To all my cycling and non-cycling friends (99.9% of you are the latter), the rumors are true, Lance Armstrong has confirmed he will race in 2009!!!!! This is great for so many reasons, but I'll touch on a few:
1) The average american will once again tune back into the most beautiful sport in the world. That's right, cycling is more beautiful than soccer(futbol). It desparately needs a big name again.
2) He is not taking any salary or bonuses. Last time I did that I was unemployed. And despite what my last boss said, I'm not unhireable.
2) I can quit hearing about boring pro basketball in May and June. Let's shorten the season already.
3) He's always dating some honey who is way out of my league, so maybe I can start dating girls way out of my league.
4) If at 37 he can start competing again, I can get off my skinny-fat ars and try to work off the massive love handles that have accumulated while shoving mexican food down my throat 5 times a week.
Obviously the naysayers (Is this an actual word?) will say that if he doesn't win, it will prove that he was doping. That's just a bunch of new age hooey. He will inspire many other people to do the same and to prove that age is just a number.
I have met him one time at his bar in Austin. Couldn't have been a nicer guy. I'll be rooting for him all the way.
Do I have a man crush on him? You bet your ass I do. Go Lance.
