I always watched the TDF in amazement as a kid and teen. Started riding seriously about 2 years ago (late 20s). If you've ever ridden a bike at any level then you know that the guys on TDF can't possibly do that without EPO . . . lots of it!
I didn't think there was any chance for Peyton Manning to win a Superbowl. In fact after he choked against Pittsburg I stated that Eli Manning would win a Superbowl before Peyton Manning (being sarcastic), so I guess I was wrong on both accounts.
I thought that all 11 blackshirts off the best college football team of all time would start in the NFL. Only ten did. Their best player, Farley, never made it, due to off the field problems.
