Lance Armstrong's Next Big Confession?

So, Fucking Lance Armstrong told Oprah that his "perfect story" was "one big lie". All the media is focusing on his lies about doping, and then his lies about lying about doping. However, drug allegations weren't the only rumors about Lance during the height of his career. There was much internet speculation that perhaps the "b" should be dropped when people talked about his "bromance" with Matthew McConaughey.


The pictures of them exercising shirtless together started the stories that they were more than "work out buddies" (because everyone knows that jogging on the beach is foreplay for the gays).



There were even rumors of a big gay ménage à trois between Lance Armstrong, Matthew McConaughey, and Jake Gyllenhaal because the three of them shockingly, publicly bicycled together and were also seen together at a LIVESTRONG event.


Of course, Armstrong and McConaughey denied that they were homosexual lovers. Armstrong said they were just "buds" who took "guy trips" and it was all "something very normal"--but how can we believe that they were "just friends" given Armstrong's incredible history of lying? In short, is Lance Armstrong about to pull a Jodie Foster?

Four Truly Inspirational Sports Stories

Ugh. Fucking Lance Armstrong is all over the news today and not just the sports news and ESPN. Thanks to his Oprah interview, he's on all the news. I can't even watch E! News without seeing his lying, cheating, sorry self. On days like today, it's easy to get cynical about sports and especially the idea of sports heroes, so it's good to look at some people who demonstrate the best of what sports can be.

The most impressive football stats of 2012 were not put up by anyone in the NFL, but by little league football player, nine-year-old Samantha Gordon. In 232 carries, she rang up 1,911 yards and 35 touchdowns, and, oh yeah, she also kicks but on defense with 65 tackles for the season. Not that it really matters, but she did all this as one of the only girls in her league and the only one who played offense. Samantha's highlight reel went viral, and she got a Wheaties Box with her face on the cover. On top of all that, she gives a better interview than most adult athletes.



12-year-old Justin Kievet lost his wrestling match against classmate Jared Stevens, but his loss was the greatest display of sportsmanship in 2012.




Sport Illustrated Kids named Conner and Cayden Long "2012 SportsKids of the Year".


Not only did their story make LeBron James tear up a little--he was actually humbled to share a stage with them. James said that Conner and Cayden were not just the SportsKids of the Year, but that they were the SportsMEN of the year. Watch their beautful story:
