TdF-lose Sheryl Crow!

**Biking Kitsune** · 07-09-2004, 09:21 AM

My husband and I are in the same boat- it is pretty nice to only have to look out for ourselves... and we're pretty happy with having the cats be our only 'children'. That said, we still sometimes make 'deals' with each other to buy big things ('big' being my paycheck and then some of his, or vice versa) but it's SO much easier to do.

Monique:

We used to dream of a life like yours...but then got so busy with the kids we didn't even have the time to dream it anymore!
My kids are older now, and life has become so much easier on us both...except for the money stuff, the kids still eat that right up...
but the best part is hearing my son's changing voice yell..."Hey Mom, let's go riding".

The interview I read quotes him as saying that the kids are unaffected. I suppose that it really means that he has no idea what his kids are going through. I know that divorce may be the best, but it absolutely affects the kids. yeah, he's just so shallow. But an excellent rider. Maybe that's how you become the best - by just focusing on one part of life and neglecting the rest. So shallow Sheryl would be a good match. But i'm not interested in her opinions on bike issues. Interview Robin Williams, also his friend.

I definitely think that, to be a pro athlete at that level, something has to give. You can't have time for a balanced life.

Hey- I rarely email TV shows- but I'll tell ya- sign me up on this one.
I used to really like her too- but I think she's so vacuous now.
Ick!
Yeah , of course she's gonna say "Oh I don't worry, Lance and the Team is so strong blahblahblah...oh...<head toss> look- I think I broke a nail..."

What else do you think he'd tell her.Or that she'd say...
Although it *would* be more interesting if she said- well, Lance thinks that George is out to win the stage and the glory for himself. AND Lance says Ullrich sucks big rocks, and Tyler Hamilton doesn'[t wash his shorts often enough...and I think the French stink, they need to wear more deodorant...
HELL yeah - that's be awesome.

But no, she'll just parrot the little positivo inane blurbs that don't mean anything.

OLN - get rid of her!
double ick.

Kimba
A little goes a long way....

and of course I could say something about "Lance eating crow..."
but I won't.
<snick>

**Dogmama** · 07-10-2004, 04:45 PM

Most excellent!

On OLN last night, they said Lance won't go to the Olympics because he wants to be with his kids. Time will tell.

In his interview Tour-de-House-in-Spain he said how smart Sheryl Crow is because she can work all of her electronic equipment. I'm yelling at the TV "It's her JOB you MORON!"

....goes off mumbling in a corner....

I dunno ... musicians amaze me. And hey, are you impressed by Lance? Because, you know, cycling is his job, so what's the big, right?

I just took it as the typical talk of someone who's still smitten and finds everything about their s.o. incredible. As such, I thought it was cute.

**jobob** · 07-10-2004, 05:11 PM

Hee, I'll take Sheryl over Al Trautwig any day. His commentary is like nails on a blackboard to me.

**snapdragen** · 07-10-2004, 06:45 PM

Did you catch Bob Roll telling him that the riders have special catheters, and their cycling suits have special evaporation fields, so they never have to take bathroom breaks? I can't decide if Al T. believed him or not...

Or when BR told him that the cycling computers have videos on them "because it can get boring in the peloton". Al's response - Ah the digital age...

Can you provide a link? i went to the RW site and couldn't find anything obvious, even with "kristin armstong" in the search function...

thx

**kpc** · 07-11-2004, 02:36 PM

I'm sorry, I'm not a computer person. I can tell you it's in the magazine, August issue, Women's Pages, and the article is called "The Next Big Step." It's actually focused on her running program and the byline is Kristin Armstrong. She hardly even mentoins Lance. Not sure how to hyperlink, hope this helps. Kathy

I agree with the ditch the Sheryl croud...even my husband said so! And the way the guys interviewing her are awestruck it's sickening!

As for his kids, I agree they get the worst of it. And respect should be shown there.

I have kids and my husband just got a road bike for father's day. His choice. It's a great outlet that we do together and our kids are wanting to ride their bikes more often. It might just become a family sport. My daughters are 6, 9, and 12. The 6 year old has a bike connected to my bike and she pedals too. It's great and it gets us all together and all in shape.

have a good ride!

**ChainsOflove** · 07-13-2004, 09:47 AM

I haven't seen the S. Crow thing, but agreed she is disgusting.
I do not believe they have not been together much longer than he says. I don't think he'd have someone he doesn't really know with him in training.

Another cycle couple:

Kimberley Bruckner t-mobile
Chris Baldwin - Navagators

**Adventure Girl** · 07-13-2004, 11:48 AM

I'll throw in a mountain biking mixed marriage couple. Tinker Juarez (Cannondale mountain biker) was married to Jimena Florit (RLX mountain and road biker), but they divorced.
