On trial is Lance Armstrong, the man
The worst part of the Lance Armstrong story isn't the lying, considering more important people have lied more loudly. And it's not the cheating, considering bigger athletes to Americans have cheated. It's certainly not how he sullied the sport of...Tags: Livestrong Foundation, Oprah Winfrey, Cycling, Mike Ditka, Sports

Oprah confessional won't free Lance Armstrong from burden of lies
I'd be lying to say that I won't watch the Lance Armstrong confessional with Oprah Winfrey on Thursday -- and Friday! -- nights. Why not?

2012: A Year For Skepticism In Sports
The Hartford CourantWith varying degrees of failure over a decade and a half, I have used my Half-baked Jake, ellipsis-pocked humor for my year-in-review, year-in-preview column. For example … In the Year 2012, Gabby Douglas showed us that a squirrel could fly. In...Tags: Abusive Behavior, New Orleans Saints, Louisville Cardinals, Journalism, Jerry Sandusky

Lance Armstrong picks wrong way to come clean after playing dirty
