Foo - Lance in Love...

Speed star falls for cycling legend (Ain't that sweet...)

http://www.sundaymirror.co.uk/news/content_objectid=13557486_method=full_siteid=106694_headline=-SANDRA-LOVES-HER-LANCE-A-LOT-name_page.html

Couldn't happen to a nicer pair.

Three kids in five years?! No wonder his marraige broke up.

Do they all lean to the right?

Lance is already out swinging the love commando while Kristen is raising three children, how nice.

This wreaks of a tabloid publication full of $hit. But if it is correct then it is pretty sorry. At least let the dust settle before sliding into a new squeeze. Maybe Kristen will find a man who will put family first the next time around.

ack. divorce sucks. ALWAYS. honestly, i don't give a crap about lance when I read this. i'm thinkin about the kids.

I feel ya, Sam.

Seriously, he seems to make this big "I'm sorry" about how he's gotten so carried away by Hollywood, now if the publications are true, then he's totally into it- and that's probably why he couldn't handle having a normal relationship with a normal woman. And yuck! If he was involved with her when he was putting together his charity rides, that means that not only is he a schmuck for changing women faster than he changes his underwear, but Sandra is a big 'ole homewrecker too.

Two snaps down, points lost for coolness here. I seriously don't think much of Lance as a family man if this is true, although I still admire his athletic skills.

:(

I hope his ex finds a grounded man that can set a good example for her kids- I don't think Lance is doing very well in that department.

Koffee

I like Lances cycling but do not approve of his family focus or lack thereof.

There are way too many kids out there who take a back seat to careers or personal selfishness on the part of the parent.

One or two parents working to make the money it takes to live, deal with the daily barrage of BS, and raise kids have my respect. A multi millionaire who cannot settle for the family he made is a bit below the level of garbage in the respectability department.

I feel the same way .....


..... except I feel that way about judgmental people. :D

How many of us here have lived a perfect life in such that we can critcize what someone else decides to do?

How right is it for us to lay our standards on Mr. Armstrong?

By that ideal, we should all put the same effort into our health, i.e. diets, exercise, etc?

It's preferable if our role model (so to speak) would be a better image, but he is, as we are, human, and subject to the same shortcomings we all are.

It's easy to be a critic.

Where in the article does it say he abandoned the kids? It says he and his wife divorced and he is seeing someone else. So what?

This simplistice Holier Than Thou attitude that is constantly cropping up on these forums without the slightest bit of fact to back it up is demeaning to these forums. As supposed thinking persons, you should all be ashamed for jumping to conclusions that are not corrobroted.

It is unfortunate that public people cannot have a private life.

My guess is that this attitude (regarding this particular issue) comes from individuals in terrible relationships that they stuck with "for the kids". Now, whether this was actually better for the kids is debatable. However, since they decided that this route was the best route for them, they have also decided that this route is the best choice for everyone else.

They suffered, and you shouldn't get away with any other choice regardless of your circumstance.

Well that puts a positive spin on things.

My thoughts exactly.

You people are right. Lance is just human. Oh well. Twiddle de dee, twiddle de dum.

I guess this should be our attitude towards responsibility in life and carrying through with commitments we make with our spouses, children, or anyone else for that matter.

Family is and should always be top priority to all of us who have kids. The only exception to this rule is an abusive or violent atmosphere where children are exposed to foul behavior which will damage them.

I've yet to see you poo poo everyone who gets a divorce.

Sometimes people realize that things are going sour, and get a divorce prior to things getting abusive or violent.

Not everyone has our standards....

Don't like it. Tough!

Have a nice day. ;)

And I won't. There are definitely circumstances that will justify divorce. I just can't see where this is one of them. My gut tells me this is all selfish nonsense that ultimately puts three beutiful children in a back seat regardless of how "hard" daddy works to make it seem not.

But being concerned about the example set for the kids seems to be a non issue with many people.

And I won't. There are definitely circumstances that will justify divorce. I just can't see where this is one of them.

That’s a fair enough statement if applied to you, and your relationship. So let me ask the obvious question - how do you know about LA's relationship? The truth is that none of us can know what happens in anyone's relationship. Therefore, nobody has the right to question any specific couple.

