Brutal, but Hilarious

Brutal, but hilarious refers to thatgirlemily.blogspot.com. I won't say anymore because you need to go there and read this blog, it's that good.

Have a bunch to catch up on:

• For the first 2 weeks as expected, it was a so-so, unpredictable tour. Who would be the last man standing was the question. But now, it's who's going to win it. This was Floyd Landis's Tour, especially the way he rode up Alpe D'Huez. But he bonked, cracked, ran out of gas, whatever, he hit the wall Wednesday, falling 8 minutes behind. When you're a Tour contender, you don't come back from that deficit and win the tour, much less do it the day after you cracked. No one told Landis that. The peloton let him go and they paid for it. Landis rode like a man possessed, refusing to let the heat get to him Thursday (he went through 70 water bottles!). Lance Armstrong dominated Tours, but he never did a ride like Landis did. Staying away over all the climbs, including arguably the toughest of the Tour, the Jeux-Plane, and losing little of his maximum advantage was incredible. Going into tomorrow's time trial, he only trails the lead by 30 seconds. Even if the two men ahead of him, Oscar Periero and Carlos Sastre ride the best time trial they're capable of, if Landis rides his best time trial, he will win the Tour. All with a bad hip.
• Tiger Woods leads Ernie Els by 1 halfway through the British Open. Chris DiMarco is 3 behind, Retief Goosen 4 behind, Phil Mickelson 8 behind. Tiger added to his list of great shots with his eagle from the 14th fairway with a 4-iron, 205 yards away. It's crazy how dried out the course is and how hot it is over there. Definitely to Tiger's advantage to not have to hit driver and the need to shape shots into the greens to keep the ball close to the hole.
• I'd love to be in the gym watching Coach K direct training camp for Team USA in preparation for the World Championships. I'm anxious to see how things go next month, if it's a more athletic, bigger version of the Duke we see during the year. I expect to see in your face man-to-man defense, a fast tempo, and a lot of intensity.
• Our family vacation looks like it will go through Toronto and Montreal, and we've made tentative plans to see Andre Agassi play in the Canadian Open in Toronto in the early rounds. I hope we're able to see one of the great athletes and humanitarians play before he retires, it's not often you get to see one of your childhood heroes compete.

Brad is getting married tomorrow, congratulations to him, I wish him nothing but the best. I'll be at the wedding, it should be a great time, I can't wait!
