait a minute.
