Welcome to the Tue, 05/28/2009 – 02:10 edition of Off Topic! You are looking at the next step in the evolution of VCN, the Off-Topic page. Have you ever been frustrated because you had a burning desire to call someone a sandbagger and could only hope to be timely by posting your comment to a photo gallery page or on a page describing a charity ride?
Well, your prayers have been answered! You can post your comment from the home page and it magically comes to rest here with the other orphans from the land of Misfit Comments. The page gets refreshed every day, but not to worry! Each day’s page will be archived and treasured, so you can look back on past pages with pride, shame or disgust-depending on how the day’s conversation went. So post away! We’ve got an internet to fill up.

He doesn’t suck, his racing style just isn’t that exciting. He took third in his last TDF, that’s not bad. Certainly doesn’t suck. HE’s just not exciting AT ALL to watch. Smart racer, no doubt. But he never takes any chances, therefore will never be a fan favorite.
1. You just noticed?
nah, been in my craw for a bit. that just seemed like a good time to mention it
2. Why be subtle?
NYVeloCity does some of the best cycling journalism / interviews out there, and unabashed bias is counterproductive to the journalism angle. also, subtlety is a better play from a strategic perspective for your ultimate goal.
“All warfare is based on deception. When able to attack, therefore, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”
I get your point and agree with it for the most part, except I’d say that being for the truth is not a bias.
fair enough, bro. to be honest i could’ve used a different quotation from the art of war to justify the strategy; “If your opponent has a bad temper, seek to irritate him.” happy hunting!
When you can take the pebble from my hand, it will be time for you to leave.
when 900 years your age, look as good YOU will not, hm?
Yoda, if you’re so wise, how come you can’t talk like normal people?
