Good stuff
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Whalen, Kevin Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2010 8:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [COWs] Lance helped bust radio announcer ---Last week's uproar over Tony Kornheiser for his ESPN radio rant against cyclists, including his suggestion for drivers to "run 'em down," has ended with an apology. The sports commentator made nice in a 16-minute interview with Lance Armstrong on March 19. Armstrong got involved through his Twitter page when people told him about Kornheiser's ridiculing of cyclists, whom he called "disgusting poseurs . . . I'm not saying [drivers should] kill them, just tap them." Armstrong led the charge in terming Kornheiser a "f-ing idiot" and that led to the conciliatory radio interview. Lance accepted the apology on behalf of cycling but amiably warned Kornheiser that he will be monitored. _____________________________________ Overheard: "I have people who follow my career that, if I say 'jump,' they say 'how high?' That's a little scary, but that's the reality of the world we live in today." -- Lance Armstrong, emphasizing to Kornheiser that public figures need to be careful about everything they say.
