Here comes Lance Armstrong again.


He has been riding and recently finished a 100 mile off road race- he came in second place! He gassed at the end but was able to stay with the winner for most of the distance.

LA is another one of the "retired" athletes that retire, come back, think about retiring again, then come back.

As much as I love the stories, there gets to be the time where I really don't care about them anymore.

Like the Michael Phelps thing- First he says he won't race in 2012 then changes his mind. Could it be that four more years of being paid for training had a little to do with his decision?

Another thing that I have to laugh about is the press release about his donation of his one million dollar bonus to charity. Take some of your time and instead of showing up at some stupid award show- go clean an inner city pool, teach a swimming class, go talk to kids about how you got to the point where you can get paid for getting waterlogged.....

Of course, now we have to put up with Phelps and his Rosetta Stone commercials, cereal box pictures and tons of kids bugging their parents to go swimming.

Brett Favre, might be the wishy washiest one of all! He thinks about retiring for the last few years, pulls the pin and expects the company/team to take him back. I know I wanted him to do it one more time but how can an athlete do that to the team and city time and time again?

Recently we saw Dara Torres swim her rock-hard rear end off to win three silver medals. WOW, now she wants to try for a 2012 London Games! I never heard her waffle about coming back.......she said she'd think about it.


I like the fact that the "little people" in sports do their thing without the fanfare of news conferences and huge statements. Last week I saw a two inch story about DT having surgery for a shoulder ailment.

She was HUGE news a month ago and now she ends up getting a few soy ink words at the back of the sports section. I wonder if she'd get the same treatment had she won all gold?
