A regular liar lies all the time.
Floyd could say "The sun rises in the east."
and still be misleading. When you cannot
trust someone, you cannot trust them.
How do you know that what they say is

At 5:25, Phil says Landis gets off his bike like he's ready to deliver the

When I said "heart warming reunion..." I wasn't thinking of a porn
movie. It's a fun thought, but I doubt there's any money in a movie with
those 3.

If he did send these emails, why the fuck couldn't he wait until July so
rbr could get a double hits from his emails and the inevitable doping

Actually, they don't. I have two pedelecs and they are silent. Bafang
and Tonqin are silent consumer brands, I'm sure someone can make
something more sophisticated.

The way the news portrayed that on National TV news, it just made you think
of a bad omen. First he was saying we like our point of view or the way we
see it rather then the way Floyd sees it. That sort of sounded like our
lawyers are better then his lawyers. That was before the crash, and then
they show Lance after the crash, like say what? What were you saying?

Of course the news love to do shit like that, makes everyone think he's full
of crap like that's what you get for being cocky about it. I always wanted
to look and marvel at the science of Lance as a refreshing diversion from
all the doping scandals. If this thing heats up, we could get to a new
really smelly low in cycling. Oh well, that will give rbr and Lafferty some
new material to fuel the fires.

Mark, you are 100% wrong. The player is investing his own money, he
isn't being gifted the stock options, he has to buy them just like you
or I would. Being a company employee give you access to better deals
than the general public. It is also a risk. i know people who worked
20 years for companies and had a lot of money in stock options that
were worthless when they retired becuase the companies stock had
tanked so it's not even a sure thing.

He's being gifted a discount, Glenn. It would be illegal if he was an
NCAA athlete. The NFL can (and I'm sure HAS) made it illegal too.

Mark, you really have no idea what your talking about. I can introduce
you to about 5 different people who work for public companies and were
given exactly what you are saying is not allowed and it is no secret
they get these deals, the whole company knows it. Hell, a cashier at
Wal Mart can get a similar deal.

stock options aside, just being in NYC brings personal marketing/endorsement

Well, then apparently 32 teams in the league also don't know what
they're talking about. Usenet brilliance hasn't been translated into

Mark, Woody owns a public company just as Dolan does. Woody can do
what cablevision did. He can buy the Jets through Johnson and Johnson
just as Cablevision bought MSG among other things like Blockbuster and
Radio City and then spin them off as a separately traded companies.
There is nothing illegal about any of this. If there is another owner
who owns a public company he can do the same thing but Woody is the
only one I know of, that's why not every team can do this. Maybe
Snyder can do it, not sure where he made his money.

First off an NCAA player can't even work in a grocery store let alone
get stock options so there is no argument there. What rule or
regulation does a player break when he is buying stock options that
are offered to him in the same manner as they are offered to thousands
of people that work for public companies.
Please be specific.
And bte, the NBA cap is far more complex the the NFL one so if it
works there I am pretty sure it works in the NFL.

Then please explain to me why there hasn't been a single team in the NFL
that has offered players stock options to circumvent the salary cap.

I'll tell you why. Because it's against the rules.

Stock options = salary. From the CBA, salary includes "compensation in
money, property, investments, loans or anything else of value to which
an NFL player may be awarded."

It's because there are no NFL teams except the Packers that are public
and if they were offered stock options it is a private matter or do
you think a player needs to tell the public about his investment
portfolio. For all we know Packer players are offered options, it just
is not in a contract and doesn't have to be because it is a personnel
matter if he buys them. What you are thinking of is when a company
hires a new CEO or CFO and part of his compensation is company stock
as an incentive for him to do a good job. Keep the margins fat and you
get a lot of money but make a lot of bad decisions and those options
are not worth the paper they are written on.
Also what you quoted doesn't address what I am speaking of. I am
talking about a player investing his own money, what you are talking
about is being awarded to the player. Awarded is the key word here, I
am talking about buying.Why is this so difficult for you to grasp?

Glenn, the CBA is clear. I don't know why you're having trouble with
this. Salary is defined broadly. Stock options, or ANYTHING else of
"value to which an NFL player may be awarded", counts against the cap.

AWARDED MARK, THAT IS THE KEY HERE. THE OPTIONS I SPEAK OF ARE NOT
AWARDED THEY ARE PURCHASED.

Hopefully, this will work itself out, but one of the biggest head-scratchers of the
offseason - - letting Feely go - - may be biting us. I never understood the move, without
a competent replacement.

A bunch of stories tonite about Folk. Here's Cimini...

