The New American Hero
...............To the general public, American cycling had Lance Armstrong, it had Tyler Hamilton of Marblehead, Mass., and it had ... it had ... well, somebody else must do this, right? Landis' victory is the stuff of which movies are made, a Seabiscuit on wheels. I'm happy for Tiger Woods, too, another classy champion across the pond, as they say. But Tiger, you're an oldie but goodie in the headline department. Been there, won that. Floyd, this day is yours. Landis appears to be everything an American star on the global stage should be. He's hard-working, respectful and humble, but also kind of fun. Even the French like this guy. ................. http://www.masslive.com/chimelis/rep...631.xml&coll=1 |

Last year it was said that cycling in the US would diminish with Armstrong's retirement. I think Floyd may have just prevented that from happening. |

Armstrong may have been an inspirational story, but at least people can relate to Floyd. He's an 'aw, shucks', kind of guy, who eats hamburgers and drinks beer. Sounds like the kind of guy you'd like to hang out with. Scott |

What the French had done in just one year in Verdun, your Robocop cann't do in one year The anti-racism/nationalism/whateverexemplar is now bragging about how many Germans his country killed.
