I Hate Lance a Lot

Okay, I know this is unAustin. Unamerican even. And, this will probably make me very unpopular. I'm so sick and tired of hearing about Lance Armstrong I could scream.

I thought to myself, "Thank goodness he's not in the Tour de France this year. I won't have to listen to the press go on and on and on."

Then, last week Lance was over in France. And I was so wrong. The news had to report about it. Oh, spare me, please. Then Lance has to explain that his line about the French World Cup soccer team testing positive “for being assholes” was a joke in a monologue, however weak. Who even heard him say that? Who even cares?

Now don't get me wrong. I admire what Lance has accomplished. But, please. Enough already about him, and about him and Sheryl Crow, and about him, and about his using/not using drugs, and about him.

And, he's so damn smug. When you look at him you just think, "This guy has asshole written all over him." You know what I mean? A little humility could go a long way for this guy.

I mentioned to a friend how much I hate Lance. And, that I really shouldn't even say this aloud. She just laughed and asked me to join the I Hate Lance a Lot Club she and some of her other friends had started. With any luck, maybe it's not too late for me to be a charter member.

That's absolutely ridiculous. Of course Lance Armstrong is smug; he's the best in his sport. He's won seven times in a row, and he did this after beating cancer.

His line about the french soccer team came from when he hosted the ESPYs; it was pretty funny.

By the way, an American won the Tour de France, again. Take that France; no one likes you anyway!
