Lance Armstrong Is Not A Fan of Tony Kornheiser's Bicycle Humor

If you want to listen to Kornheiser’s idiotic rant and see what has Lance upset, it is on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7wnBoWOfAU&feature=youtube_gdata

  this is just tony being tony,  he’s not funny at all and sooner or later espn is gonna realize that theyve hired a moron!! 

Kornheiser is a total MORON.
These kinds of comments in the mind of the mentally unbalanced is a dangerous situation.
Too many bicyclists lose their lives to drivers needlessly.
Many are actually run down or hit with objects simply because the guy in the car thinks he owns the road.

It is already a very dangerous situation, Kornnut doesn’t help.
Sad thing is someone may lose their life because of his comment and he will never know.

"Idiotic", "bloof-doping cheaters", "moron", and "mentally unbalanced". A lot of strong language in regard to a strange rift between a sportswriter who uses insults to make a point and a proffesional cyclist who comes off as a bit thin skinned in this instance.

I’m a cyclist, which means nothing. However, both drivers and cyclists need to be more responsible. Airport signs that allow for drivers to justify missing bikes because they can "become" invisible are unhelpful. LOOK ****it! Left then right, they’re there. Cyclists who ride on busy shoulder-less roadways three in paralell adjacent to an empty bike path are just as unhelpful.

The glass house crews are busy in this kerfuffle. Tonk K’s harmless. Not mostly, entirely. And Lance has proven a champion and taken thousands of tests for doping. ALL passed. He took this a little hard. He’s mostly a celebrity now and celebrities tend to get twisted over the dumbest little things.

While Kornheiser may be an idiot, this is also why some people need to stay off Twitter.  Do we need America’s greatest cyclist referring to Kornheiser as an "f-ing idiot" when that’s clear to anyone who heard the clip, or referring to ESPN980 as "douchebags"?  You always dominated in the mountain stages, Lance – shoulda taken the high road on this one.

speaking of douchebags:  guys who let their wives help them through cancer treatment, then dump them for a younger model when they get famous.  cheryl crow, anyone?

I see nothing wrong with his comments….i thought they were pretty funny and i agree with him. i also saw nothing wrong with his comments about Storm’s dress comments either.Its just another thing for this way to over politically correct country to bitch about nothing big….if you dont liek something turn it and dont listen to it.I enjoy Tony K………and i also agree with EINSTEINRIG’S Douche bag comment..Lance is a bigger douche then Tony ever will be for what he did…Keep up the good work Tony K….F Lance and the PC douche bags

anyone who has listend to Kornheiser on the radio over the last twenty years, knows that his signature sign off is "as always if you do go out on your bikes tonight do wear white"  Tony Kornheiser is a father of course he’s also a comedian folks. take a joke sheesh

Lance has always been a bit thin skinned.  Cyclists can be a bit sensitive to this subject though due to all the cyclists that have been killed by cars.  The Laws of Physics don’t play favorites.

Of course people would run over cyclists if it were legal. Who wouldn’t?

@einsteinrig:

Armstrong met his ex-wife at a chrity event after finishing chemo therapy for his testicular cancer!!

Sheryl Crow: a younger model? Huh?

Sheryl Crow is 10-11 years older than Armstrong.

I live in Austin and have heard a different versions as to why he and his wife split. However, dumping Kristin for Cheryl Crow wasn’t one of them!

wow.  who cares?

Get tougher skin. I am a minister. If I got angry everytime someone did a stupid joke about Christians, religion, or ministers  that offended me I would stay mad all the time.  Consider the source and has already been said turn it off and don’t listen.  There is a line to be crossed but I am not sure where  it is.

As always, the person that is dumber then Tony is the guy that hire him. I am with Lance on this one and against all those that don’t think this is a big deal.  That is why America is going down hill fast. If you don’t get it, then pray for wisdom. You need it.

People
need to understand this is actually a big problem.

Bicyclists are dying
because idiots in cars think bikes don’t belong on the road.

It is one thing to
have some clown throw a cup of soda at a bike, it’s criminal when a
passing car throws a can of soda.

It happens more
often than you think.

The number of people
run down by cars might surprise you.

