Can you read this with a straight face?

Heh.
"The ingredients were there for the floor to cave in on Astana if such rivalry got out of hand, and it fell to Bruyneel (and a highly mature Armstrong) to accept the law of the peloton and make sure the strongest man won, and won for Astana."

Penguins or Red Wings?

It's very late here, trying to stay awake until the game is over....

Red Wings looked to be in control, Penguins did a great job evening the final. So today (tonight) is the last dance, place your bets ladies and gents.

Red Wings have the home advantage, so I'll say Penguins will win.

Enough words? No, I thought so too. Let's try again. and again. and again. once mooore.
