Floyd hit it big with the media, and talked about racing, then BAM! He's being hunted down like an international crime boss. He didn't get the time to develop a comfort zone with press that is not friendly, or asks him questions he has answered a million times. Even if the answer is "I don't know". I wish he could express himself in front of those cameras the way he does in writing. But man, I wouldn't be comfortable in front of those cameras. Remember the first interview, Floyd and Amber had on CBS (I think), they looked like deer caught in the headlights. And I can't blame them a bit. But, I know, we want him to come off the best, in these interviews.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-90403303170430659372006-11-22T14:29:00.000-08:002006-11-22T14:29:00.000-08:00Brief comic interlude here.

Jeff,
Many people h...[concerning the above comment]<br />Jeff,<br />Many people have verbal "tics"; some people say "like" every few words. Some people say "you know" or "y'know what I'm sayin'". When I agree with someone, I often say "I'll bet," but that doesn't make me a gambler.<br /><br />In regards to Lance's "forceful" denials, in comparison to Floyd's: Floyd faces a much different and much more hostile public than Lance ever did. Lance faced adversity, but wasn't convicted and sentenced in the court of opinion to the degree Floyd has been.<br /><br />It's difficult to offer a "forceful" denial of guilt when the people who are actually listening probably have their minds made up already.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31819641.post-5014608387071135872006-11-22T07:05:00.000-08:002006-11-22T07:05:00.000-08:00On Real Sports last night, the last thing that was...On Real Sports last night, the last thing that was said that was if Floyd loses this battle, he's retiring from cycling and going on with his life.<br /><br />Found that interesting.<br /><br />The worst thing that he says is when he starts a sentence off with, "I'll say....". It makes it seem as if he is saying something that is not true. "I'll say I haven't been pressured to take drugs" It makes it seem like he has, but is covering for someone. <br /><br />It's one major difference between him and Lance. Lance has always been vehemently denying PED use. He is forceful to a fault about it. When you compare this with Floyd's comment's - it makes it seem as if Floyd is being very wishy washy....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
