Well, that answers that....

We're still better than the French.

During the course of the race, American Floyd Landis proved that he had the strength of a bear, the speed of a puma, the ingenuity of a Colonial-era minuteman, the purple heart of a true American hero, and perhaps the most powerful left hip in the history of athletics as he gained, then lost, then grabbed and ultimately held onto the yellow jersey.


What really amazes me is the fact that Landis won the Tour with a hip that will have to be replaced this year!

The guy can't even walk due to his hip, but he's out there riding his ass off and winning the Tour de France. That's outstanding. That's worthy of inclusion to the Clank Brigade.

(For those who don't know, the Clank Brigade is made up of people who have brass balls so damn big that they clank together when they walk. Gender does not determine membership, either. Condi Rice has brass balls. Big'uns. Trust me on this.)
