Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

That zinger at Jake G. about "liking it in the rear" was great. Caught everybody off guard.

L.A. seemed pretty relaxed. I know that there were tons of rehearsals for the show.

All in all, he did a great job for not being a professional actor - I doubt if another athlete could have done any better except maybe for John Kruk...

I thought it was funny as hell... I didn't see everything other than some highlights.. he seemed to do just fine.

I agree with you, I don't think Lance wasn't bad at the ESPYs.

I don't think he was bad, but he was far from great. I don't quite see why ESPN picked him to host, I think a comedian would've been a much better choice. FYI, Lance didn't write any of those jokes.
