Well, Floyd Landis has finally admitted to what we all know to be true.  Landis, the disgraced cyclist bets known for being the only person to have had his Tour De France title stripped of him for use of performance-enhancing drugs, spent several years fighting the allegations only to finally give up and admit that he used performance-enhancing drugs.  While that’s good that he’s finally being honest, he’s also decided that it’s time to drag everyone else down with him, claiming without proof that Lance Armstrong is a doper, and that team managers and officials turned a blind eye to the rampant cheating in cycling’s marquee event.

Landis goes into detail about how the drugs were administered, using blood transfusions that were designed to make catching doping significantly harder.  The person he claims trained him to dope himself?  Lance Armstrong’s coach, Johan Bruyneel.  “He and I had lengthy discussions about it on our training rides during which time he also explained to me the evolution of EPO testing and how transfusions were now necessary due to the inconvenience of the new test,” claims Landis.

Do I think cyclers cheat?  Of course they do.  They’re in one of the hardest sports in the world and they need all the help they can get.  Cycle racers have always cheated, and always will cheat.  If scientists can pop pills and , why can’t cyclists dope blood?

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
