Yes, we know. McBournie already gave you his opinion on this yesterday, and now I’m here for mine. And my opion on the whole Lance Armstrong getting dropped from Nike, banned from cycling amid all these allegations is this: I don’t care.
Cycling is about as boring as it gets when it comes to sports. A bunch of dudes wearing tights pushing a couple wheels around doesn’t get anyone really going. It never did, until Armstrong came back from being almost dead and won seven Tour de France titles in a row. And guess what? No one has given a crap about the sport ever since.
Cycling shouls worshiping the ground this man’s cancer beating feet walk on. He elevated an entire sport, made the greatest cameo of the modern era and made you start wearing a cancer research bracelet. And even if the allegations are true, it makes no difference to me. He won that silly little French race seven times, and in my mind that’s never gonna change.
Top five games you can bet on this week:
5. Atlanta Falcons (+1) over Philadelphia Eagles
Mike Vick well be unemployed by the end of the game.
4. New York Giants (-1) over Dallas Cowboys
Revenge game, and for some reason the G-Men are better on the road.
3. Oakland Raiders (+1) over Kansas City Chiefs
Makes you wonder how a Brady Quinn led team is favored.
2. Green Bay Packers (pick ’em) over Jacksonville Jaguars
Who ever opened the line on this one needs to be fired.
1. San Diego Chargers (-1) over Cleveland Browns
You lock it up.
This week: 3-2
The season: 13-16-1

5. Chicago Bears (5-1)
You don’t hold Detroit to too many offensive performances like that one.
4. San Francisco 49ers (5-2)
Ugly win, gritty team.
3. New York Giants (5-2)
This team is getting better every week, and Elisha Manning is the most clutch NFL qb, period.
2. Houston Texans (6-1)
It’s not revenge, but they exposed a supposed Super Bowl contender.
1. Atlanta Falcons (6-0)
Five consecutive weeks without a Michael Turner DUI!
