I feel the need to comment on the new developments in the Floyd Landis cycling debacle. It is absolutely amazing how far people will go to push a lie down the hill and around the corner. Like my momma always said, what's done in the dark will always come to light. Things are starting to unravel here, and I don't know whether to shake my head sadly or laugh out loud. It is still unknown as to whether or not Landis' "B" sample is positive or negative..we all know what will happen if it turns out positive. This new development attempts to expose Landis and his business partners as hypocritical fibbers chasing the glory and the money. And this can't be good for his trying to prove that he was not drugged when he won the Tour de France. I feel really bad for Landis' friend who was blackmailed because (a) Landis' lawyer actually fessed up to the blackmail, and (b) the secret of the man's childhood molestation that he tried to keep under wraps is now out all over the news. And Floyd can't say a thing. What goes through a man's head when he's sitting there, silently watching his "truth" blow a short? I know he left that courtroom with his lawyer and cussed him up and down. All I can say is, I'm following this story closely. Just give me a large pepperoni and sausage, and an orange soda, and you've got me for the long haul. I'm rooting for you, Pepperoni Floyd, just for "benefit of the doubt" purposes. This is suspenseful...I never knew cycling could be so exciting. Well, beyond the occurrences when people fall off their bikes, or crash and knock over 20 other folks and I fall out laughing. That's just my cruel sense of humor...sorry.
And one more thing: What's up with the mention of Landis wearing a black tie? Is it to cleverly parallel mentions of "blackmail?" Black tie, blackmail...MSN editors are so smart...

I guess the whole thing is a "black tie affair"...Ha! I guess that makes me smart, too...