You also don't have the right to apply your code of morals to others. Morality is self-chosen, and should be applied to oneself - not others. That's the simple point that seems to somehow get lost on many.
:rolleyes:

I doubt LA even knows what a real relationship is Bac. But I do care about the impression he makes on the kids. They are ultimately being put in a back seat regardless of how you justify it.

I will stop attacking your hero now. Enough has been said to express my personal feelings on this subject. But listening to you all one would think it illegal to express an opinion. Especially one of clean, sound values.

With this logic if I choose to feel that stealing is ok then it must be so.

Basically, you're calling me immorral, against free speech, and anti your feelings.
(deleted improper comments).

I think Bac is right, We dont know LA's personal life. SO they man has a divorce and he cant go to dinner with someone he likes? How much can you trust this paper that is saying this stuff too? I live in Austin and they follow LA and Sandra Bullock because they both live here, and this is the first time i have heard anything about it. I think everyone needs to chill out and let him go to dinner. I dont see how him getting with a new girl can make him a bad father in any way shape or form. Sorry just dont seem him doing anything wrong, maybe not considerate but definetly not wrong.

Basically, you're calling me immorral, against free speech, and anti your feelings.



Actually I was replying to Bac. I think you have been rather cool about the whole debate. More than me, but perhaps I let myself get carried away.

Perhaps I would receive a warmer response by saying I am just jealous that I am not the one sniffing up Sandra's skirt. Since the details of ones morality is a choice there should be nothing wrong with that.

Well, that sounds like a wierd fetish to me, but, what ever floats your boat.

I would say that Lance's ideals don't mirror mine, but I don't know what's transpired in his home life...

You are correct sir. And Bac is in the same position it seems which is fair and reasonable.

I'll just continue to be the @$$ that holds celebrities to high standards of leading by example.

Actually I was replying to Bac. I think you have been rather cool about the whole debate. More than me, but perhaps I let myself get carried away. I certainly do not think you suck William.

You know, I can often type in response faster than I can think commonsense wise.

It's just the insuation that you've left in the open. That he doesn't have decent morals, he's a "hero" to me, that in my eyes he can do no wrong, and I hold him as my model on what to become. That because I do not like your opinion of him that I somehow am anti free speech, an pro "bad morals".


I think what is tiring, to me at least, is the way we hold certain people to certain standards, yet don't practice what we preach. I never voted for Lance to be a winner, or a great cyclist, or a representative of a sport I like. So, my opinions of his morality, and etc... are just mine... but have no bearing on his acheivements as an athlete.

However, for an elected official, I would publically say why I thought he was a poor choice. An official that I vote for should be a reflection of my values, adn they represent me. I choose for them to represent me. And I choose for some not to represent me.

Ironically, being in the military, I'm not allowed to make a statement on the shortcomings of any elected official.

I do apologize for saying you suck for that. If I can delete the comment, I will.

You are absolutely right. It is much more appropriate to hold elected officials to high standards than a celebrity. I tend to hold both accountable as the celebrity is there by default of sucess rather than being placed there by constituents. And you are also right about personal responsibility in practicing what we preach. I do try my best and sometimes fail regardless.

Cheers Wiliam, and thank you for being one of our nations true hero's. A soldier. No person could be more deserving of honor than a soldier. I was once one too BTW.

But now just an ordinary civilian who likes to ride a bike.

I'm just a simple sailor, and there are many many morewho work in harder, more dangerous places than me. I'm not a hero by any standard, I'm luck that I had the Navy to go to when times were low.. and keep me clear of somethings.

I have always had a thing for Sandra Bullock.She is reported to be lots of fun and a practical joker. Life is never dull with her, so the Hollywood reportes say.
This is another case of the pro getting the girl.... She is an avid cyclist. They did the tour of Hope together?
I am glad for both and glad for cycling. Nice to meet the mate where you really share your passions with.
Don't like to be judgemental in affairs that don't concern me.. However, Lance's first wife. Was she impatient with his love of the bike and all his time in pro racing, away from home? If so, she knew that when she married him and his love of cycling saved his life and made the family a success from LA's hard scrabble upbringing. If so, I have some impatience with her. Lance only has a couple more years as a pro and she could have waited. If that is the case.
They have the money to have a nanny to wait out Lance's last years as a cycling pro..
Look forward to Sandra Bullock sporting 'Postie gear' as she rides with Lance down the streets of Paris on the way to the Podium.

