Yeah, it's been rough being a Giants fan recently. Only two Super Bowl victories over the vile Patriots of Boston. Somehow we manage to get to sleep at night, after a good bout of crying.

Eight pages. Paging @halfspeed, remember when you thought this wouldn't make it past one?

Amusingly, I actually like that Eli is a ****er. It makes him more relatable, to me, than someone like Brady. All that and still a double champion. Let the haters hate.

Personally, I think that if he held a signing of any LA memorabilia that people brought with them, the line-up from the table would be several blocks long... five abreast.
There are still a huge number of people who believe LA has been deeply wronged by the system, and can't see past that to understand the nastier parts of the saga.
It's an interesting aspect how people think of the villains in our society, some of whom even go on to achieve hero status.

I am personally thrilled that Lance Armstrong will ride Ragbrai this year. Cycling owes him a debt of gratitude and an apology for not acknowledging the problem without before the politically correct and thought police took over. For 100 years everyone knew it was not possible to do the Tour without help. There's no way to overcome the oxygen debt and rebuild the body overnight for 21 straight days over 2,700 miles. Anyone who thinks you can ride the Tour on a Huffy and a buttered croissant is delusional. You don't don't have to like Lance, but respect his accomplishments.
