“sure is a lot of honkies in here”
I prefer crackers thank you very little.
Just got me an early season injury, which means I’ll be on the couch for a while. This in turn means I will be turning to these comments sections for much of my entertainment.
With that in mind, I’m going to have to ask y’all to start saying more entertaining things about topics that are not lame and boring.
You may commence now.
I’m off the mtb for 6 weeks. Fuck. Road, probably a month, unless I get too stir crazy and get a trainer. I guess I’ll be doing a lot of hiking and trail running, and at least there’s no cast.
…well, deetwo, i’m gonna suggest you shoud go to this site http://nakedgirlsonbicycles.tumblr.com/archive which someone previously posted & do some kinda bicycle ‘research’ so you don’t waste your time & get the wife pissed off…
…best of luck, bud…i’ll shot you an ‘e’ in a day or two…
I love the argument “Bought Championships”. The point of any sport at that level is to win. Not to come in second or give the old college try. Look at it this way if you are going to Race in F1 you show up with the best driver you can find and pay, with the best car that you can buy, not a fucking Yugo with a fat guy in the driver seat, and hope that the chips fall your way. Yeah sure the Yankees with the salary they have should win way more often, but 27 times is about 25% of all WS’s ever. So the rest of you can keep your ideals about fairness while I keep my ideals of winning.
Now I know someone is going to bring up doping to compare my argument. Not the same. Doping is like bringing a rocket powered vehicle that can teleport to a F1 race. It’s not staying with in the rules it does not apply.
ALL OF THIS BECAUSE OF A GODDAMN MUG!!!
and I’m staying away from people like Virgil, with his ideals about winning being separated from your ideals about fairness.
Can, or should these ideals ever exist in the same place at one time? I submit that they can, but if you’ve got the money honey apparently you can say, “fuck rules and fuck fairness,” right? That’s the world I wanna live in, the one where everything is available for a price. Welcome to fat city.
I remember when this was a cycling website
i don’t.
I remember when this was a cycling, booze, boobs, life, travel, and general cool shit website.
Oh, wait…it still is.
Keith I phrased that wrong. People have this misconception that a well payed team is cheating somehow. I don’t. I believe it is part of the game. Yeah Steinbrenner was a dick and a douche. I hated the way he did a lot of things. But getting mad at a team because they have the money and market to sign whoever they want is stupid. It would be similar to getting mad at Sky for all the talent they brought in or that Shleck-aggedon team. It doesn’t matter as long as the athletes are clean and that no team is competing one man short or something like that. It all comes down too you set yourself up for the best chance to win and hope that the god of bad-luck and shit storms avoids you and your team like the fucking plague.
And so this goes back to what is was supposed to be about mmmmmm Whiskey, mmmm boobs, mmmm Whiskey Boobs?
I hear ya Virgil, I didn’t think you were really advocating for total separation of those two values systems, but I had to attach a name and, well, you said it, man.
I agree with you when it comes to pro sports because at their core they’re businesses. There’s always gonna be problems when two values systems conflict. All pro sports have to reconcile a profit driven business model with the values most often associated with fair play in those sports, and those who aren’t standing at the top of the podium almost always have some negative shit to say about not only the champ but also the structure/rules of the game. This could be sour grapes or it could be a valid point about an unfair system.
I’m more concerned about preserving honesty and gamesmanship in youth/amateur sports because the participants are not making a living by participating, so if they are cheats or just shitty participants in their sport that means when they go back to work at their job, whatever it may be, they probably have the same shitty values there too.