I think Kristen is way better looking than Sandy Buttocks.

There's hotter than both out there. But that don't mean squat when it comes to personality.

You gotta be able to talk to someone after the first few hours.

I like what Lance does for cycling.

I also like Sandra's movies, Two Weeks Notice and Love Potion No.9.

HMMM, that means I am headed for divorce soon. My wife cannot carry on an intelligent conversatioin with me because I'm just plain dumb.

I think Kristen probably has as much if not more conversational ability than Bullock. But I'd be interested in action not talkin!

True enough, life goes on and in the big picture (I should not even say) the sport/advocacy of cycling is better off from this alleged "union" (see: CYCLEWOOD).

I imagined the two of them had plans (for a better union) beyond "the bike". Too bad they could not beat the odds.

I have to suspect that this relationship was probably going on during the marriage.

I never expected Sandra Bullock to be a homewrecker.

I am just intriqued by the special relationship when a couple shares in a common interest like cycling. And yes, I enjoy
Bullock's movies. They are cute. She is cute enough. Maybe Kristen is hotter,but so what. Looks are temporary unless you can afford a plastic surgeon but you can cycle on forever-maybe.
What bothers me about Kristen, if, if, she was tired of Lance's pro status and could not let him finish out his career for what 2 years. He is 31. Gives him the ability to haul in couple more million in endorsements.
Hopefully she loved him , when LA beat Cancer, partially with the use of the bike.For that reason,she should respect the bike. He might have given up.
Happy for Lance, that he had someone to oggle over at Restaurant 66. Life is short.
When LA showed up at the Los Angeles Bike Show,LA made himself available to cycling advocates. Local bike shop owner spoke of how personable he was.....His reputation is he is a great person. We should all appreciate how he is working for cycling in the US.

Oh please, don't be so self depreciating, I would never marry a moron.
:p
As for Sandra, I like her as an actress and a person. However, I think she is fooling herself if she thinks this relationship is going anywhere with a guy on the rebound, just hot off the divorce train. For all we know, they may just be good friends and this is a whole bunch of tabloid nonsense.

Ironically, I never see any tabloid sell in the stores I go into. I don't know how they are able to stay afloat.

What disgusts me about this whole thing is the quote that they were feeding each other. That's just sick.

Wow. Then breast feeding must just make you ill.

OK yeah, I'm jealous. Not only does he kick butt on a bike, he also is hanging out with #1 on my list. :(


If Lance and Kik couldn't work it out, they are both better off apart. The kids are better off too. It' much better to be raised in a household of love, not bitterness.

As I said above...But, if Kristen would not tolerate Lance ending his cycling career, I have no patience for her.. There are bumper stickers out, something like, "My wife says, one more dive= goodbye." "I will miss her."
He only has a couple more years to go and he has only to make his last couple million. If she can't tolerate his goal of milking a couple more sports endorsements for a couple more mil, Well, 'I will miss you.' We are sicko cyclists afterall,right?
If that is the case.
Also, I perceive Sandra Bullock to be fun and playful... If I spent several days crossing the country, doing our favorite activity together , you might get to know one another for love of sport and a match of personalities- you might be 'star struck.'
A poll,which star celebrity would you like crossing the continent with.? Just crossing Nevada, there was one such female cyclists I enjoyed spending breakfast with, talking about today's and yesterdays miles ..I am married, of course, just in conversation.
Good luck. I hope LA and SB have a match made for the Champ Des Elysees. But then , I like Bullock. I recall those silly days of infatuation, were the best days of ones lives.! When, you share something important together- it might be more than infatuation.?

Wow. Then breast feeding must just make you ill.

Huh? I was just joking about the lovey dovey stuff. I should have had an emoticon there. If you were joking too, my apologies. Sometimes I just don't get it :D