"It's too soon to say the Jets have a kicking crisis, but Rex Ryan admitted he's
concerned. Former Cowboys PK Nick Folk, whom they're counting on to replace Jay Feely
(Cards), was brutal. At one point, he missed three straight from about 40 yards. Said
Ryan: "Yeah, it concerns me. We'd all feel a lot better if they decided to make a few."
Folk, of course, was run out of Dallas last season because he imploded late in the season.
That Feely decision could backfire on the Jets in a big way."

Give Floyd a break. He's got all these lawyer bills from back when he
was claiming that he did not dope, he he need the proceeds from
writing a book where he claims he doped with LA.

Tabloid magazines have paid significant sums of money for stories with less
"leg" than this one. Floyd isn't going about it quite the right way to
maximize monetary value, but I just figues that's Floyd being Floyd. The
same guy who didn't have a problem at his hearings when he overheard his
good friend making that sick fake call to LeMond.

I have to believe there's some big $$$ and fame to the writer who brings
down the Lance empire, if Floyd's allegations are true. My own opinion is
that Floyd is extrapolating an awful lot. If organized doping was/is going
on, I think it likely that someone as smart as Bruyneel would make sure guys
like Floyd were "marginalized" in terms of their knowledge of the big
picture.

But again, where is David Walsh??? Greg LeMond may be laying low for awhile,
perhaps finally taking advice from his attorneys.

Or he was lying then and now. But seriously, we know he was lying then,
right? The question is how much of what he's saying now is the truth and
how much is lashing out or attention seeking.

But I must admit, I really don't care. It's just a bicycle race.

There's money to be made in a heart warming reunion between Greg and
Floyd. Or a cage match.

Rollerball. No substitutions. No penalties. Televised live from Las Vegas.
It would be a shame to destroy another indoor wood track like they did in
the movie, but think of the ratings! Think of the betting. It might finally
make cycling a well-known sport.

We don't even have to suspend penalties. Just have McQuaid serve as referee.

I have a problem with the story. It just sounds like some bullshit
gossip that somebody heard from a friend about some guy at some race
somewhere and it has spun out into a "story" with no pictures no
interviews etc...Just like the levitating magnetic bearings that Lance
was going to use in the Tour in 2003.

If a news organization is going to publish something give me some
information. In what race did it occur? Did the other riders notice
something strange about the bike or the rider? This sounds like
bullshit. I don't have a problem with the plausability but do you
really think this will go unnoticed in the pro peloton? And if some
jagoff is doing this in an amateur race is he trying to get a
contract? I mean seriously this whole thing is fucking lame.

Dumbass,

The hematocrit testing started the season after Indurain retired.
Riis became Mr 60% during Indurain's last Tour.

==================
I think Trek dealers by and large are still at LA's tit and will have
his back no matter what comes out. They are promoting these bikes as
having something special in them and getting a premium from the
community of Freds who buy the hype. Here's a quote from Trek: "Nine
Tour de France Wins. Greatness is built into our DNA...Read on and see
why we believe it must be the bike."

Treks has as much to do with winning the Tour as orange juice (no the
real kind). I think dealers should refund the Freds a percentage of
the sales price they added in for the "Tour de France DNA" bullshit
now that the door to the dope fridge is open.

You're Welcome,
DA74
==================

I don't think that's true anymore; I think Lance's affect on bicycle sales
is more wide-spread than it is limited to just Trek dealers. In fact, to
some extent the $$$ paid to Lance and his two teams (don't forget the U23
guys) is seen as a "tax" on Trek dealers that no longer gives us that much
of an advantage over the other brands. It's been great in terms of
motivating engineers to build better product, no question about that, and in
general it's given the company a strong focus. But even when the Tur de
France, domestically, was all about Lance, all the time, other dealers saw
their road bike sales rise as well. The overall awareness of cycling,
specifically road cycling, has benefitted greatly.

I apologize for introducing a bit of the real world in RBR. I'd be lying to
say it won't happen again.

At what ratio of lead group to chase group
does it stop being a break away and becomes
a bitch slapping?

Sometimes long breaks get away in bad weather, but this?
Are the riders keeping omerta? Nobody is talking.

In order to be able to recognize sarcasm, you will need
to hear a lot of sarcastic comments, and to pay close
attention to the nuances that make an otherwise simple
comment into a sarcastic sting. To do this, you will
need regular access to one person who is a natural at
being sarcastic. The easiest place to start would be
the people you already know. Although it is unlikely
that you will have a friend or acquaintance who is
clever enough to be sarcastic -- being that you are not
sarcastic yourself*--it is still worth evaluating your
friends.

*As previously discussed, though you may not be
dim-witted, it is highly likely that you do not have
the requisite intelligence, wit, or cleverness to
attract members of the intelligentsia as friends or
acquaintances.

Wellll, a sarcastic remark is typically ironic to hide
the scorn from its object(s), while amusing the other
audience.
