Did it say RAPHA?!

For those of us using FIOS, we won't be able to see his fake tears in their full HD glory:

I'm going!John Malcolmson said:Who's up for going to Cannibal?
Leaving work @ 8pm - probably be there before 8.30, but if any of y'all are there earlier save me a seat!!!
Jan 17, 2013 at 05:53 PM
Yeah will try to Tito! Can't wait to hear Lance wax poetic about snitching.
Snobbles will be there as well.
Starts tonight at 8.30pm, 113 E29th btw Park and Lex. Thinking of getting there 7.30.

The picture of the pig on the website is more than tempting.
Having to not endure the interview alone is a clincher.
I'm hoping to be there also.
7:30 sounds a bit early. The interview doesn't actually start until 9.

If anyone has any Livestrong gear I'll wear it.
Jan 17, 2013 at 07:23 PM
@William Caroline and I are planning on getting some early snackage there—welcome to join! Make sure you're wearing your Rapha polo and smoking jacket though.
Jan 17, 2013 at 07:55 PM
I'll be there sipping a diet coke. Winter training beard in effect.
Jan 17, 2013 at 09:40 PM
I really wish I could be there tonight...I plan on watching from my computrainer and each time Lance sugar coats an answer, I'm doing an interval. This may be the hardest training I have ever done. Yahacks

This thread delivers!
John: what time you showing up with lovely Caroline?
Mattie: psyched that you're coming in.
Chris: pedal in indignation! Future happy hours will be built entirely around your schedule.

Yep, normally it'd be too much a pain, but some customers from the shop and the proprietor of Gypsy Donuts are driving down, easy as pie.
Jan 17, 2013 at 11:05 PM
@W We'll be there 7.30pm
Yacks you're a legend. Perhaps you video tonight's effort so you can become a youtube legend as well!

Sad interview really no? this was not the voice of redemptive man, i was hoping for something a bit more genuine and a bit more personal- it turns out this was just a PR act it seems.
Jan 18, 2013 at 06:01 PM
The thing is, I am not convinced that there is a more genuine or personal side to him. That might be all there is.
And I call bullshit on his statement that he didn't dope after he came out of retirement. What happened between his retirement and his return that made him realize what he was doing was wrong? I see no evidence to suggest that he had some kind of epiphany.
Jan 18, 2013 at 06:38 PM
His blood tests also indicate he found no drugs are wrong epiphany.

Off-topic me all you like, you jackals, but I thought this was a nice change of pace in sports coverage:
Jan 18, 2013 at 07:00 PM
Totally not off topic. That should be the headline on the NYPost not LA, Not fake girlfriend ND football player. We should be honoring people who are sporting not people who are win at all costs.Jeffrey White said:Off-topic me all you like, you jackals, but I thought this was a nice change of pace in sports coverage:

Honest people are marks and suckers...if you're not cheating, you're not trying, nice guys finish last, win at all costs...whoops my hard drive has been corrupted by the underlying reality of sports and it's effect on life and business .

An interesting comment on the relatively good NY Times article summing up the situation:

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/19/sports/cycling/amid-tears-lance-armstrong-leaves-unanswered-questions-in-oprah-winfrey-interview.html
- Jennifer Stewart
- Cape Town
That question made me wonder what Oprah's real
intention was - to be 'fair' to Armstrong or to get him to tell the
truth. But whatever her intention was, and whatever her questions were,
if Armstrong had come intending to tell the truth he would have done it.
I didn't see a remorseful man. His body was relaxed and he
spoke about himself and his actions in the third person. I don't think
he understands what remorse is. He's kind of empty in that way. Detached
from his emotions. I feel sorry for his children. What a nightmare for
them.
The barista at Mattie's bike shop thought Lance fitted the definition of a sociopath.

My summary:
Lance, "Ok, ok. My bad."
Lance, "Ok, ok. My bad."
World, "Huh?"

Perhaps anticipating this time, the late great George Carlin said it well:

I just clicked the link...and I am now positive the government has just opened a file on me.

Who are you kidding? They already have files on all of us.
