So I'm rewatching

last weekend's Pats-Bills game on NFL Replay and watching the way Maroney runs. If this guy keeps running like this - shifty, putting his head down to punish the defender before he goes down, or rather than going out of bounds...if he does this over the long haul, somebady will begin comparing him to Walter Payton. A little early for that yet - but his second run of the day he finished off like Sweetness.
This kid is going to be fun to watch.

So, as I've said before, I hope that history shows Lance Armstrong to be clean. However, the more people in the sport that come forward to talk, the less likely it looks that Armstrong was the paragon of virtue he claimed to be, and more like the vindictive cheater that Greg LeMond has said he is.
Particularly damning is the part about Frankie Andreu, Armstrong's domestique in his early tours. That, combined with the information about steroids and testicular cancer, unfortunately, has a strong ring of truth.
I think we're way beyond paraphrasing the great Bernard Malamud with, "say it ain't so Lance, say it ain't so."