The last thing
bikers need is for some cerebrally challenged idiot with a HUGE
audience to suggest killing them.

There are more crazy
people out there than you realize.

It is a joke.  Get over it, and if you can’t do that go for a nice bike ride to cool off… or run over.  By the way craterlake try reading the article first, he said don’t kill them and ther is no way this guy has a HUGE audience.

At least he didn’t make fun of Lance getting with one of the Olsen twins.  He should be tapped off the road just for that.

I agree totally with post #17. This was a joke, made by a guy that has millions of listeners, and who has been saying similar things for a long, long time. This "contorversy" is actually good for Tony K, who will now see his listenership increase by people who will be waiting to see what he says next.

I repect Lance Armstrong for overcoming a fatal disease and then going out and dominating his sport. However, he is not the warmest individual I have ever run across. He is wired pretty tight and seems to be a little touchy.

CraterLake, I sympathize with the cyclist’s plight. But ya’ll DON’T belong on the road in my opinion.Go the biking trail at the local park, and stay out our way!

It has nothing to do with people not thinking bicycles belong on the
road. Cars crash into other cars because the driver didn’t see the other car every day but cyclists expect to never get hit when they’re super small compared to a car and therefore harder to notice.

If you don’t want to die because objects with large mass always win then don’t ride a bike on the road.

You don’t "tap" a bike with a car and not kill a few.
Korn does have a huge audience, believe it or not.

Pablo
I am ashamed of you.
You are usually a little smarter.
People ARE dying because of drivers who believe like you do.
I can’t ride a bike anymore I lose the circulation, but it is the way my son gets around.
Eugene has one of the best bike trail and bike lane systems in America.
People will go out of their way to run a bike off the road.

People ARE DYING — Is that really funny.

One would think that nobody is going to go out and run cyclists off the road just because some ESPN guy says to do it. They’ll actually do it all on their own. Years ago I used to do extensive bike riding as a part of my workouts and I’d ride on roads with very sizeable shoulders. Still people would swerve close to me to try to scare me. It worked because I decided not to bike ride after too many of those incidents. Hard to believe but it’s true that people do those sorts of things.

einsteinrig hit it spot on. Lance "no balls" is able to screw around on his wife, yet when someone "screws" around with him , he gets his panties in a bunch. Boo…hoo…

I love busting on Kornballheiser cause he’s so on Brett Favre’s jock, but seriously, the guy and Wilbon have made many people lives (including my own) better for doing PTI. Armstrong is a spotlight-loving douche.

who gives a s—t? riding a bike on a road is dangerous, deal with it.

This spat between Tony and Lance — two guys I GREATLY admire — to sit down and do a show on CYCLING SAFETY … grow and and DO IT … both of you!  Tony’s an outstanding journalist who’s also very funny … most of the time … and such a show they might do TOGETHER could highlight all the important things CYCLISTS need to learn … like stop punching red lights with impunity … and that motorists know that cyclists are vehicles too with a right to the lane they are in … ALL THAT make life on the road safer for ALL cyclists — AND give more of us the courage to get OUT of our cars … and perhaps BIKE to work once in a while, for instance!

As to Hannah Storm … she unimpressed me from the first moments some fool put her on the air at NBC years ago … she constantly smirked her way through even the most serious or even tragic of stories she would do … then she thankfully disappeared for a while … only to re-emerge … like its hiring of Rush Limbaugh … as Disney-ABC-ESPN puts her BACK on the air … her recent appearance on the Sports Reporters was completely embarrassing … hopely Mr. Saunders will disinvite her from any future appearances.

Livestrong everyone!

i got hit by a buick while riding a motorcycle. drivers just don’t know how to drive sometimes. the smaller you appear in their line of vision the easier target you become. not everybody’s out there looking to hurt cyclist and the few that may probably wouldn’t listen to a Kornheiser show

For myself I’m very not a fan of Lance Amstrong.. he’s such a liar… or that’s what appear… scrabble word finder

You know all people know about Lance Amstrong and i really like his style.

I was actually listeing to the  March 11th’s episode of the Tony Kornheiser show live and to be honest, I dont know why people get all bent out o shape by what this guy says, he is basically an entertainer looking to stir things up which I guess he does achieve.
