The Jose Canseco of Poor Comparisons
As you may have already heard by now, the hot rumor is that Lance Armstrong, the man who overcame cancer, won seven Tours de France and is actually a half-centaur, is planning to come out of retirement and compete in the 2009 Tour de France. Exciting news for a sport where steroids are the only headline.
Of course, this led to some discussion on ESPNews, and no-name analyst CJ Knee came up with this gem: “Lance Armstrong is the Barry Bonds of cycling.” Who can come up with the most ways that comparison is wrong? Great job, CJ.
