CB was on the bbc yesterday. Seems a lot of amerikun journos are much more frank whenst talking to folks who are (virtually, at least) across the pond.
One of my faves too, along with “Excitable Boy.” And the shit is only starting to hit the fan. Nike has thrown Big Tex over the side and RatShack may have done likewise; the Times of London may sue to recover a payout over a 2004 article; SCA Promotions is likely to want its $7.5 million bonus back; who knows how many other shoes are out there waiting to be dropped.
Yeah… A few of us in a private email chain figure that the Sunday Time & SCA Promotions re-claw will turn out to be in $20 million range given interest and legal fees.
$20 million here, $20 million there, and before you know it you’re talking about some real money for a guy whose 2010 income was estimated at $21 million. It’s gonna be a long slog, watching the zopilotes pick the tidbits off this carcass.
Where’s the cartoon showing the rats jumping off the SS BigTex? They stick around as long as the incoming cashflow is good, but as soon as it appears that may be negatively impacted – they’re outta there! Will that Wisconsin bike company be next? While I wish no ill on the cancer foundation, it would kind of be karma to see BigTex sued back down to the white-trash punk he was before his sociopathic and fraudulent behavior began. The only ones I truly feel sorry for in this is his poor kids…imagine having a Dad like that.
I don’t know about anyone else here, but if TCWSNBN had just fessed’ up along with all the others, I’d not be so sour on the guy. The rottenness was bigger than one man and it pre-dated his glory years.
Rather than stubbornly expecting the Red Army to retreat back to Moscow, Tex should have helped clean up the mess. Sorry, Tex, but Steiner ain’t going to mount no counterattack. Someone needs to make a Lance version of this one:
Meanwhile, yeah, an early copout might’ve saved at least some of his bacon, but Big Tex just doesn’t have it in him.
Me, I wonder how far he might have gone racing clean. Dude sure had the drive, the focus and the work ethic. The one thing we always forget is that no matter how much shit you’re on, you still have to do the training and racing.
As Lewis Black noted on “The Daily Show” of Big Tex’s decision not to go to arbitration with USADA (NSFW): “You win a 2,000-mile bike race seven years in a row and going to court once a month is too much work?”
Toss your yellow bracelet

They more than lied (maybe)

I bet Big Tex, aka He Who Must Not Be Named is singing this:
One of my favorite songs. Me suspects that TCWSNBN has probably gone through a lot of his lawyers and money. Guns might be inappropriate here.

Would Mr. Trek Please Come To The Yellow Courtesy Phone? Mr. Trek to the yellow courtesy phone…

I would think that this is a better Warren song for TCWSNBN today, tomorrow and next decade:
He will now have time to play golf in the afternoon…
Dude told Hamilton that he slept well at night. Well, I’m not losing any sleep wondering about that.

Seems appropriate, so here’s a link.

There is a Lance-triathlon version. …

Ok, in the context of butt-chugging and donkey sex, I guess doping ain’t so bad….
We did get to meet The Last Honest Man In America. … Hee haww whee haww hee hawheehawheehawwwwww.
Lewis Black: why aren’t we all doping? I get winded lighting a cigarette!
“…buyer’s remorse???”
This is almost NSFW material
