Jay Leno, Conan Obrien, David Letterman, or even John Stuart??

Phone call from the President? White House visit?

Pray tell, how do you know?

I think that once the public gets to know Floyd, he will have popularity that will leave LA fuming & stewing.

I don't think Lance relishes fame. I really don't. I think he'll be glad to have someone else in the spotlight.

The ITV (British) podcasters (Stage 19) have noted a panache deficit. They think that Floyd needs to become slicker with the media.

MATT: His passion is pretty deeply buried, isn't he? He is not at all comfortable with the press.

CHRIS: No. I think some of the new, eh, the newfound wealth that he just is about to come into, he maybe he wants to spend a little of it on some media training.

Please Floyd, no media training. I don't look forward to seeing Floyd become just another Nike packaged product. Everyone likes the genuine article.

You got it. We all just need him to be Floyd.

A few talk show gigs are ok. And, this guy's story is perfect for a biography. I'd be more interested in reading about Floyd than even Lance.

I find it ironic that a man who spent the first 18 years of his life without a TV is now (probably) going to be on talk shows, morning shows, sports shows, etc.
