Around SBN: NFL Players Ready To Welcome Gay Teammate

Instead of moaning and groaning about doping, etc. How about a new game? Find and choose the most appropriate "cheatin'" song to describe the dysfunctional relationship between doping and pro cycling? My vote? "Me and Mrs. Jones"

I think “Everything Counts (In Large Amounts)” is probably a better Depeche Mode song for the situation, but JCGE works.

I don't know just where I'm going

But I’m gonna try for the kingdom, if I can
‘Cause it makes me feel like I’m a man
When I put a spike into my vein
And I’ll tell ya, things aren’t quite the same
When I’m rushing on my [ride]

In this thread I think they'd have to lay claim to

Angels of the Silences

“All my sins, I guess I would pay for them, if I could… all my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming”.
